The OSRAM SMARTRIX matrix lighting module is now revolutionizing nighttime driving with its advanced technology in the new Jaguar E-PACE. Developed in collaboration with Varroc Lighting Systems, this cutting-edge module features an adaptive high beam (ADB) system that ensures optimal visibility even in challenging weather conditions. By intelligently adjusting light distribution, it enhances driver safety by detecting hazards while minimizing glare for oncoming vehicles.
This intelligent lighting solution allows for continuous control of the road surface illumination, making it easier for drivers to spot obstacles and navigate safely at night. The use of OSRAM’s durable silicon lenses enables compact and powerful headlight designs, aligning with the modern trend of slim, low-profile headlights. These innovations are helping car manufacturers push the boundaries of automotive lighting design.
Hans-Joachim Schwab, CEO of OSRAM Special Lighting, highlighted the significance of this partnership: “By integrating our SMARTRIX modules into the new Jaguar E-PACE, we’re showcasing the future of automotive lighting. The 20-pixel LED system delivers superior illumination, ensuring drivers have the best possible visibility during nighttime travel.â€
Nighttime driving remains a critical challenge due to reduced visibility and the risk of glare from oncoming headlights. The SMARTRIX module addresses these issues by using a front-facing camera connected to image processing software and smart lighting systems. This setup automatically adjusts the beam pattern, eliminating the need for manual switching between high and low beams, and significantly improving the driving experience.
Each SMARTRIX module includes 10 Oslon Black Flat LEDs, allowing for up to 20 individual light pixels per headlight. These LEDs maintain high brightness and thermal stability even under high current conditions. The introduction of silicon lenses marks a major breakthrough, offering excellent performance in a smaller form factor.
At the International Symposium on Automotive Lighting (ISAL) in Darmstadt, Germany, OSRAM showcased the SMARTRIX module along with other innovative products like the μAFS demonstrator, OLED taillights, and LiDAR-based sensing systems. This event highlighted the company's leadership in shaping the future of smart vehicle lighting.
With the SMARTRIX module now available in the new Jaguar E-PACE, OSRAM continues to lead the way in automotive lighting innovation, setting new standards for safety, efficiency, and design.
