In a “slight detour” from our usual Automotive lighting activities, the design team were recently tasked with an unusual request, to create an illuminated ‘toast’ light tile, to celebrate special memories for our CFO’s parents’ anniversary. The team had fun creating this gift, which showcases the unique versatility of DesignLED technology: dynamic light, custom form factor and uniform “toast” area.
DesignLED were delighted to attend the PHENOmenon consortium meeting in Würzburg, Germany, last week.
PHENOmenon is a Horizon2020 Photonics project, to develop a revolutionary laser-based manufacturing process for custom holographic optostructures, through nonlinear photochemistry. The project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 780278. PHENOmenon project is an initiative of the Photonics Public Private Partnership.
We've seen significant developments in the simulation of potential performance, together with developments in materials and processing. We look forward to the working with the consortium in 2020, in building demonstrators which offer potential future gains in performance across sectors like Automotive.
