THEY CALL IT MATRIX : ISN'T IT COOL
AUDI : MATRIX LED SYSTEM(laser light)
I know one can't even imagine of this kind of lighting technology ,but "AUDI" did.
and produced one of its kind lights to illuminate the streets like never before.
LETS PEEP INSIDE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT IT.
They provide high-precision illumination, have individually controllable light-emitting diodes and a crystalline sheen: the innovative Matrix LED headlights for the new and improved Audi A8 provide a special driving experience at night – and set new standards in safety.
The new Audi A8 will feature the new Audi Matrix LED technology when it makes its trade fair debut at the International Motor Show 2013 in Frankfurt. In high-beam mode too, it ensures bright, homogeneous illumination of the road. The system dims light that would shine directly onto oncoming and preceding vehicles, but continues to cast its full light on the zones between and beside them. This works because the LED high beams are split into numerous individual light-emitting diodes.
“The Matrix LED headlights are a perfect example of our lighting strategy. They are three-dimensional, dynamic and interactive”, explains Stephan Berlitz, Head of Development for Lighting Functions and Innovations at Audi. The 50 high-beam LEDs in both headlights are arranged in a matrix and adapt fully electronically to the surroundings in milliseconds. They are activated and deactivated or dimmed individually by a control unit.
The new Matrix LED technology is activated from a speed of 30 km/h outside built-up areas and from 60 km/h in towns and cities. This happens only if the light switch in the new Audi A8 is set to “automatic” and the high-beam headlights are on. A camera in the vehicle ensures that other vehicles are detected.

Emerging from an extremely brief shadow in the modern headlight technology wars, Audi has announced it will début a concept car at this fall’s Frankfurt auto show featuring Matrix OLED headlights. After sparring with BMW over who’d be first to market with a laser headlight, Audi is moving to incorporate OLED (organic LED) lighting into its clever Matrix headlight technology, the one where a multitude of individual lights are switched on and off to effectively “shadow” oncoming cars and pedestrians from the headlights’ dazzle. (See how it works here.) The point of all this is to allow the headlights to run high beams effectively all the time without blinding other road users—even during the day. Previously, Audi’s Matrix headlights used clusters of good old-fashioned LEDs; soon, the auto maker hopes to switch to thinner, more high-tech OLEDs.
According to Audi, OLED are basically flat, as opposed to regular LEDs, which the auto maker refers to as “point lighting.” Being thin and highly formable, OLEDs thus take up less space than bulkier LEDs. Furthermore, OLEDs don’t require much cooling, and nor do they need normal headlights’ flotilla of reflectors and light guides, again cutting down on the units’ physical bulk. More appealing to Audi, we’re sure, is OLED’s ability to be “subdivided into small segments that can be controlled at different brightness levels.” In Audi’s Matrix LED headlights, for example, finer control over the shadowing of other road users requires more LEDs. Think of them as pixels—if you want a precise shadow over the objects you don’t want to light with the high beams without wasting light (shadowing more than you need to), more LEDs in the headlight cluster allow that. The European-market A8, for example, uses 50 LEDs in its Matrix headlights. With OLEDs, a single unit can be subdivided into many segments, with each segment controllable so as to effectively act as an individual light source.
KEEP THINKING ..YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT CAN BRING YOU.
