ams, OSRAM and Xiaoxiang Lighting Display jointly create μLED smart projection lamps, leading the high-end revolution in lighting technology

In recent years, Micro/Mini LED technology has developed rapidly. Its characteristics such as small size and ultra-high brightness make it a key development direction of the LED industry in the future. In the field of lighting, Micro/Mini LED is giving lighting technology new vitality. It not only improves the performance of lighting products, but also inputs more informatization and interactive potential into lighting technology, leading lighting to the path of intelligent development.

At the recently concluded 25th China International Optoelectronics Expo (CIOE), ams-OSRAM and Little Elephant Light Display grandly released the μLED smart projection lamp MLP3000, which became the focus of the venue. By carrying ams-OSRAM's latest EVIYOS® Shape LED, the projection lamp has been upgraded in multiple dimensions, creating a truly intelligent projection lighting product.

25,600 pixels, ams-OSRAM automotive-grade μLED light source application expansion

As a global leader in optical solutions, ams Osram has always been at the forefront of sensing, light sources and visualization, and continues to bring innovative and high-quality optical emitters, optical components, micro-modules, light sensors, integrated circuits and related software, driving various industries such as automobiles, industry, medical, and consumption to develop in the direction of digitalization, intelligence, and sustainability.

In 2023, ams-Osram officially launched EVIYOS® 2.0 for automotive lighting applications, integrating up to 25,600 μLED pixels, realizing fully automatic adjustment dynamic control and image projection of headlights, becoming an epoch-making innovative product. In 2024, ams-OSRAM launched EVIYOS® Shape based on EVIYOS technology, applying intelligent high-pixel lighting technology to more fields such as industry.

Like EVIYOS® 2.0, EVIYOS® Shape is also equipped with 25,600 <40μm chips. Through the combination of special phosphor + driver IC + packaging technology + ASIC application specific integrated circuit, EVIYOS® Shape has become an efficient and intelligent micro lighting source.

With an ultra-small package volume of 22mm x 18mm and a tiny light-emitting surface of 12.8 x 3.2mm, EVIYOS® Shape has a maximum power of 150W, a maximum light output of over 13K lm, and a maximum brightness of 100M nit, achieving ultra-high brightness lighting functions.

The application of driver IC and ASIC makes EVIYOS® Shape more intelligent. It has more than 25,600 independently controllable pixels. It realizes image projection function by lighting on demand and also reduces energy consumption (system energy saving reaches 80%). In addition, EVIYOS® Shape can also be combined with sensors, cameras, artificial intelligence technology, etc., greatly enriching its intelligence and future application potential.

Dr. Chen Wencheng, Senior Director of Global Applications of ams Osram Lighting, said that EVIYOS® Shape is a high-end mass-produced product developed by ams Osram for ten years. The original technology platform is manufactured at the automotive level and has industry-leading high brightness and low power consumption. ams Osram hopes to give full play to the advantages of EVIYOS® Shape and continue to develop innovative applications. The cooperation with Xiaoxiang Lighting is the first step in the innovative application of EVIYOS® Shape.

EVIYOS®Shap e-empowerment, Xiaoxiang Light Display creates high-end smart projection lamps

As a product based on automotive-grade technology and positioned for industrial applications, EVIYOS® Shape has the characteristics of intelligence, small size, high brightness, low power consumption, small size, etc. The comprehensive advantages of EVIYOS® Shape also gave Xiaoxiang Light Display the determination to create a high-end smart projection lamp product.

As a company specializing in micro-display fields such as portable projection, AR glasses, and car projection, Xiaoxiang Light Display has discovered that current projection lamp technology has problems such as low brightness, short projection distance, complex and bulky structure, low system efficiency, and low intelligence, which limit the future development of projection lamp products. The application of EVIYOS® Shape can provide more possibilities for projection lamps.

Based on EVIYOS® Shape technology, MLP3000 has significantly improved intelligent features compared to traditional projection products. The intelligent light control function of MLP3000 is different from traditional projection lamps. It can complete instant changes to the projected image without blocking the light. This feature is based on EVIYOS® Shape, which can accurately control each pixel light point. At the same time, the MLP3000 can also be remotely controlled through the network or Bluetooth connection. In addition, the camera device can also realize AI intelligent control and interaction to achieve diversified lighting effects.

Through the application of EVIYOS® Shape technology, compared with traditional projection products, the MLP3000 smart projection lamp is also better in terms of brightness, projection distance, and field of view. The Little Elephant Light Display uses a unique large aperture, low distortion, and high-definition light path design to allow the MLP3000 to take into account both high-definition and high-efficiency lighting effects.

In addition, the MLP3000 is only palm-sized in appearance and has a simple drive circuit, making it It is more convenient to use; the design of hot spot separation and the pixel working mode separately make the smart projector heat conduction faster, lower power consumption, and higher product stability;

MLP3000 smart projection lamp has a wide range of applications, including digital signage, smart lighting, information prompts, guidance, ambient lighting, interactive games, smart flashlights, etc. In view of the emergence of more information display applications other than lighting in the future, Xiaoxiang Light Display will also develop different control software according to the application needs of different industries to open up new ideas for the application development of projection products.

Liu Haipeng, founder and general manager of Xiaoxiang Lighting, said that the release of EVIYOS® Shape technology will change two industries. First, the lighting industry will develop towards intelligence and pixelation, becoming an information display terminal. The other is to lower the threshold of the projection industry. Only chips and lenses can complete the production of projector products, bringing more inspiration to projection lighting applications.

Regarding the projector lamp created with Little Elephant Lighting, Dr. Chen Wencheng said that EVIYOS® Shape has brought intelligent lighting technology to a new level, providing greater imagination space for smart cities, cultural tourism lighting, industry and other fields.

Aimai Osram is pleased to work with Xiaoxiang Lighting, an expert in micro-projection display, to jointly promote the innovation and development of the intelligent lighting industry. The innovation results will have a profound impact on a wider range of lighting applications.
