Everlight has officially become a member of the ISELED Alliance, which is to develop intelligent RGB LED technology for automotive interior and provide innovative solutions for automotive lighting. With the continuous global technology evolution and the transfer of the automotive industry to digitalization, vehicle interior lighting has grown substantially to improve the user experience. In order to comply with the ongoing trend smart innovation research and development, Everlight employs ISELED to release EL SmartLED (XI3040-RGBIC0251L-AM) with an embedded IC.

EL SmartLED developed by Everlight integrates the driver IC into RGB LED package, which can control chromatic aberration within SDCM (MacAdam Ellipse). The integrated driver IC allows control of thermal runaway by temperature sensing of the red LED. The EL SmartLED has the capability to gang up to 4,000 LEDs in series via LIN interface with a transmission speed of 2 Mbps. Compared to a traditional solution for RGB LED, EL SmartLED provides better color uniformity. In addition, EL SmartLED has been developed for AEC-Q102. A wide application range for lighting the automotive interior includes interior light, roof reading lighting and dashboard display. The dimension of this SMD package is 3.0x4.1 mm to implement the best optical performance.

Everlight has been delivering professional development expertise of over 36 years by combining our R&D, business and marketing teams to continuously seek the innovation and breakthrough on package technology and quality control.

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.
