Osram Opto Semiconductors announces the prototype of the Oslon Compact, currently the smallest high-power LED available to the automotive market. A prototype is being unveiled at the SIA Vision 2012 Conference in Versailles, France (October 9-10).

Thanks to the flexible arrangement of these small LEDs, it is now much easier and more cost-effective to create unique, signature LED headlight designs. LEDs have faced a major challenge as light sources in vehicle headlights because, despite their high efficiency, luminous intensity and durability, different LEDs have had to be used for different areas in the headlight in order to achieve a uniform arrangement of the light-emitting surfaces. This has necessitated complex design concepts involving increased effort and costs.
