Osram Joins Adaptive LED Headlight Research

Osram is to develop glare-free adaptive headlights, where modulating multiple LED die within a headlight allows the shape of its beam to be varied in response to data from forward-facing cameras in the vehicle. Low-beams that adapt with vehicle speed are another aspect: at high speed the range of the light is automatically increased, while in city traffic the beam is widened to include more of the pavement and road edges. "The aim of this project is to develop the technical framework for a new class of energy-efficient LED headlamps with supplementary traffic safety func...
