“Audi showcased the future of LED”

Audi is the leading company when it comes to lighting technology. The company brings a  trend of  White Led DRL’s which fascinates everyone & catches the most attention on road.

Audi’s all production vehicles are loaded with LED but now company is Working on to take the LED lighting technology in vehicles to next level. On January 10, 2013 at CES(consumer electronics show) in las vegas Audi showcased its Future Matrix LED Headlights & OLED Tail lights which makes their debut by late 2013.

The Matrix LED headlights get the data from a camera, the navigation system and other intelligent sensors. The small individual diodes backed by lenses or reflectors provide excellent illumination without needing a swiveling mechanism. They are simply switched on and off individually or dimmed to suit the situation. When the camera detects other vehicles, this causes the high-beam light, which is subdivided into multiple sectors, to be blocked in a certain subarea. In complex situations, The headlights can also illuminate the spaces between several vehicles. Based on Navigation Data the high beam lights can predictively bend in the corners before the driver starts turning the steering wheel to ensure safety At the blind corners.

The most fascinating thing is the OLED(organic LED) Swarm that works differently according to the movement of the car. The car boot ‘Swarm’  is consisting of thousands of organic diodes. When driver turns the steering the diodes float to the moving direction, the faster the car moves, diodes increases & move faster, when car stops the Dots flow towards top.

Additionally Audi showcased the laser beam tail light generated by a laser diode which  forms a red line on the road informed the following cars to maintain the sufficient gap. In fog, the laser reflects through the water droplets & formed a large warning triangle visible through the fog.

 

Audi also showcased the ‘Auto piloting’ system focuses on the Traffic jam assistance on low speed & a fully auto parking system that enables the car to park itself.  The Matrix lights will make debut this year.
