Audi Q9 - Lighting Technology

Presents the rear lighting technology of the Audi Q9. Audi has fitted the rear lights with third-generation digital OLED panels, including the first curved digital OLED panels, which follow the body contours closely. According to the description, the curved glass substrate is only 0.1 millimeters thick, and the six panels together contain 512 segments. The video also covers new partially active light signatures and turn signals that project a stylized signal onto the ground at night. Source: YOUCAR, via the original Audi-related video.

• Third-generation curved digital OLED rear lights with 512 segments across six panels
• Ultra-thin 0.1 mm glass substrate that follows the body contours
• New partially active light signatures for night-time appearance
• Turn signals that project a stylized signal onto the ground, available with digital OLED rear lights and Matrix LED headlights

In the Q9, Audi has equipped the rear lights with third-generation digital OLED panels, setting new standards in lighting technology. The world’s first curved digital OLED panels integrate even more seamlessly into the contours of the body – combining visibility, safety, and design like never before. The curvature of the digital OLED panel is key to the enhanced safety. The glass substrate is just 0.1 millimeters thick. Thanks to ultra-thin glass technology, the panel follows the contours of the body precisely. This significantly improves visibility – especially from the sides of the vehicle – and enhances road safety. The curved digital OLED rear light delivers strong contrast and uniform light distribution. The outer curved OLED panel is the largest panel ever fitted in an Audi, comprising 99 segments. The center panel has 84 segments, the inner panel 73. A total of 512 segments are distributed across six large digital OLED panels – making the vehicle appear significantly wider at night. For the first time, the rear lights no longer display their digital light signatures only as static or fully active patterns: new, partially active light signatures in the digital OLED panels create a distinctive lighting design at night. A second lighting highlight in the Q9 are the advanced turn signals, which are available in combination with the digital OLED rear lights and the digital Matrix LED headlights. When turning or changing lanes at night, they project a stylized turn signal onto the ground – in sync with the dynamic turn signals at the front and rear. This is more visible to other road users and significantly increases safety. Do you like it?
