(BASF) -- BASF and Philips have
achieved a practical breakthrough in the development of OLED (Organic Light
Emitting Diode) technology that allows it to be integrated in car roofs. The
OLEDs are transparent when switched off, allowing for a clear view outside the
vehicle, yet providing light only within the vehicle when switched on. This OLED
lighting concept for car roofs is the result of a longstanding cooperation
between BASF and Philips in the research and development of OLED
modules.
In addition to offering completely new design
possibilities, the transparent OLED lighting concept also allows new approaches
to automotive engineering. The transparent OLED sandwich structure can be
combined with equally transparent solar cells.
