EDN has selected the supercapacitor-based BriteFlash LED flash power architecture from Cap-XX as a finalist for this year's EDN Innovation Awards.

Specifically, the ultra-thin Cap-XX GS206 dual-cell supercapacitor was selected in the Power Sources category for its ability to power multiple high-current LEDs in a camera phone to produce a flash that can take clear pictures in low light or backlit conditions, such as in restaurants, bars or other places where people socialise.

"We are honoured that EDN has nominated our supercapacitors for this award", said Cap-XX CEO Anthony Kongats.

"This achievement recognises our dedication to developing unique power solutions for mobile devices, which continue to shrink in size but increase in functionality".
