Presse Press: Osram Presents Innovative SMARTRIX Modules

Osram presents its new SMARTRIX modules featuring innovative silicone lenses that enable vehicle lighting systems to be much smaller and more compact. The silicone lenses allow the modules to be placed closer to the LED light source than previous plastic lenses, giving automotive designers more freedom in headlight design. Osram developed the SMARTRIX modules to meet the automotive industry's demand for increasingly compact matrix light systems. The first generation of SMARTRIX modules will appear on roads in fall 2017.

Osram presents innovative SMARTRIX modules


The new SMARTRIX modules with innovative silicone lenses enable vehicle lighting
systems to be extremely small and compact

Matrix light not only contributes to greater road safety but also gives headlight
designers greater freedom thanks to its smaller dimensions. This technology is
therefore very much on the march. To meet the demands of the automotive industry
for more and more compact smart headlights Osram has taken this technology an
important stage further with the development of innovative SMARTRIX modules.
SMARTRIX is an amalgam of “smart” and “matrix”. “By using new materials for the
lens systems we have been able to make the SMARTRIX modules even smaller and
more durable, so our customers have even more freedom in designing their
headlights”, explained Hans-Joachim Schwabe, CEO Specialty Lighting at Osram.

Matrix headlights provide ideal visibility at night and poor weather conditions. The smart
distribution of light ensures that the road is illuminated with a high level of precision and
maximum light output without dazzling oncoming drivers. Several individually controllable
LEDs are combined into a matrix (array) with common optics. The LEDs can be controlled
individually, “pixel by pixel”, so specific areas of the road and its environs can be
illuminated or masked out as required.

Smaller modules mean new headlight designs


The standard plastic lenses which have been used in the past few years for matrix systems
could no longer meet the requirement to be placed closer and closer to the light source.
Osram therefore looked for a new material for the lenses and developed the SMARTRIX
modules which are equipped with lenses made of silicone as this material emerged as the
best alternative to plastic. The lenses offer properties such as long life and high resistance
to heat and radiation, and are also less expensive than glass lenses. In addition, silicone

lenses can be attached directly to the LEDs, making the product much smaller overall.
Headlight designers have much greater freedom as a result and can more easily follow the
trend for narrow low-profile headlights.

First-generation SMARTRIX modules from Osram will appear on the roads in the fall of
2017. As the leading player in automotive lighting, Osram is already working on the next
generation which will offer multi-line matrix functionality in one module, and the chance to
make headlights even more compact.

Osram is developing SMARTRIX modules with innovative long-life silicone lenses.
