LG Innotek to develop "Nexlide-HD" for a 3D Flexible Automotive Lighting
SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

LG Innotek announced today that it has developed "Nexlide-HD (High 
Definition)", a flexible three-dimensional lighting for cars that emits bright 
and uniform light from five directions for the first time in the industry.

It is an automotive lighting module made by attaching a number of LED packages 
to a thin substrate. It is a hexahedron that gently curves like a rubber and 
mounted on the exterior lamps, such as daytime running lights (DRLs) and tail 
lights.

Industry's first, "Nexlide-HD" emits uniform light from five directions except 
the substrate contact surface. The company applied the LED packages, which 
spreads light around 180 degrees, and a proprietary optical design technology 
to the product.

Former products use ordinary LED packages, emitting light at a limited angle of 
100 degrees above.

"Nexlide-HD" enables the production of unique lightings with designs such as 
straight lines, curved lines, waves, and three-dimensional figures. The module 
can also be cut into thin pieces and combined into blocks to create floral 
patterns and more. The flexibility of the module is doubled so that you can 
form it into different shapes by using silicon. And it also produces smooth, 
seamless light from various angles and shapes.

This product can be applied to the tail lights as well as DRL on the front of 
the vehicle. DRL require brightness of 400 candela above so that they can be 
recognized in the daytime. LG Innotek has raised the module's maximum 
brightness by applying a 5-sided stereoscopic lighting technology. 

"Nexlide-HD" can be used to produce slim lighting and reduce the thickness of 
automobile lamps by up to 70%. This is possible because there is no need for 
extra components in the module, such as an inner lens, to make the light 
uniform.

The company holds 30 domestic and overseas technical patents related to this 
product, and already has a production base and a quality control base.

A representative from LG Innotek said, "Nexlide-HD is an innovative product 
that has evolved the vehicle lights one step further." He added, "We will 
continue to show products that can enhance the design, quality and stability of 
vehicle lights."
