Digital Projections for maximum customization
Our new digital projection systems offer a wide range of vehicle design options and numerous possibilities for interior and exterior customization. With its digital projection systems, OPmobility Lighting transforms the vehicle into a “living room on wheels” and its surroundings into an interactive canvas for functional and impressive light scenarios. In doing so, we create the basis for completely new and unique vehicle designs and offer a wide range of possibilities for displaying individual content – from static motifs and patterns to dynamic videos, both inside and outside the vehicle.
Technical Details
- Digital projection module with DMD technology, integrated electronics and video signal processing (e.g. via on-board memory)
- DMD chip in different performance levels:
- 0.2 inch DMD (Texas Instruments DLP® 2021) with 588 x 330 pixels
- 0.3 inch DMD (Texas Instruments DLP® 3021-Q1) with 864 x 480 pixels
- Optical output: 25-200 lm (e.g. 150 lm for headliner projection application)
- High-frequency modulation of the mirrors for smooth reproduction of images and video sequences
- LIN bus available up to Ethernet communication
- LED driver for controlling white or RGB LEDs
- Video content from internal memory (data update possible) or live streaming option
- Depending on the application, the best compromise between dynamics and system costs
“The technology behind our digital projection systems is really fascinating and extremely versatile. Until now, projections in the automotive sector have been limited to the use of static, hardware-bound motifs. Thanks to digitalization, it is now possible to display not only moving images but also on-demand video content. For OEMs this opens up a completely new content management market for innovative experiences.”
– Dr. Michael Rosenauer, Head of R&D Projection and Advanced Development at OPmobility Lighting
“Digital projections enable a welcome scenario that accompanies the driver all the way into the vehicle’s interior – into her or his ‘living room on wheels’, so to speak. Impressive DMD projections, whether on the dashboard or the headliner, provide a real wow effect.”
– Dr. Christoph Gärditz, Head of R&D Projection
