Audi to show first OLED rear lights

Audi will demonstrate Matrix OLED rear lights in a concept car at the IAA in Frankfurt.

According to the German car manufacturer, the benefits of using OLEDs is that they are homogenous light sources which do not require any reflectors, light guides or similar optical components.

Audi predicts that research will soon produce OLEDs with sufficient light density be used as indicator signal and brake lights too.

The thin glass sheets that are used today to encase the organic material will be replaced by plastic films.

Another benefit of OLEDs is that they can be subdivided into small segments that can be controlled at different brightness levels.

Different colours and transparent OLED units will soon be possible, said the car maker.

IAA takes place in Frankfurt on 17-27 September.
