“EPIC very much looks forward to this unique report that will help us in highlighting and promoting the role of photonics towards the automotive industry. The round-tables that will be organized between the members of EPIC and the automotive manufacturers will be a unique opportunity to get first-hand information on customer needs and expectations.” says Carlos Lee, Director General at EPIC, the European Photonics Industry Consortium.

The report will segment the applications, analyse the industrial value chains linked to the applications, and the technology trends and major challenges per application, and analyse market data and trends. The report will be of value to those in charge of sales/marketing and product strategy as well as those developing the technologies.

The report will be released in December in conjunction with CESA, the Congress on Automotive Electronic Systems, the most important automotive electronics conference in France. It will be available free of charge to EPIC members as part of their membership benefits, and available for purchase.

To receive a copy of the executive summary, or to participate in the development of the study, please contact carlos.lee@epic-assoc.com

A world first on the Audi Q9: digital OLED panel with a curved design

The new Audi Q9 introduces the automotive industry's first three-dimensionally curved digital OLED panel, enabled by ultra-thin carrier glass (0.1 mm) that allows a bend radius up to 200 mm. Third-generation digital OLED technology comprises 512 segments across six panels, including Audi’s largest OLED panel to date with 99 segments, enabling enhanced lateral visibility, new safety and communication functions, and personalized light signatures (static, active, semi-active) with 3D effects. Combined with digital Matrix LED headlights using micro-LED modules, the system enhances interaction with other road users and advances Audi’s decade-long OLED development.
