Briteflash looks more than just flash in pan

AHEAD OF celebrating the fact it's up for a major innovation award from Electronic Design News, capacitor specialist CAP-XX has posted proof of its mobile Flash capabilities on its web site.

The page shows three girls who were photographed at night using three different cameraphones. The first picture was taken with a regular Nokia N73 boasting a standard LED flash unit. The second pic was taken with a Sony Ericsson K800 fitted with a Xenon flash unit.

The third picture was taken with a Nokia N73 modified to accept CAP-XX's Briteflash offering, which features four supercapacitor powered LEDs. The difference is extremely obvious. On this showing BriteFlash wins hands down.

CAP-XX has also gained a strong endorsement from its supplier, Danny Yu, a VP with Philips Lumileds, who claims, "BriteFlash maximises performance from our Luxeon Flash LEDs so that cellphone users get a superior image quality."

Intriguingly CAP-XX says it is readying another 'Brite' power architecture, this time one to improve audio quality and power/volume in music phones.

With MP3 ready handsets forming the next wave of trendy mobile phones, CAP-XX should find plenty of takers for that. µ
