Photonics for a Smarter Life: OSRAM Will Showcase Latest Technologies That Improve Mobility; Connectivity; Safety and Security; Well-Being and Health at CES 2019
Osram reaches into strategic markets beyond illumination
LAS VEGAS & WILMINGTON, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Osram,
a global high-tech lighting company, returns
to CES in 2019 to demonstrate its break-through technologies
in a range of applications including Mobility; Connectivity; Safety and
Security; and Well-Being and Health. Technologies beyond visible
illumination enable self-driving vehicles, as well as Advanced
Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), and biometric identification
applications. In addition to automotive lighting technologies, Osram
will showcase the future of light: Horticultural sensing and lighting
solutions (used by NASA
researchers), and will prove how the right light at the right
time can improve our quality of life through applications such as Human
Centric Lighting (HCL) technology, which has been used by world-class
athletes and racecar
drivers. HCL applications can be experienced in Osram’s booth
at CES with devices such as Osram’s Chronogy™ Human Centric eyewear and
a dynamic HCL ceiling. Osram’s textile products, including backpacks and
vests with embedded illumination to increase visibility and ultimately
safety, also will be demonstrated at CES; and Osram will showcase building
space optimization applications
that can be used by facilities managers and employees via a mobile app.
Osram’s booth will be located in the North Hall of the Las Vegas
Convention Center, Booth #8521.
Additionally, two of Osram’s Chronogy HCL chairs, which provide users
with specific doses of light to achieve the desired outcome, such as
cool, bright light to increase levels of alertness, or amber light to
help one wind down at the end of the day, will be available for
demonstrations in the lobby area of The Sands Hotel and Casino.
“Osram is continuing to push the innovation envelope,” said Stefan
Kampmann, Chief Technology Officer of OSRAM Licht AG. “Our investments
into research and development, as well as our M&A strategy, have
positioned us as a photonics champion, offering innovative technologies
in a range of markets and applications designed to help improve quality
of life.”
Visitors to Osram’s booth at CES 2019 will experience interactive
displays, demos and live presentations including but not limited to:
-
Iris Scan and Facial Recognition: With the introduction of two
new infrared LEDs, Osram enables biometric applications such as iris
scan, driver monitoring, as well as facial and gesture recognition in
vehicles. -
XLS
Automotive Lighting: OSRAM has successfully launched a
new standardized eXchangeable LED lightSource
(XLS), which covers all automotive signal functions. A uniform
platform with four different light sources for brake, tail, backup,
turn indicators, daytime running lights and fog lighting are now
available. OSRAM’s yellow LY5 and white LW5 light up Koito rear lamps
being assembled into the new Toyota Corolla and Lexus ES models seen
on the road today. -
Illuminated
Children’s Backpack: OSRAM has teamed up with Scout to
provide easy-to-manage LED lighting within children’s backpacks.
Compared to reflective strips which reflect the captured light from
vehicle headlights, the Safety Lights from Osram are actively flashing
to provide earlier detection. The Scout Exclusive Safety Light uses an
integrated rechargeable power bank with charge level indicator, which
also can be used as a flashlight.
Osram also will showcase its expertise in LiDAR technology for
autonomous driving with demonstrations from some of Osram’s key LiDAR
partners, and will demonstrate a range of technologies in its
interactive Mobility Table. The Mobility Table allows booth visitors to
have a hands-on experience with Osram technologies including LiDAR;
facial recognition, iris scan and biomonitoring applications; and
Osram’s Eviyos hybrid LED which enables smart headlight technology to
improve illumination of the road ahead, and communicate with pedestrians
and others via image projection. For example, Eviyos can project an
image of a crosswalk on the road to notify pedestrians that the vehicle
has stopped and it is safe to cross the road.
Fluence
Bioengineering of Austin, Texas, a recent Osram acquisition, also
will be displaying its solutions in the Osram booth at CES. A leading
horticulture lighting provider committed to creating powerful and
energy-efficient LED lighting solutions for commercial crop production
and research applications, Fluence will demonstrate its new RAZR
4 and SPYDR 2 light systems for controlled-environment cultivation
in vertical applications. RAZR 4, SPYDR 2, as well as VYPR 2, are
well-suited for controlled environment agriculture lighting applications
addressing virtually every cultivation need across the produce, herb,
cannabis and ornamental growing markets.
Osram is once again partnering with Rinspeed
on its innovative concept car to provide visible and invisible light to
increase safety, security and comfort in the cars of the future. This is
the third year Osram has teamed up with Rinspeed to push the boundaries
of concept cars, developing unique solutions for tomorrow’s vehicles.
Rinspeed’s microSNAP concept car, featuring Osram’s biometric
identification, human centric lighting, health tracking, LiDAR and
exterior lighting technology, will be on display during CES 2019 in the
Harman exhibit at the Hard Rock Hotel. Osram will provide shuttles
during CES from the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center to the
Hard Rock Hotel, where Osram guests will receive exclusive tours and
demos of the Rinspeed concept car.
