Ams OSram introduces the new SYNIOS P1515 series of automotive signal light leds

     Ams OSram has announced the introduction of a range of side-emitting, low-power leds that are designed to be simplified, easy to install and achieve uniform light efficiency for applications as diverse as extended light strips and automotive backlights. Today, automotive combined rear lights (RCLS) require the use of complex design, in-depth installation of optical components, including light smoothing plates and light guides, to disperse the bright spots emitted by traditional top-emitting leds while avoiding visible dark spots and bright spots.

     Using the SYNIOS P1515 side light product instead of the traditional top-light LED, car manufacturers can achieve a smooth appearance and uniform light efficiency throughout the body. Using the same number of leds as the top light product configuration, the combined backlight or turn signal allows for a thinner and simpler optical component design, enabling the combined backlight design innovation to create a unique and eye-catching look.

     Alternatively, using the same optical stack depth as the top-emitting LED product, but with a very small number of leds and LED drivers, uniform light efficiency can be achieved. With this design, lamp manufacturers can reduce material costs and simplify circuit layout.

     Michael Lobenhofer, Product Marketing Manager for Automotive Exterior Lighting at AMS OSram, said: "With the introduction of this side lighting innovation, AMS OSram brings new value to manufacturers of automotive rear lights, namely, superior optical performance at reduced cost. "Ams OSram simulations show that a SYNIOS P1515-based design can reduce the number of LED units and drivers by up to 66% compared to an equivalent top-light design, while maintaining an extremely high level of uniform light efficiency."
