Audi Q3 is equipped with ams and OSRAM high-pixel LED digital headlights

On April 2, the new Audi Q3, newly launched, is equipped with the ams-OSRAM EVIYOS HD25 high-pixel LED lighting chip, which is used to realize the digital matrix LED headlight function. This solution is integrated into the ZKW microZ high-resolution module and uses thousands of independently controllable pixel LED light sources. It is the first time that a small mass-produced car is equipped with this pixelated lighting technology.

Sylvia Weise, senior product manager at ams-OSRAM, said: "EVIYOS represents a key shift in automotive lighting from passive lighting to active, data-driven optical communications. By introducing this technology into the Audi Q3, we enable a new generation of small cars to achieve high-end safety performance and a more intuitive human-computer interaction experience through light."

EVIYOS HD25 is a fully digital high-resolution lighting system integrating more than 25,000 independently controllable pixel units. Its architecture enables precise and real-time adjustments to light pattern distribution based on sensor data, vehicle dynamics and environmental conditions. The system supports both static and dynamic projection, enabling situation-aware visual communication between the vehicle and the surrounding environment.

Audi Q3 introduces digital matrix LED headlights for the first time in its small car model. The application of micro LED array technology greatly improves lighting intensity and contrast performance, especially in harsh weather conditions.

Guidance lighting functions such as lane lights and guide lights are now more closely integrated with driver assistance systems, allowing key information to be projected directly onto the road to improve driving safety. New features include: lane lights that provide visual warning through changing displays when there is a vehicle in the blind spot; lane departure warning; and when the system detects a possible risk of ice and the vehicle speed exceeds 70 km/h (43.5 mph), an ice warning symbol will be projected on the road.

During construction sections, the digital matrix LED headlights can automatically switch from lane lights to guide light mode to assist drivers in maintaining lanes on narrow sections. The driver can individually switch off functions such as lane lights via the Audi MMI system, and can choose from three extended entry and exit lighting modes. Combined with micro-LED light sources, digital matrix LED headlights can provide more precise high-beam distribution and better anti-glare effects, comprehensively improving road safety.
