Matrix Laser Led Headlights

Audi was the first car maker to launch matrix headlights on the audi a8 in 2013 but since then more and more car makers have rolled out these clever led lights.

Close up of a µafs led matrix headlight. The matrix in the lights name refers to audi s matrix laser system. Benefits of the innovation. A matrix led headlight is an adaptive driving beam adb system equipped with an array of individually addressable and controllable leds which work together with an electronic control unit ecu and traffic detection device in order to optimize lighting scenarios for improved driving visibility at night time without applying glare to drivers in oncoming or preceding vehicles.

That system debuted on the q8 concept. At high speeds the range of the light beam is increased automatically. Audi is further extending its lead in automotive lighting technology. The bmw laser headlights are basically enhanced fully adaptive led lights where the high beam is supported through laser technology.

In addition to allowing matrix led headlights and setting standards for high beam and low beam visibility and glare the proposal also includes building and equipping a test track with laboratory. This lighting trend opens up completely new horizons in the design and performance of headlights. In the sponsored project intelligent laser light for compact and high resolution adaptive headlights ilas the brand with the four rings is working on the headlights of the future with partners from industry and science. Bmw says that lasers have an illuminating power 1 000 times more powerful than light emitting diodes or leds which up until just recently provided the greatest wow factor of all the bulb technologies out there thus bmw says the laser lights can be much smaller than conventional lighting systems they can use less energy to operate and well they look pretty darn cool too.

Each headlight uses a single laser as the light source but the beam is broken into a million distinct pixels by the diodes said volker kaese audi s director of innovation. Laser light is an absolute innovation in automotive lighting and the next big step forward since the introduction of halogen xenon and led headlight technologies. Tailor made smart lighting for every condition. Back to overview matrix laser technology.
