Audi A8 headlamps by OSRAM Opto Semiconductors LED in charge of lighting

In the new version of A8 Audi models, OSRAM Opto Semiconductors light emitting diode as the distant lights and other specific main light source lighting function. In addition to the excellent luminous efficiency, longer service life is another advantage of LED in the field of automotive lighting applications. In addition, LED lights are very close to the sun, so it can improve the safety of the driver's driving.

Install LED in the headlights in daytime running lights, is a major highlight of the latest models of the Audi configuration. In the new flagship model Audi A8, OSRAM LED used in the headlights of more widely -- not only yuanguangdeng and the lamp with energy-saving LED light source OSTAR headlight product platform, highway headlamp, steering lamp, lamp and other special all-weather lights are also using LED light source. Technology has made significant progress in the headlights can be seen in a single light source, when driving at night can clearly distinguish between Audi and other brands of cars.

OSRAM semiconductor LED, director of the Department of automotive LED headquarters in Germany Peter Knittl said. At present, LED has been able to meet all the requirements of modern automotive lighting, and set up a new benchmark in many areas, so fully in line with the needs of the mass market. "

Let the car enjoy a better life

Compared to traditional lighting solutions, LED for Audi and other car manufacturers have brought many excellent application performance. LED high energy efficiency, with great energy saving potential, which will be the most reflected in fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. At the same time, they are also very prominent in the maintenance of the advantages - LED solution life expectancy and the life of the car, which means that the car does not need to replace the bulb for life, so as to save money for the owners.

The use of diodes can also improve driver safety. Installed on the A8 OSTAR LED headlights illuminate the road, excellent clarity, no glare, the light emitted close to the sun, can enhance the perception of contrast. Especially for the peripheral vision, that is, the sudden appearance of pedestrians, animals or dim light vehicles at night, the white LED light is easier to identify such objects. Even on the road is bumpy, obstacles and old signs, LED can also give full play to their own characteristics, so that the driver to see more clearly. Another advantage of LED is that it is very similar to the color temperature of sunlight, which can reduce the driver's sense of fatigue. To sum up, this technology can avoid a variety of accidents at night.

The future of automotive lighting

OSTAR car headlights is a new product platform, up to five LED chips. Innovative conversion process to achieve the highest brightness level seamless white light effect. When the working current is 700 mA, the typical brightness of each LED chip is about 160 lm. Depending on the variant type and operating current, the brightness range can reach 125 LM to 1100 lm. The brightness of OSTAR headlamp can be adjusted to achieve all the functions such as headlights, headlamp, headlight, turn lights, fog lights, and even suitable for daytime running lamp.

LED technology makes it possible: for example, the use of traditional light bulb steering lights need to use the complex mechanism of the actuator can be replaced by the appropriate arrangement of LED. As a result, the headlights from the original mechanical evolution of electronic modules, can be linked to the car's electronic systems for control. In the case of a pioneering, non glare high beam, the data of the navigation system can be combined with the information of a light based driver assistance system. As a result, when the car is turning or oncoming, the lighting system can be controlled by itself, only to illuminate the necessary road. In the future, LED lights will play a special role - according to the lighting function, you can turn on or off the individual LED pixels, for the specific circumstances of the most suitable lighting.
