OLEDWorks has achieved notable technological advancements in automotive OLED lighting, ensuring premier quality, reliability, and performance. OLEDWorks first introduced OLED lighting panels to the automotive market in 2021 within the redesigned Audi A8, where digital OLED rear lighting in the tail position came as a standard feature, offering customers up to four different signatures over the A8 model range for unique customization of the vehicle. The OLEDWorks panels exhibit ECE/SAE-certified deep red emission color and an impressive 2000 cd/m2 brightness, which sets them apart from panels made by other automotive OLED manufacturers. This is due, in part, to OLEDWorks’ best-in-class multi-stack OLED technology, which allows more active material to be incorporated into the OLED architecture, resulting in higher panel brightness.
OLEDWorks’ ability to manufacture multi-stack OLEDs in high volume allows for further expansion to even more stacks, enabling the brighter illumination required of future stop and turn functions. The result is high OLED panel brightness that sets new industry standards.
Another remarkable feature of OLEDWorks’ automotive OLED panels is the utilization of thin film encapsulation for enhanced protection of the OLED assembly. This approach offers two distinct advantages. First, the thin nature of the technology results in an OLED panel with an impressively slim profile of less than 1 mm in total thickness, making OLEDWorks’ automotive lighting panels the thinnest OLED panel on the road today. Second, the encapsulation is flexible, enabling unique form factors such as bendable OLED panels that curve with the contours of the vehicle.
