Porsche's new matrix headlights said to be brighter and safer
got a new whizbang matrix LED, and if the automaker's claims are proven true, we might be able to fully, ahem, get behind them, and in front, too. Current Porsche LED headlights make do with 84 pixels in each headlamp unit, with high beams separated from low beams as the old law mandated. The new headlight contains four modules, each module mixing high and low beams among 16,384 LEDs. That's a total of 65,536 pixels in each headlamp unit.
LED and laser diode company Nichia, headlamp company Hella/Forvia and semiconductor company Infineon worked to develop the new micro-LEDs that are as thin as a human hair and the high-definition control unit that manages the output of each micro-LED. There are 1,024 lumen steps between the lowest and highest outputs. The low beam throws 160 lx of illumination down the road. Set to high beam, each headlight is good for 300 lx of illumination.
," those first two parameters puzzled out using the picture provided by the vehicle's stereo camera and infrared sensor. The automaker says the low beam creates less glare for oncoming drivers, the high beam is glare-free, and there's less radiance from road signs. The new headlights were born of designers wanting to evolve today's X-shaped lighting signature. It's said they'll make their debut on the options sheet for the facelifted
