AMS OSRAM: IMPRINTED DATA MATRIX CODES STREAMLINE LED PRODUCTION FOR AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURERS
Innovative Data Matrix Code provides individual ID linked to measurement data for each LED.
ams OSRAM has introduced a product innovation that helps manufacturers of automotive lighting modules and systems to increase their production throughput and efficiency while achieving very high consistency in optical quality and performance.
The innovation, referred to as DMC (Data Matrix Code), is based on a unique, machine-readable code printed on top of each LED package. DMC is already available for some members of the OSIRE® family of automotive LEDs. The code on the package links to individual data for each LED production unit: colour coordinates, luminous intensity and forward voltage at two currents.
This two-current setting gives manufacturers the widest range of dimming options for day and night modes, while meeting the automotive industry’s strict requirements for color point stability.
LED+: Greater accuracy through unique data adds precious value to LEDs
With the introduction of DMC, ams OSRAM increases the value of its automotive LEDs as conclusive data effectively support digitalized and automated factory processes. DMC is now available in three automotive LEDs:
- The OSIRE® E5515 is an RGB ‘sidelooker’ LED designed for modern ambient lighting in the vehicle interior. Supplied in a white low-profile, surface-mount package, the OSIRE® E5515 is ideally suited for coupling into thin light guides. In addition, the housing material’s temperature stability has been optimized for improved compatibility with processes based on IMSE® (In-Mold Structural Electronics). The OSIRE® E5515 is available under the part number KRTB AELPS2.32.
- The OSIRE® E3323 is an RGB top surface-emitting LED for ambient lighting applications in the vehicle interior. With dimensions as small as 3.3 mm x 2.3 mm x 0.7 mm, the OSIRE® E3323 is the smallest of its kind in the OSIRE® family – for even more flexible designs than is currently possible with a delta or inline RGB chip configuration. The OSIRE® E3323 products can be ordered under the part numbers KRTB DWLM31.32 and KRTB DWLM32.32.
The DMC will be imprinted on every manufactured LED and manufacturers are free to choose whether to use the data or not. This value-adding feature is likely to be rolled out to other OSIRE® family members in the future.
