CAP-XX Limited announced that EDN has selected its supercapacitor-based BriteFlash LED flash power architecture 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 socialize.
Instituted in 1990, EDN's Innovation Awards honor the people, products and technologies that have shaped the semiconductor industry over the past year. Nominees must have demonstrated innovation that resulted in a significant advance in technology during the past 12 months. "Our 2006 roster of Innovation finalists includes great products across the analog, digital, software and test spaces," states EDN Editor-in-Chief Maury Wright.
EDN will recognize the winners at a ceremony on April 2, 2007 in San Jose, Calif. For information on all nominees in the 17 categories: http://www.edn.com/innovation.
