Valeo HD LED lighting gets Research and Development Award
Valeo's PictureBeam Monolithic is capable of projecting around 4,000 pixels onto the road from a single lighting module.

Valeo has won the Research and Development award for its PictureBeam Monolithic technology, the first high definition LED smart lighting solution.

Available from 2022, the technology was recognised at the 2019 Innovation Awards for Franco-Chinese Teams, held at MEDEF’s headquarters in Paris on 16 December, 2019.

Capable of projecting around 4,000 pixels onto the road from a single lighting module, PictureBeam Monolithic produces a wide beam of light, for an optimal field of vision.

If the vehicle’s cameras detect a pedestrian the lighting system automatically shines more light on the surrounding area, enhancing visibility without blinding the pedestrian.

PictureBeam Monolithic also offers driving assistance functions, thanks to its ability to create road markings.

The headlamps can be used to trace the various bends in the road, improving both safety and driving comfort.

In 2018, Valeo’s research and development expenditure amounted to 2,073 million euros, or almost 13 per cent of the group’s original equipment sales.

Valeo has 59 research and development centers worldwide and some 20,000 research and development engineers among its 113,000 employees.
