Taiwan-based LED supplier Everlight and German automotive component supplier Dräxlmaier have joined the ISELED Alliance, an ecosystem for innovative in-vehicle digital LED lighting, with partners working together to create a complete solution including hardware and software. The core concept integrates a smart LED driver with three-colour LEDs into a tiny package, which reduces costs, simplifies control, and expands the functionality of LED lighting and display solutions.
Following ISELED’s official debut, initially there were five members in Autumn 2016. Since then, the count has increased to 28 companies. The entire value chain is now covered in order to establish ISELED as a standard solution for the automotive industry.
Robert Kraus is CEO of Inova Semiconductors, one of the founders of the
ISELED Alliance. He says “The broad spectrum of the alliance’s members
gives ISELED technology ever greater dynamism and enormously expands its
potential range of applications—far beyond the original idea of automotive
interior lighting. With our new ILaS bus concept (ISELED Light and Sensor
Network) based on the ISELED protocol, not only LED elements, but also other
components such as matrix LED lights, sensors and actuators can in future be
controlled in large numbers via a simple two-wire connection, which is not
possible in this form with today’s common buses such as LIN and CAN”.
