ams’ Smartlight Solutions deliver differentiating phone effects with outstanding performance. With programmable features, the Smartlight products control backlighting, funlighting, and the increasingly important functional lighting. Mobile phone illumination provides phone manufacturers to increase user friendliness, improve usability, and differentiates the phone from less attractive competitors. Combining LEDs with the ams Smartlight solutions results in amazing eye-catching light effects.

With these devices the application processor load gets reduced to a minimum providing superior power and processing advantages for the phone. User defined pattern are directly stored in the LED driver and can be synchronized seamlessly with a direct audio input. The result is an impressive and customizable display with the smoothest light output and best user experience.

Another benefit is "event-based lighting" or "user-experience lighting,” which comprise the field of functional lighting. Illuminating certain buttons or areas of the phone to guide the user results in an intuitive user experience. As an example, by lighting the buttons for camera use when in camera mode enables the user to capture the picture easily and without error. The same benefit is useful for identifying missed calls, voicemail retrieval, SMS, or even game playing. Since these features are programmed into the Smartlight driver, there is no taxing on the processor while delivering superior light transitions and dimming.
