LEDs for vehicle signaling applications that are compact, strong, and effective.
A unique side-emission pattern is produced by the 360° radiation characteristic of the SYNIOS® P1515 LEDs.
It is now simpler to achieve bold and dramatic rear light designs while retaining a very high degree of uniformity by using either fewer LEDs or a smaller optical assembly.
Automotive manufacturers may choose to increase design freedom or lower bill-of-materials costs using SYNIOS® P1515 LED.
Munich, Germany and Premstaetten, Austria (January 18, 2024) - ams OSRAM (SIX: AMS), a world leader in intelligent sensors and emitters, today introduced a line of side-looker, low-power LEDs that make it easier to implement, simplify design, and create a uniform look for extended light bars and other rear lighting applications in cars.
In order to disperse the brilliant spots of light from traditional toplooker LEDs without creating noticeable dark and bright spots, an automotive rear combination lamp (RCL) nowadays needs a sophisticated and deep optical assembly made up of diffusers and light guides.
The SYNIOS® P1515 sidelookers may be used by automakers to provide a uniform, smooth appearance across the vehicle's width in place of toplooker LEDs. A much smaller and more straightforward optical assembly may be used to create an RCL or turn indication with the same number of LEDs as in a toplooker-based setup. This gives new RCL designs the opportunity to include striking and unique forms.
As an alternative, a uniform look may be obtained with a much less number of LEDs and LED drivers while maintaining the same depth of optical stack as toplooker LEDs. The lamp maker gains from a simpler circuit architecture and a lower bill-of-materials cost with this choice.
"With the launch of this sidelooker innovation, Ams OSRAM is providing car rear lighting makers with additional value by enabling better optical performance at a reduced cost. When compared to comparable toplooker-based designs, a design based on the SYNIOS® P1515 can reduce the number of LED units and drivers needed by up to 66%1 while maintaining a very high level of homogeneity, according to ams OSRAM simulations, stated Michael Lobenhofer, Product Marketing Manager for automotive exterior lighting.
"The SYNIOS® P1515 LEDs' inventive operation also makes it possible to design new, incredibly sleek rear light bars that increase the product's visual appeal to discriminating auto buyers."
The SYNIOS® P1515 LEDs that are rated for AEC-Q102 provide a side-emission output with consistent 360° light intensity across the device. To guarantee that applications like extended rear light bars may be readily implemented without any bright or dark areas, light is also emitted from the top of the LED, but at a lesser intensity than from the sides.
The SYNIOS® P1515 LEDs' side-emission pattern is made possible by unique ams OSRAM optical packaging technology. High-performance automobile displays already often employ Ams OSRAM sidelooker LEDs for illumination.
You may now sample the SYNIOS® P1515 family in red (621 nm), super-red (633 nm), and yellow (587 nm). Volumes of production are currently available. Visit the Automotive & Mobility website to learn more.
