China’s semiconductor lighting net translation in will begin on September 12, in Frankfurt, Germany’s Frankfurt auto show, osram will highlight the OLED technology dedicated to automotive applications. Company currently believe OLED will be used in car in 2016, the latest rear device, such as brake lights and tail lights.
In the autumn of 2012 the Electronica trade fair, osram has publicly demonstrated its OLED automobile application technology. Obviously, the company in the past ten months has made significant progress in the technology. With a long cycle due to the design of the automobile industry, in order to be able to apply this technology in the car in 2016, at present, the company should be light to be prepared for the perfect.
“This year, we achieved in the very great degree our road OLED product adaptability, next year we will be released for the first time based on the special equipment of OLED,” head of osram OLED, leach eisler, said, “by 2016 at the latest, we will see the OLED is used for the mass production of new car.”
Osram thought inherent characteristics of diffuse, face glowing OLED makes this technique is especially suitable for being used in automobile rear lamps and lanterns. The application of one of the main difficulty is that the temperature stability of light source, especially under extreme temperature conditions. Osram says it’s under the condition of 85 ℃ for hundreds of hours of stable operation.
Eisler added: “continue to push forward the research a year later, the realization of the remaining problems in the mass production will be few.” Company will be in September 23-25, 2013 in darmstadt, Germany international symposium on automotive lighting show this technology.
Osram has not mentioned lead to other problems such as the cost in the applications of OLED. LED lighting is currently only being used in high-end models, and LED technology is more mature than OLED and lower cost. As the mainstream in the LED technology in automotive applications, OLED may also be used for the first high-quality goods vehicles.
Main advantage lies in the light of LED application in auto control, low energy consumption and weight is lighter, OLED is likely to have other advantages, such as, osram said transparent OLED materials may bring brand-new design concept for the automotive lighting.
