Audi to unveil new Matrix OLED light technology at Frankfurt Motor Show

Audi is unarguably the leading carmaker in automotive lighting technology. After introducing laser headlight technology with the R8 LMX, the brand has gone a step ahead with new Matrix OLED lights that will be unveiled at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show.

Audi says this new lighting technology opens up further opportunities for design due to their thin and flat composition and significantly increased homogeneity, which makes them even more adaptable within today’s lighting installations than point light sources like conventional LEDs.

In contrast to point light sources such as LEDs which are made of semiconductor crystals, OLEDs are flat light sources. Their light attains a new level of homogeneity, and its dimming is continuously variable. The lights do not cast any shadows and do not require any reflectors, light guides or similar optical components – and this makes the OLED units efficient and lightweight.

This new Matrix OLED lighting technology will make its debut on a new concept car at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
