Magna Ignites Vehicle Design With Surface Element Lighting Technology
June 07 2021 - 08:00AM
Magna is pushing vehicle design possibilities with its new
innovative Surface Element Lighting technology which offers a new
palette of options for automotive designers. First-to-market on the
all-electric 2021 Volkswagen ID.4, Surface Element Lighting is
contained within a compact package, providing a homogeneous
appearance and customizable, affordable LED lighting options for
exterior vehicle applications.
“Automotive designers are constantly looking for new ways to
differentiate and lighting is one way to showcase creativity and
brand image,” said, John O’Hara, President of Magna Mechatronics,
Mirrors, Lighting and Magna Electronics. “With OLED-like uniformity
at a fraction of the cost, Surface Element Lighting is a
game-changer in terms of design and customization.”
At a minimum thickness of just 4mm, individual compact LED
panels can be packaged into tight spaces and situated in
near-endless configurations. The surrounding frame of the lit
element can be modified to create unique 3D panels enabling styling
freedom.
Lighting animations are customizable and can be created within
individual elements or in groups including: lock/unlock,
greet/goodbye, charge indicator, startup and turn signal indicator.
In addition, designers have the option to offer consumers a choice
of different pre-programmed lighting animations to deliver an even
greater level of personalization.
This new technology builds on Magna’s current portfolio which
includes lighting solutions that can be found on more than 140
vehicle models today. For more information on our lighting
