For the second consecutive year, Plastic Omnium wins an Innovation Award at CES 2024 in the “In Vehicle Entertainment” category for its dynamic interior dashboard projection system. This award represents the international recognition of the innovative strength that drives Plastic Omnium.
Laurent Favre, Plastic Omnium’s Chief Executive Officer, says: “We are proud and delighted to have once again been honoured at CES 2024, the most influential tech event in the world! With our dynamic interior dashboard projection system, Plastic Omnium addresses key automotive industry trends in design and digital personalization”.
Plastic Omnium’s dynamic projection system illuminates the entire dashboard with colors and patterns to match the mood chosen by the driver. Already integrated into the interior of the new MINI Cooper Electric, it creates an immersive driving experience including lights, animations and projections.
More precisely, this module is composed by several microlens arrays (MLA), integrating different patterns. The light beam is generated by RGB LEDs (R-red, G-green and B-blue. Thanks to the combination of these three colors, all other colors are possible), and is then sent to the microlenses, which project the desired patterns onto the dashboard. It can be installed behind a central HMI (display) at dashboard level or elsewhere in the interior. This module is the first to market interior projection, demonstrating Plastic Omnium’s technological leadership in automotive lighting and infotainment.
