To demonstrate the increased flash power and ease of design-in, CAP-XX engineers retrofitted several industry-leading camera phones with the BriteFlash solution. In this phone, CAP-XX added a ~1.2mm thick dual-cell supercapacitor [highlighted in red], replaced existing LEDs with 4 high-powered LEDs that can each handle a peak pulse current of 1A, then put the phone together again with no change in external appearance. The original phone delivered 1 watt of flash power for 160 milliseconds while the CAP-XX-modified phone delivered 15 watts for the same amount of time.
