With the application of ams OSRAM's high-resolution pixel-based lighting solution in the new Audi Q3, digital lighting functions linked to driver assistance—such as lane guidance, hazard warnings, and road surface information display—have been implemented even in a compact vehicle.

ams OSRAM announced on the 1st that its pixel-based lighting solution, EVIYOS HD25, has been applied to the new Audi Q3. This technology is mounted on ZKW's high-resolution microZ module and is used to implement the Audi Q3's digital matrix LED headlights.

The new Audi Q3 is the first model in Audi's compact segment to introduce Digital Matrix LED headlights. Based on MicroLED technology, it enhances illumination and contrast ratio, while providing precise high beam distribution and glare reduction.

EVIYOS HD25 is a high-resolution lighting solution composed of more than 25,000 individually controlled pixels. It can adjust light distribution patterns in real time based on vehicle movement, sensor input, and changes in the surrounding environment, and supports static and dynamic projection functions.

The Digital Matrix LED headlights on the Audi Q3 integrate lane guidance and turn signals with the driver assistance system. This displays driving information on the road, allowing the driver to check necessary information while keeping their eyes on the road ahead.

Key features include a visual warning when a vehicle is detected in a blind spot, a lane departure indicator, and a function to project a road ice warning symbol at speeds of 70 km/h or higher. In construction zones, the daytime running lights automatically switch to lane guidance lights to help maintain the lane on narrow roads.

Drivers can individually disable certain functions, such as lane lighting, via the Audi MMI, and select one of three Coming Home or Living Home lighting designs.
This application demonstrates that high-resolution digital lighting technology is expanding from luxury models to compact vehicles. Automotive lighting is broadening its scope of application as a safety assistance element that visually conveys driving information when combined with ADAS.
