DETROIT, April 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Thomas Tessnow, OSRAM applications senior
scientist, will present a technical white paper entitled "LED Headlamp
Standardization" during a four-part lighting technology series at the 2005
Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) World Congress. The presentation will
take place on Tuesday, April 12 at 10:15 a.m. in Detroit's Cobo Hall, room W2-
63.
Authored by Tessnow, in partnership with Michael Tucker, OSRAM
applications group manager, and Dr. Thomas Reiners, automotive applications
center manager, the white paper discusses the performance attributes of light
emitting diodes (LEDs) versus traditional light sources, the benefits of LED
standardization in automotive lighting and the technical challenges facing LED
forward lighting applications, particularly thermal management.
OSRAM is a leader in automotive LED technology and pioneered standardized
automotive LED systems. The white paper highlights the latest OSRAM
technological innovation, the standardized LED forward lighting system.
"OSRAM's standardized LED forward lighting system provides improved
control of optical tolerances and allows OEMs to achieve greater economies of
scale through standardization," said Tessnow, who will demonstrate the system
during his white paper presentation.
The standardized LED forward lighting system uses OSRAM OSTAR(TM) LED
light sources that can each generate about 300 lumens of light output. OSTAR
devices, which can also be used for non-standard LED lighting applications,
provide the highest LED light source luminance available for optical systems
in automotive forward lighting.
Since 1947, SAE World Congress has been the world's largest meeting and
exposition devoted to automotive engineering and product technology. OSRAM
will be among the industry's best and brightest automotive, technical and
business talent to meet and exchange ideas with their peers concerning the
future of automotive lighting technologies.
