- What Happened:
- Engineers at ams OSRAM developed a new type of car headlight called the EVIYOS® LED, featuring multi-pixel technology. This development took place over more than a decade, starting in the early 2010s.
- Why It Was Developed:
- The goal was to create a headlight that could improve safety on the roads by adapting light beams in real-time. Traditional headlights can’t adjust quickly or accurately enough to different driving conditions, so a more advanced solution was needed.
- How It Works:
- The EVIYOS® LED uses thousands of tiny pixels (25,600 to be exact) that can be controlled individually. This means the light can be adjusted precisely to avoid blinding other drivers, illuminate specific areas of the road, or even project symbols or messages onto the road surface.
- How It Will Benefit Humanity:
- The main benefit is increased safety, especially during night driving. The precise control of light can prevent accidents by improving visibility without causing glare for other drivers. It can also provide communication between vehicles, such as warnings about hazards.
- When It Will Be Available:
- The technology was successfully launched in 2023 and is expected to be available in vehicles soon, making its way into the consumer market as automakers integrate it into new car models.
This new headlight technology is set to make driving safer and smarter, especially in challenging conditions like night driving or adverse weather.
