Osram, the lightbulb company, has advance up with a splendid new LED flare for use in cellphones. Called the Oslux , it is 50% brighter than other LEDs, but more importantly for receiving photographs, the light is compliment and "more uniformly distributed". This means that the light-falloff towards the edge, something familiar to periodic and LED flashes alike, is reduced. This in spin gives a bigger vegetable patch of serviceable light.
The fragment that does this all is smaller, too, at 2.5mm (shaved down from 3mm). How does it succeed to be so bright? "New UX:3 fragment technology that creates the LED able of handling high currents." That "high currents" segment sounds similar to bad headlines for your cellphone battery.
Your photos will still be ugly, though, with washed-out faces and severe shadows. Which brings me to a subject about cellphone "flashes". The lenses are tiny, so because not make a ring-flash that wraps around them? That way, shadows would be cancelled out (or, rather, filled in) and instead of bad snapshots you'd obtain a great fashion-shoot look to all your snaps. I'm serious. Why isn't somebody carrying out this already?
The fancy Oslux lamps will find their way in to cellphones as shortly as a phone producer decides it needs a new bullet-point on the feature-list.
