Deep fried "lamp factory", Audi's car lights history: Audi is how step by step into the car lighting pit?

Mention Audi, everyone's first associate is that incomparable lights, as long as on the road, the lights may become the fastest way to identify Audi. But since when, Audi headlamps began to make people sit up and take notice? How did Audi gradually fall into the pit of the car's lighting? That's the topic for today. A brief introduction of the background, in the era before the advent of xenon lamp, halogen lamp in the era of Audi has been in soy sauce in the lighting, in other words, also did not find their own potential, so the story had to be told from the era of xenon headlamps. Audi 4000, was still using halogen lights xenon headlamps era 1992, Hella and BOSCH developed the world's first near light xenon headlamps, but the first for the automotive lamp is not Audi, but BMW, exactly is the second generation of the BMW 7 series. Xenon headlamps, which are gas discharge, greatly enhance the visibility of light, car lights, starting speed and life. Therefore, in 1994, the first generation of Audi A8 as Audi's flagship model landing, of course, used the most advanced xenon headlamps. The first generation of Audi A8 in see buddies with xenon headlamps models, Germany as one of the three carriages of Benz would fall, so Benz in 1995 in the seventh generation E class car using a xenon lamp. It is also from this, it can be said that Audi set off a revolution in lights. Followed from the beginning of 2000, manufacturers have started on the vehicle dynamic response of headlamps interested in lighting manufacturers, enterprises and other organizations began to study the servo steering headlight system. In 2003, BMW, TOYOTA, Opel and other manufacturers began to use the follow-up headlights in their cars, Audi will not be willing to, of course, the same year, Audi A8 also equipped with follow-up headlights. LED headlamps xenon headlamps in time after the debut of the LED lamp is. It is a solid semiconductor device that converts electrical energy into visible light, which converts electricity directly into light. LED headlamps can be used only with 12V power supplies, and instantly lit without delay. At the Geneva motor show in 2003, Audi demonstrated the full LED headlights on the Nuvolari Quattro concept, but after that, Audi did not implement the LED headlights on the production car. Audi A8 W12 models in 2004, Audi will be equipped with LED lamp in the A8 W12 model, making it the first equipped with LED daytime running lights of the car. LED lamp with good response, 2005 Audi will LED into A6 Avant taillights, with nanosecond response speed and light intensity, high visibility is also held in extreme weather, a few years later, Audi once again to the tail to upgrade, upgrade to LED light belt tail, and for the first time in Audi A6. Audi A4 2.0TDI Audi A5 2.0T Quattro coupe Avant 2007, Lexus joined the LED headlamps in its LS600hl models, became the first equipped with LED lamp manufacturers. Audi see what this line, and then launched a full equipped LED headlights Audi R8. Robbed, the limelight naturally very uncomfortable, so Audi will then LED headlights under more models, which makes the name of the lamp factory is getting bigger and bigger. And in the implementation of all LED headlamps, LED lights, taillights, LED daytime traffic lights production, Audi began to focus on the steering lights. In 2012, the Audi R8 used dynamic cornering lights, and later added dynamic cornering lights on more models. Audi dynamic cornering light when everyone thinks Audi will have fun flying when the automobile lighting, actually Audi did not stop the pace of research. Because Audi think the headlights with still no way to rival the gap, so Audi decided to let people around the world are amazing headlights, so there is a matrix LED headlamps, and headlamps matrix can be said to represent the Audi was in the field of lamp is made very high attainments. Equipped with Audi A8L headlamps matrix matrix LED headlamps is composed of 5 reflecting unit arranged in a high beam lighting components, on top of each reflection unit, is a small 5 LED light source, LED light source can be independent of each small light, close or dark, 5 groups of a total of 25 small LED light source fit together, can realize the variable on the front area, accurate lighting. The same night meeting or to have a car in front of driving, matrix LED headlamps will automatically extinguish part beam LED lamp body, to prevent the surrounding vehicle driver risk due to dazzling and. After the LED era CES show in 2013, Audi released the OLED (organic light emitting diode) lighting technology. Compared to the LED lighting technique, the light emitted by the matrix OLED taillights is very flat and uniform and will not weaken. Audi through OLED technology, developed a smart taillights group, the group not only the appearance of intelligent taillight is very brisk, and can identify the visibility will be adjusted automatically according to the brightness of tail light speed, traffic, weather and other factors, to remind the car distance, can greatly improve the active safety of vehicle. The first to enter the era of laser headlights while we sigh lamp factory strength, Audi has quietly entered the era of laser headlights. In 2014, Audi launched its first Sport Quattro laserlight concept car at the CES show. And then introduced a R8 LMX with laser headlights. Compared to xenon and LED, laser headlamps are more bright, and can be controlled by a lens to control the direction of the laser beam, pointing directly to the front, the distance is also two times higher than the LED beam. At the 2015 CES show,
