Elmos LED driver: Future-oriented control for OLED technology in vehicles
The highlight of the Elmos trade fair presentation is the new LED driver for OLEDs. OLEDs (organic light-emitting diodes) are increasingly being used in vehicles as they open up new design possibilities due to their extreme thinness and flexibility. The drivers from Elmos not only enable precise control of these innovative light sources, but also communicate directly with the vehicle electronics to realize dynamic lighting solutions such as charging displays or rear light animations.
Wide range of applications thanks to broad driver portfolio
The driver technology from Elmos covers a wide range of applications, especially in the field of rear and ambient lighting. With a variety of channels and different communication interfaces such as CAN FD or UART, the requirements of different vehicle manufacturers can be met. This versatility enables car manufacturers to develop customized solutions for different vehicle models and thus meet specific design and functional requirements.
Dynamic communication between drivers and vehicles
A central element of Elmos drivers is bidirectional communication with the vehicle. This ensures that lighting animations and functions are seamlessly integrated with the rest of the vehicle electronics. For example, a precise charging indicator for electric vehicles can be displayed using OLED technology. This shows how intelligent lighting solutions can not only improve the driving experience, but also offer functional added value.
Leading in lighting technology for vehicles
Elmos has established itself as a leading supplier in the field of lighting control technology. The company is particularly strong in the field of rear and ambient lighting. With its focus on innovative solutions, Elmos is driving the development of new technologies and setting standards for the future of lighting applications in vehicles. The combination of OLED technology and advanced drivers offers car manufacturers an ideal basis for implementing modern, energy-efficient and customizable lighting designs.
