Superior Photo Quality for Mobile Phone Cameras

PerkinElmer Inc., a worldwide technology leader in Photonics and Health Sciences, announced that it has received numerous orders for mobile device flash assemblies that use the company's Xenon-based flash technology. Lately, the Xenon technology is being regarded as a crucial one for improving high-end mobile phone

camera performances.

The superior photo quality that mobile phone cameras can provide with the help of Xenon flash can only please consumers, this is why PerkinElmer estimates that next year the Xenon flash technology will generate sales of more than 10 million dollars.

"We are very pleased that innovators in the industry have recognized the performance advantages of our Xenon flash technology for the rapidly growing camera phone market," declared David Nislick, President, Specialty Lighting, PerkinElmer Optoelectronics. "We will continue to drive advances in our Xenon flash technology to ensure that our global customers are able to meet increased consumer demand for high-quality photography using mobile phone cameras."

PerkinElmer Optoelectronics is the world leader in Xenon flash technology for both the professional and the consumer camera industry. Compared to LED flash, Xenon flash provides much more brightness and leads to shutter speeds from up to 150 times faster, this being the reason why it is used more in the consumer and professional camera applications. Xenon flash's light discharge is short and intense and freezes motion, providing crisp and crystal-quality images even in dim light circumstances. Also, the photos made with a camera that uses Xenon flash do not need image stabilization, contrast correction or brightness adjustments. The Xenon-based flash technology will most probably bring mobile photography closer to the classical one, in terms of image quality.

PerkinElmer Inc. is based in Waltham Massachusetts, USA, and it's a multi-developed technology corporation that operates in 125 countries all over the globe.
