Miniaturization by Murata: the world's smallest one-seg module

Murata recently announced the SUMUDDJ-LS101, a terrestrial digital TV receiver for mobile phones. What is so special about it? Apparently, Murata managed to cut the size of the tuner by half compared to the previous iterations. The SUMUDDJ-LS101 ISDB-T one-seg module is now proudly measured only at 8.7mm X 9.6mm X 1.5mm. The miniaturization of the tuner should save the valuable space on handset - good news for Japanese mobile phone makers who usually struggle to find free space for more and more features without increasing the size of the device. Thanks to the improvements in design, Murata was also able to ensure the high-quality reception along all the TV channels. The company doesn't exclude the scenario in which the module can be used as a removable SD card-type tuner. Murata's initial output capacity is projected at 500,000 modules per month.
