Four FORVIA technologies win CES 2024 Innovation Awards

Micro-sized but efficient: FlatLight | µMX

HELLA’s FlatLight | µMX technology is based on an innovative LED light guide concept with micro-optics. Smaller than a grain of salt, the optics allow particularly flat, efficient and scalable end-product, which reduces the required installation space by up to 90%, to just 5mm.

Multi-color combinations of turn, stop and tail light can be implemented in just one optical element. It requires up to 80% less energy compared to conventional LED taillights while maintaining same performance and homogeneity.

Integrating safety and display: Skyline Immersive Display

FORVIA’s Skyline Immersive Display is a pillar-to-pillar display positioned at the intersection of the windshield and the instrument panel, creating a safer driving experience by reducing the re-direction of the driver’s attention from road to display.

High-resolution display and human-machine interface (HMI) appear only when required, reducing cognitive load and improving driver safety. Graphical content across all displays is driven by the same electronics, enabling a seamless interface.

Innovative software for safer mobility: eMirror Safe UX

eMirror Safe UX software platform builds on FORVIA’s eMirror technology to help drivers better see and understand the driving environment by replacing conventional side and rearview mirrors with camera-based system.

It provides better visibility, safety alerts and fuel/energy efficiency. Through features like Transparent View, Reactive Dimming and Advanced Image Processing, the software expands driver’s field of view and reduces blind spots.

It also saves power and diminishes distraction by tracking driver’s gaze direction to dim display when not being viewed and improves visibility in challenging lighting and weather conditions.

See-through safety: Light Tile for transparent door

Using existing eMirror cameras and image distortion algorithm, FORVIA’s Light Tile for transparent door provides see-through view on door panels, creating an extended window effect.

It offers a new kind of advanced driving assistant information (ADAS) – if any risk is detected before opening the door, information will appear through the transparent door to help occupants react.

The flexible tile technology is thin (typically 3mm) and provides edge-to-edge homogeneity while allowing a scalable system of shape, size, resolution and light output. It can also be used for other purposes such as dynamic ambient surface lighting.
