ams OSRAM has revealed the development of its ALIYOS™ LED-on-foil technology, which opens up all-new possibilities for design freedom and creativity in automotive lighting.
Using ALIYOS technology, car makers will be able to express brand personality through exterior and interior lighting in previously unattainable ways, as well as to introduce completely new three-dimensional lighting and animation effects for displaying dynamic individual messages and infor-mation signals to drivers and other road users.
“With the release of its ALIYOS technology, ams OSRAM is taking another major step towards strengthening its position as one of the most innovative suppliers of lighting technology in the au-tomotive industry,” said Gerald Broneske, VP global product marketing OS automotive at ams OSRAM. “The introduction of advanced LED-on-foil technology marks a new revolution in the way that LEDs are applied in automotive lighting, giving customers exciting new opportunities to differentiate vehicle brands.”
The ALIYOS technology enables ams OSRAM to apply mini-LEDs on a thin, flexible and trans-parent substrate. Connected by almost invisible metal traces, the mini-LEDs can be arranged with a large degree of freedom to form individually addressable segments of any shape.
They can be positioned to perform standard lighting functions such as a stop light or turn indicator, but with unique, custom shapes and animation effects. The mini-LEDs can also be used to display symbols, words, images or abstract patterns for decoration, information, or warning.
Transparency, an outstanding feature of ALIYOS technology, in combination with mini-LEDs, means that light can appear out of nowhere. In addition, multiple foil assemblies can be placed one behind the other to create dramatic new 3D lighting and animation effects.
ams OSRAM is now working with the world’s leading automotive Tier One suppliers and OEMs to explore the new possibilities in automotive interior and exterior lighting. One demonstration de-sign exploits the transparency of the ALIYOS foil substrate to produce new 3D effects in rear lights: a transparent array of three ALIYOS LED foils mounted one behind the other creates a sense of depth.
Another design shows that ALIYOS LED-on-foil technology can be applied to curved body panels, and is invisible when turned off, creating the effect of “Light out of nowhere.”
Industrialization of the technology has begun. The aim is to enable the first cars to be equipped with ALIYOS technology by the end of 2025, and to have achieved qualification for compliance with automotive quality and safety standards by this time.
