Digital matrix LED module
- Audi launches next-generation lighting technology with EV e-tron (2021)
- Matrix LED headlights operate like video projectors (pixel-based lighting and animation)
What the heck is Matrix LED?
- A 150 foot “light carpet” that is designed to keep light within the driver’s lane and extends the carpet left or right when changing lanes and helps to avoid a “blinding” effect for oncoming traffic
- Beamforming to prevent “dazzling” other oncoming traffic.
- Micromirrors that can adjust light beam pixels up to 5,000 times per second
- On-ground light arrows that place the vehicle’s tires within its lane
- Highlighting of pedestrians or objects on the road
