LED-Technik im Scheinwerfer

Roland Lachmayer; Mirco Götz; Michael Kleinkes; Wolfgang Pohlmann

Leuchtdioden sind im Automobilbereich schon lange kein Fremdwort mehr. Die in der jungsten Vergangenheit verfugbaren Leistungen und Farben der LEDs waren ausreichend, um Innenraumbeleuchtung oder Signalfunktionen im Heckbereich zu realisieren. Inzwischen ist der Serieneinsatz von weisen LEDs fur Signalfunktionen im Scheinwerfer beispielsweise als Positions- oder Tagfahrlicht keine Raritat mehr. Der nachste Schritt, die serienreife Umsetzung der Hauptlichtfunktionen, steht bei Hella unmittelbar bevor.

Rear Signal Lighting: From Research to Standards, Now and in the Future

John D. Bullough; John Van Derlofske; Michael Kleinkes

Ambient conditions, accumulation of dirt, and variance in weather all have an effect on rear signal lighting of motor vehicles. This research reviewed and synthesized recommendations for configuring rear signal lighting on motor vehicles to optimize its primary functions - signaling turns or stopping, and communicating to other drivers that the vehicle is on the road. Ultimately, it will be useful to have new standards for rear signal lighting intensity, based on accumulation of dirt, or ambient weather conditions.

LED technology in headlamps

Roland Lachmayer; Mirco Götz; Michael Kleinkes; Wolfgang Pohlmann

Light emitting diodes have been an option in the automotive branch for some time now. The capacities and colors of LEDs available in the recent past were sufficient to realize interior lighting or rear signaling functions. In the meantime, series applications using white LEDs for signal functions in headlamps, as position or daytime running lights, for example, are no longer a rarity. For Hella, the next step — realizing main lighting functions for series applications — is imminent.

Nachtsichtsysteme kurz vor der Serienreife

Wolfgang Kesseler; Michael Kleinkes; Thomas Könning

Wenn trotz guter Scheinwerfer nachts in unubersichtlichen Verkehrssituationen die Sicht nicht ausreicht, dann ist der Moment fur ein Nachtsichtsystem gekommen. Ein Blick auf das Display genugt, um den Kontext der Verkehrssituation zu erfassen und sicher weiterfahren zu konnen. Denn auf dem Display werden Informationen angezeigt, die der Fahrer mit seinen begrenzten naturlichen Sehfahigkeiten nicht erhalten kann. Dieser Beitrag erklart die Wirkungsweise derartiger innovativer Infrarotsysteme und beschreibt beispielhaft einige der Komponenten, die bei Hella unter der Produktbezeichnung ADILIS derzeit zur Serienreife entwickelt werden.

Energy efficiency of car lighting

Detlef Decker; Michael Kleinkes

The analyses on the use of energy in motor vehicles show that the electrical power requirements of the lighting technology can be significantly reduced by the use of new technologies. Where at the moment photometric systems still need on average around 12 to 15 % of the electrical energy available in the vehicle, by the year 2015, future systems will be in a position to reduce the share of energy requirements to 5 to 7 %, aims Hella.

Energieeffizienz von lichttechnischen Systemen

Detlef Decker; Michael Kleinkes

Analysen von Hella zeigen, dass lichttechnische Systeme im Mittel heute noch etwa 12 bis 15 % der im Kraftfahrzeug zur Verfugung gestellten elektrischen Energie benotigen. Zukunftige Systeme konnten bis zum Jahr 2015 den anteiligen Energiebedarf auf 5 bis 7 % reduzieren helfen. Welche Masnahmen in welchem Rahmen dafur notwendig sind, beschreibt der Lichtspezialist — und empfiehlt, die Prioritat auf die Nutzung der LED-Technik zu legen.

Future developments in LED headlamps

Mirco Götz; Michael Kleinkes; Steffen Pietzonka; Norbert Schiermeister

As a grounding-breaking innovation, LED headlamps are for the time being to be found in the premium segment. In order to transfer LED headlamps to the volume segment, concepts must be developed which are aimed at reducing the currently very high development and parts costs, as well as further increasing the system efficiency. Based on the experience which Hella gained within the framework of the development of the first LED headlamp in the Cadillac Escalade Platinum, concepts and solutions for meeting future requirements in relation to LED headlamps are described here.

Night vision systems developed for series production

Wolfgang Kesseler; Michael Kleinkes; Thomas Könning

When visibility is still insufficient despite good headlamps in unclear traffic situations at night, the moment has come for a night vision system to be used. One glance at the display is enough to register the context of the traffic situation and be able to continue driving safely. Because the display shows information the driver cannot acquire with his natural visual abilities. This article explains how such innovative infrared systems work and describes some of the components currently being developed ready for series production by Hella under the product description ADILIS.
