Macroblock, who are actively developing in new fields, have recently begun work in the automotive market. Major makers have successively adopted Macroblock’s automotive LED driver ICs.
To enhance brand visibility, Macroblock participated in CES this year. The exhibits included LED headlamp and rear lights, and FALD (Full Array Local Dimming) LED backlight modules for in-vehicle displays.
Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB)
Macroblock demonstrated an ADB system by using 100 LEDs and their MBI6353Q driver ICs, which boasts flexible current design; 4,096 steps of brightness adjustment to fit ambient light change, and compliance with automotive safety integrity level ASIL B.
Full-width rear lights
Automakers design rear lights in a strip or narrow shape, forming a full-width rear light band. The visual extension is achieved by increasing the illuminated area, and cars are easier to identify when lit up at night. A higher-end design is capable of independent control of LEDs, and welcome light effect of rear light can be programmed variously.
