Lumileds unveils LUXEON Flash 9X with Spectral Pure Technology LED for flagship smartphones

At the Mobile World Congress (MWC19) in Barcelona, Spain (25-28 February), Lumileds LLC of San Jose, CA, USA has launched the LUXEON Flash 9X with Spectral Pure Technology LED.

With a small form factor (1.4mm x 1.4mm chip-scale package), the robust LED is suited to producing photos with vivid colors including the most realistic skin tones captured on smart phones. “The improved picture quality with Spectral Pure Technology is stunning when compared side-by-side with photos captured at 80 CRI, the former industry standard,” claims Thierry De Smet, director of product marketing. “Pictures taken with LEDs supported by Spectral Pure Technology have richer colors and facial tones appear more attractive than before,” he adds.

Key to color quality is spectral optimization of the camera flash, which matches the camera response curve and is characterized by its camera color index (CCI), a more effective metric that Lumileds is introducing to replace color rendering index (CRI) for camera applications. “CRI really only applies when viewing objects directly with the human eye, but a camera captures colors differently, and the flash should be designed to counter this difference,” notes De Smet.

The LUXEON Flash 9X with Spectral Pure Technology is a high-power LED that features flux of 240lm at 1A drive current and 25°C, and is hot flux stable at higher currents. The flash is produced at 4500K color temperature with color stability of ±250K.
