New generation Osram LEDs brings greater driving safety

New versions of Oslon Black Flat S increase market penetration of LEDs in headlights even further

New generation Osram LEDs brings greater driving safety

LEDs will become the predominant light source in car headlights within the next few years, according to lighting experts at OSRAM.

The compactness and energy efficiency of LEDs in particular are major advantages over conventional technologies.

LEDs also make it easy to achieve the brightness values required by today’s manufacturers.

Osram Opto Semiconductors is constantly working to further optimize high-quality LED solutions for the automotive sector.

With significant leaps in performance in the Oslon Black Flat and Oslon Compact product families, the company shows where developments are headed in the coming years, and what other benefits headlight manufacturers can expect.

The products are designed for use in high and low beam solutions.

In recent years, technological advances have contributed to the increasing popularity of LED-based headlamp solutions.

The advantages of light-emitting diodes are obvious: thanks to their compact dimensions, they allow enormous freedom in design and achieve outstanding brightness values.

Now LED manufacturers are looking to improve the already very high level of quality, in terms of brightness, energy efficiency and thermal performance.

Osram Opto Semiconductors is launching a new generation of one to four-chip versions in the Oslon Compact PL product family.

Like their predecessors, the ceramic components have an electrically insulated pad that makes it much easier to dissipate heat from the package.

As a result, a higher current is possible, which allows the 1-chip version to achieve an outstanding brightness value of 395 lumens at 1A with a chip area of 1mm.

Thanks to the very small dimensions, the product is ideal for adaptive driving beam systems and in extremely space-saving system designs.

In addition, the Oslon Black Flat S family expands to include a one and a two-chip version.

Florian Fink, marketing manager for automotive exterior at Osram Opto Semiconductors said: “LEDs such as the Oslon Compact PL and the Oslon Black Flat S will lead to an increasingly high penetration rate in vehicles, including small and mid-sized cars.

“We always work in close cooperation with our customers to constantly improve our established product families and to push the limits of achievable brightness values even further in future”.
