Current Atala products on the road have a brightness of 2,000 cd/m2. Higher brightness products, up to 20,000 cd/m2, are in development.

Currently, rear lighting is available in ECE/SAE qualified deep red. Additional colors like amber, white, and cyan are in development.

Atala panels pass validation tests (typically thousands of hours), including, but not limited to:

• High temperature and humidity storage and operation (up to 85C/85%RH)

• Low temperature operation (down to -40°C)

• High temperature storage (up to 105°C)

• Thermal shock (down to -40°C and up to 85°C)

• Mechanical shock and vibration

• Corrosive gas and ESD

Absolutely. Panel size and shapes and segment patterning can be completely customized to fit your project needs. We work closely with our customers to help balance OLED panel design rules with their automotive lighting vision.

Typically, no. Headlights are usually highly directed beams of light, making this an inefficient application for a diffuse, surface light source like OLED.

OLED technology is capable of this. Commercialization will follow market demand for this type of configuration.

For automotive tail lamps we pass JEDEC JESD22-A108 and A105 testing at operating temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C. We also pass storage testing at 105°C.

Most Atala products are certified for lifetimes over 15 years, but we can work with customers to ensure that our products meet their manufacturing and lifetime requirements.

While OLEDs can theoretically be made in any size, there are practical considerations in production that limit the possibilities of size. Very small panels are not practical due to unlit edges necessary for handling and FPC attachment, and large panels are limited by production capabilities and decreased yield. Speak with the OLEDWorks team for details on Atala design parameters.

Atala products are tested to pass DIN 60068-2 vibration testing taillight specifications for broadband vibration and mechanical shock.

Atala Digital and Atala Wave products available for immediate design-in can include up to 128 segments in one panel, but higher segmentation products are in development. We have shown demonstrators with up to 600 segments at trade shows and events.

Development timelines depend on the product specifications and the requested testing and development phases. Design confirmation and prototyping typically range from 6-20 weeks, while commercial products typically take 1-2 years, depending on the application and testing required. We work alongside each of our customers to provide a more accurate timeline as we progress.

Our Atala panels pass DIN 75 220 testing protocol through an appropriately tinted lens:

• 1000 ±100 W/m²

• 240h dry climate T = 42 ±3 °C, H < 30 % rel.

• 240h humid climate T = 42 ±3 °C, H > 60 % rel.

Yes, any driver can be used if it meets the current and voltage requirements. When selecting a driver, please note that our OLED panels require drivers with a common cathode, or a high side driver.
