Vehicle lighting is a crucial element that reveals a car's identity and determines its first impression. Lighting is a key element that is always redesigned during new car development. Recent advancements in lighting technology have led to a wider variety of lighting designs being applied to vehicles.
Accordingly, LG Innotek announced on the 26th that it has developed the 'Nexlide-L', an ultra-slim line lighting module for vehicles that emits bright and even light in a thin line with an optical line width of 3 millimeters (mm). It implements the thinnest line among LED lighting for vehicle exteriors. Existing products had a minimum light beam width of approximately 8 mm.

LG Innotek implemented 'Nexlide-L' by applying its independently developed 'LED light-emitting structure design technology'. LED light-emitting structure design technology is a technology that uses LEDs, which are point light sources, to create a thin and long line, but makes it shine evenly from the beginning to the end of the line.

LG Innotek's "Nexlide-L" is ideal for differentiating automotive design and enhancing its perfection. It allows for slim and smooth lighting in various shapes, including straight lines, curves, and waves, depending on the vehicle's concept. Its high quality ensures that even when the lighting is extended beyond 1 meter, there will be no streaking or interruptions due to differences in brightness.

In particular, the "Nexlide-L" can be customized with color and brightness depending on the lighting purpose and installation location. The brake lights and auxiliary brake lights (CHMSL, Center High Mounted Stop Lamp) can be produced in red, the turn signals and side mirror lamps in yellow, and the position lamps in white.

Furthermore, the "Nexlide-L" boasts a maximum surface brightness of 7,500 nits (cd/㎡), making it suitable for use as a brake light indicating brake operation. This is equivalent to 7,500 candles lit over a ^1m2 area, making it incredibly bright. LCD TV screen brightness is around 1,000 to 2,000 nits.


“Improving vehicle design, quality, and safety”
LG Innotek plans to accelerate its penetration of the global automotive LED market, spearheaded by differentiated products like the "Nexlide-L." The company has already completed preparations to ensure a stable supply based on customer demand. The company holds approximately 200 technology patents related to this product and also has production facilities and quality control infrastructure.

With the development of the "Nexlide-L," LG Innotek has further strengthened its automotive LED lineup. It now boasts a total of approximately 20 types of automotive LED packages and modules, encompassing exterior applications such as headlights, daytime running lights (DRL), position lamps, turn signals, side mirror lamps, sidelights, brake lights, and sidewalk brake lights, as well as interior applications such as room lamps and instrument panel lighting.

An LG Innotek official said, “Nexlide-L is an innovative lighting module that can enhance the design, quality, and safety of a vehicle,” adding, “We expect that both automakers and drivers will be satisfied with the high-quality vehicle lighting.”

Meanwhile, according to market research firm Strategies Unlimited, the automotive LED market is expected to expand 52% from $2.08 billion last year to $3.17 billion in 2020.
