Philips Lumileds LUXEON(R) Flash Technology Delivers More Light than Xenon-Solutions for Better Camera Phone Imaging.SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. -- Philips Lumileds Lighting Company Philips Lumileds Lighting Company is the manufacturer of Luxeon, a high-power light-emitting diode (LED). It is a division of Philips. History Lumileds Lighting was formed in November 1999 as a joint venture between Philips Lighting and Agilent Technologies. (Philips Lumileds), the leading provider of mobile phone camera flash LEDs, working with image sensor manufacturers and handset manufacturers, has demonstrated LUXEON(R) Flash performance that exceeds any phone-based Xenon xenon (zē`nŏn) [Gr.,=strange], gaseous chemical element; symbol Xe; at. no. 54; at. wt. 131.29; m.p. −111.9°C;; b.p. −107.1°C;; density 5.86 grams per liter at STP; valence usually 0. flash performance. With light output of 1.0 lux sec. at 3 meters, compared to 0.67 lux sec. for a Xenon solution, LUXEON(R) Flash LED technology delivers the necessary light for high quality imaging. Philips Lumileds flash technology will help move cell phone camera image capture capabilities closer to those of digital still cameras. Functional LED flash technology first introduced by Lumileds in 2004 continues to improve as the company makes technology advances. "We continue to work with carriers and handset manufacturers and image sensor providers on the next generation of cell phone imaging devices," said Julian Carey, Product Manager. "With LUXEON(R) Flash LEDs, illumination of 30 lux or better at 2 meters and beyond is already enabling superior image capture capability for users. The extremely small size and low voltage requirements compared to Xenon solutions make LUXEON(R) Flash an easier and more efficient solution and maximizes overall performance and battery life of the camera phone." LUXEON(R) Flash LEDs combine the industry's highest light output with patented technology that delivers uniform white light from the flash device. "With LUXEON(R) Flash, it's possible to deliver images that have consistent color resolution across the entire image," said Julian Carey. "Other white LEDs introduce color variation that lowers image quality. As the image sensors get better, this variance will be more noticeable." Lumileds' LUXEON(R) Flash LEDs are available as a surface mount LED or as a module with a lens to simplify engineering.
