Sony, OmniVision receive U.S. licences to export sensors to Huawei: Nikkei

[October 29, 2020]  TOKYO (Reuters) - Sony Corp <6758.T> and OmniVision Technologies Inc have been granted licenses by the U.S. government to resume image sensor shipments to China's Huawei Technologies, Nikkei Asia reported on Thursday.

Some display and image sensor-related suppliers are receiving U.S. licences as those components are considered less related to cybersecurity concerns, Nikkei Asia said, citing a chip industry executive.
