ams OSRAM (Korea Representative Seok-Won Kang), a global leader in intelligent sensors and emitters, has simplified the automotive production process by reducing the optical calibration work of automotive manufacturers by providing LED-specific data.

ams OSRAM today announced product innovations that will enable manufacturers of automotive lighting modules and systems to achieve very high consistency in optical quality and performance while increasing production throughput and efficiency.

This innovative technology, called Data Matrix Code (DMC), is based on a unique, machine-readable code imprinted onto each LED package.

DMC is already being used in some products within the OSIRE® automotive LED family. The code on the package links to individual data for each LED manufacturing unit, such as color coordinates, luminosity, and forward voltage at two currents.

These two current settings allow manufacturers to meet the automotive industry's stringent requirements for color point stability while offering the widest range of dimming options for day and night modes.

“ams OSRAM is the first LED manufacturer to provide a link to the measurement data of each individual LED via a code engraved on the LED,” said Anita Wenzl, Senior Product Marketing Manager at ams OSRAM. “Our DMC innovation not only helps manufacturers increase production throughput, but also reduces the need for investment in cost-intensive optical test equipment and the skills required to operate it,” he emphasized.
