BMW developed a organic light emitting diode (OLED) light tech, for cars and motorcycles. Unlike LEDs, the lamp uses a thin semiconductor layer, which is made from organic polymers to produce light. Claimed, this technology will not be easy to make the lights more heat and energy efficient.
Explained, LED fluorescent angle of one point, so it looks less bright when viewed from another angle. That is why, the LED should use a reflector to reduce this effect, and make the area wider light beam. While OLED is able to fluoresce to a wider area without reducing the intensity of light and do not need reflectors.
OLEDs are very thin semiconductor layer, approximately 150 times thinner than a human hair. This layer is fastened with a conductive layer between two films of plastic or glass. In total, all the layers were only 0.8 to 1.5 mm thick.
Until now, OLED technology is not fully applicable to the motorcycle lights. Just enough light density and fitting is used as a back light. As for the brake lights and turn signal need help to make it bright enough. The solution, adding LEDs, when introducing the concept of the design of this lamp.
Back light OLED prototype has been implemented for the BMW K1600GTL. For the brake lights and turn signal given additional conventional LEDs. The composition of the " hybrid " makes the luminescence light becomes highly variable, even able to issue a three-dimensional effect.
BMW said it could set up a motorcycle with light technology " OLED hybrid " in two or three years into the future. While in the longer term again, this German vehicle manufacturer will produce brake and turn signal lights, headlights even just with OLED technology.
