| From the UK
market research company IMS Research for the automotive LED market,
released a new report points out that as incandescent bulbs, halogen
lamps and xenon lights in the field of automotive lighting
alternatives, LED\'s role will be more and demanding; the agency
forecasts In the application of the external lighting will be in 2010
to promote automotive LED market in 2006 to 650 million U.S. dollars
rose to 13 billion U.S. dollars. LED main application is currently in
the vehicle\'s interior, as the instrument panel, the display backlight
illumination, or used in various indicator (such as the direction of
light). IMS Research analyst and the author of the report Jamie Fox
said that in the daytime driving light (Daytime Running Light, DRL)
applications such as promotion, is expected in 2013 used in the
automotive external lighting of the LED sales, in general, LED sales
ratio, increased from one third to one-half or more. IMS Research noted
that, LED DRL in 2004 for the first time in the Audi A8 cars on the
appearance, at present less than 1% of car use. The agency predicted
that over the next 10 years, LED DRL\'s sales will grow to reflect the
current market, LED taillights similar scale. Fox said: \"daytime
driving lights the future will be adopted more widely is expected that
the market in 2013 by less than 5 million U.S. dollars last year,
growth of 100 million U.S. dollars.\" LED daytime driving lights today
are Canada, Finland and Sweden and other countries require the use of;
in the United States and other countries there is no requirement, but
many cars are equipped with DRL. In addition, the United Kingdom and
some other countries, neither requires the use of DRL, the actual users
are not many; However, according to a recent European Union study DRL
can save lives, a fact that could prompt the authorities to promote the
new regulations require use of DRL. Fox said: \"LED DRL In addition to a
long life, low power consumption, but also attractive in appearance.\" |

Auto
LED light depending on the application can be divided into lighting
lamps, lighting lamps and decorative lamps with three kinds, with light
indicator for backlighting instrument display, front and rear turn
lights, brake lights, reversing lights, fog lights, reading in terms of
lights and other functions. Decorative lighting is mainly used for
automobile lighting color change, resulting in the role and exterior
landscaping. In recent years, as part of the Automotive LED brightness
problems and costs down, its application volume increased. Breakthrough
is the most difficult in recent years been applied before the car
headlights lighting applications, such as Japan\\\'s top auto maker
launched Lexus hybrid \\\"LS600h\\\" and \\\"LS600hL\\\", Toyota cars in the
world\\\'s first production car equipped with a the use of white LED
headlamps. This LED lamp uses five high-power white LED, can be
expected brightness and light distribution patterns. Although promising
to improve forced to use multiple LED illumination factors, but through
the use of multiple, not only improve the utilization efficiency of
white LED light, but also brings power consumption can be controlled to
the same standard with HID headlights advantage . |
