Osram unveiled a new hybrid LED-OLED car rearlamp prototype device. Osram suggests using the OLED for the turn indicator and the rear light itself, while the LEDs are used for the stoplight, reverse light and also in the turn indicator alongside the OLEDs.
As you can see in the photo above, the device includes the four basic rear light functions: stoplight (LED and LED light guide, top left), reverse light (LED, top right), turn indicator (OLED and LED light guide, bottom left) and rear light (OLED only, bottom right).
The prototype demonstrator was designed and built by Automotive Lighting in cooperation with Osram. The OLED panels in this demo are circular. The red rear light OLEDs has a double concentric ring structure (each ring individually addressable) while the yellow turn indicator OLEDs are designed as broader mono-rings. The center of both OLED circles is transparent and is used for the LEDs in the reverse lights and stop lights.
