Single LED delivers over 1,400lm for light-based driver assistance
For example, future headlights may project two guide lines the width of a car apart, enabling the driver to negotiate roadworks more safely. Projections may also be used to tell drivers that they are too close to the vehicle in front, or warn them that they are approaching roadworks, icy patches or other hazards.
“This first product in the Oslon Boost family addresses the trend for special user experiences with added safety and emotional appeal. This LED is a good example that shows the enormous potential our products will have in automotive lighting”, explained Stefan Seidel, Senior Manager Marketing Automotive Exterior at Osram Opto Semiconductors.
The Oslon Boost HX delivers more than 200 cd/mm², taking light-based driver assistance systems and communication with the driver into new territory. Special chip technology with particularly high ampacity can be operated at 3A/mm², ensuring high luminous flux, and most importantly for this target application a high luminance. Its 2mm² chip emits at least 1,400 lm at a current of 6A. The package has been optimized in order to make use of the high current capability of the chips. An electrically insulated thermal pad and special internal design structures ensure that heat is reliably removed from the component. The 4x4mm ceramic package is very robust so it is easy to handle. Passive DMD solutions herald the start of a broad range of applications. More efficient active solutions for glare-free high beam and projection as well as other Oslon Boost derivatives will follow.
