Lumileds develops automotive lighting led technology
January 11, 2011 - Based on an analysis of the current automotive LED market, and in view of the fact that Philips Lumileds is becoming a major driver of the global automotive industry's development in lighting technology, Frost & Sullivan, a world-renowned brand consulting and market research firm Tulane) awarded its "2010 Frost & Sullivan Global Technology Innovation of the Year Award".
Compared to halogen lamps, high-intensity discharge lamps and incandescent lighting systems, LEDs offer enhanced functionality to the owner. One of the first beneficiaries is unlimited service life – unlike tungsten filament bulbs, consumers never need to change unless the vehicle is hit by a crash. The most attractive features are not limited to this. LEDs have the ability to change the color and brightness of the lights, giving car designers greater flexibility in developing vehicle value-added features (automobile scene lighting systems).
At present, there are only three companies in the world that have the technical capabilities to produce automotive-grade LEDs and meet the stringent requirements of automotive manufacturers and their automotive lighting suppliers. One of the three, Philips Lumileds, contributes the most to driving LEDs for car drivers and the global automotive industry. The company has two main LED product lines for automotive lighting: the LUXEON product line is designed for high-power headlamps and daytime running lights; the SnapLED and SuperFlux product lines are based on red, orange-red and amber LEDs for taillights and signal indication.
“The main difference between Philips Lumileds and its main competitors is its thin film flip chip (TFFC) technology for improved heat treatment and Lumiramic fluorescence technology for improved light quality.†Stephen Spivey, Frost & Sullivan project leader, said: "This is also the most significant representative advantage of the other two major competitors, especially in the front of the vehicle that challenges the headlight designer."
Thin film flip chip (TFFC) technology allows Philips Lumileds products to deliver higher efficacy with lower thermal resistance than their competitors. At the same time, the film flip chip (TFFC) also supports the company's proprietary Lumiramic fluorescence technology that enhances the color control properties of LEDs. Because these leading lighting technologies are more suitable for automotive manufacturers and their suppliers, they greatly enhance vehicle functionality.
“Philips Lumileds is also a market leader in reducing the cost of LED technology,†Spivey points out. “This is very important because, depending on the application, the cost of LEDs is still 2.5 to 10 times higher than that of halogen lighting.†LEDs suppliers must Being able to prove its cost-effectiveness to its OEMs and consumers can drive adoption of LED lighting."
As technology improves and leans, Philips Lumileds has increased the lumens/yuan purchased by its customers and has had a positive impact on customer value. At the same time, it also provides support including drivers, support materials, engineering services and program management to help customers integrate the technologies they provide. Philips Lumileds maintains the technical quality specifications required by the automotive industry in all of its plant manufacturing equipment. These standards go beyond the standards of LEDs in other industries. Therefore, even its non-vehicle LEDs provide superior quality and performance.
In short, Philips Lumileds' existing product line provides automotive manufacturers and lamp manufacturers with a clear path to the development of automotive lighting systems. The development of automotive lighting systems will help automakers attract customers to their brands at the lowest possible cost.
