The ISELED Alliance welcomed three new members to intensify the ISELED technology for automotive applications. Two German companies Marquardt, Preh and a Finland-based company TactoTek joined the open, industrial alliance developing a comprehensive system solution for innovative automotive lighting based on the ISELED technology.

So as of August 2020, the ISELED Alliance consists of (in alphabetic order): Allegro MicroSystems, Brightek, Cemm Thome, designLED, Dominant Opto Technologies, Dräxlmaier, Dr. Schneider, Elmos, Everlight, feno, Grupo Antolin, Hella, Inova Semiconductors, iSYS RTS, ITSWELL, Lightworks, Lucie Labs, Magna Lighting, Marquardt, Melexis, Microchip, novem, NXP, Osram Opto Semiconductors, Pforzheim University, Preh, Prettl Group, TactoTek, Techniplas, TE Connectivity, UG Systems, Valeo and Xingyu.

Various solutions focusing on the automotive market are continuously being developed by ISELED alliance members. The product range includes smart LED modules, standalone drivers/controllers, dedicated microcontrollers and development kits. Systems combining ISELED components with optics are under development. And the success story continues, the Alliance just has finalized the specification of the 2nd generation ISELED. The new products will feature higher color point accuracy over the complete temperature range and higher current classes. A further milestone is the expansion of the original local ISELED protocol to a true field bus across the automobile. This was done by the development of the ILaS bus concept (ISELED Light and Sensor network). With ILaS not only LEDs - RGB or Infrared for example - but also other components such as Matrix LED lights, sensors and actuators can be controlled in large numbers via a simple unshielded two-wire cable. A first test chip of ILaS already is available fully proving all objectives set including the targeted high EMC robustness.

On September 3, 2020 the 3rd ISELED Conference in the format of a combined on-site and livestream “Workshop” will take place where the ISELED Alliance members will present all this in detail together with latest products and systems solutions around ISELED.
