BrightView Introduces New Optical Films to Improve Flash and Sensor Functions in Mobile Devices
Latest visual intelligence innovations deliver breakthrough in beam profile management
Research Triangle Park, NC – July 1, 2025 - BrightView Technologies, a global leader in computational optics, has launched a new line of optical films designed to significantly enhance flash and sensor functionality in smartphones and tablets. Powered by BrightView’s advanced micro lens array (MLA) technology, the new computational optics solution offers superior beam profile management – optimizing light control and distribution for clearer image capture and improved flash performance.
“This latest optical innovation addresses a critical need in next-generation mobile devices and represents a significant growth opportunity for BrightView,” said Jennifer Aspell, CEO of BrightView Technologies. “We’re proud to see leading smartphone manufacturers already adopting the technology to boost device performance, and we look forward to accelerating our impact in this fast-moving market.”
BrightView’s optical films are specifically engineered to improve light uniformity and efficiency across key mobile device functions. In flash applications, the films widen and diffuse the light beam, increasing efficiency while eliminating harsh hotspots for more balanced, natural illumination. When applied to image sensors, the films optimize both direct and ambient light reflection, increasing photon capture and expanding the effective field of view for higher-quality imaging.
“As a leader in visual intelligence, it’s our mission to deliver the most advanced optical solutions for evolving technology applications,” Aspell added. “This latest advancement in computational optics reflects our commitment to enabling innovation across industries by pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in light control.”
BrightView’s proprietary MLA-based films are engineered with micro structures – just millionths of a meter in size – to precisely guide the propagation of light. Applying principles of refraction and total internal reflection, these solutions outperform traditional light-scattering diffusers by enhancing light uniformity, brightness and efficiency. Manufactured via BrightView’s roll-to-roll production process, they offer scalable, high-volume deployment for global device manufacturers.
BrightView’s computational optics solutions are used in a broad range of technology sectors, including consumer electronics, automotive, lighting, augmented reality and virtual reality, horticulture and more. For more information on BrightView, visit www.brightviewtechnologies.com.
