In looking forward to the future, he pointed out: "From the perspective of the global market, the potential business volume of automobiles, industry, medical and consumer electronics is huge, and the potential of market segments is unlimited. The key is to find your own positioning."

Global LED lighting market and trends

Alexandar Hoffmann, general manager of planting and special-purpose lighting at ams Osram, pointed out that driven by horticultural lighting, UV-C and outdoor lighting, the global lighting market will continue to grow strongly, with the LED lighting market growing at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 7%. Starting from the actual needs of each application and the company's technical and service capabilities, he elaborated on how ams-OSRAM has become a reliable long-term partner for industrial applications in the lighting industry, a leader in the field of plant lighting, and a shaper of the development pattern of the UV-C market.

In terms of lighting industrial applications, ams-OSRAM's LED products cover different powers, colors and packaging types, and the quality has been proven by the market to be at the world's leading level for a long time; in the field of plant lighting, in order to meet the spectrum required for different planting scenarios and different growth cycles, ams-OSRAM has consumer-level Duris and OSCONIQ product portfolios, and professional-level OSLON1111MicrosoftInternetExplorer402DocumentNotSpecified7.8 The product portfolio of Normal0®Square and Optimal series covers purple, deep blue, deep red, far red and white light. Alexandar made three predictions about the future development trends of LED lighting: Micro LEDs for dynamic lighting, CSP LEDs for machine vision applications, and colored LED lighting for microalgae growth.

Sensing solutions for industrial and consumer applications

Julia Stuebinger, marketing director of ams-OSRAM imaging and sensing products, and her team introduced the company's product matrix in sensing solutions and how to help customers with specific applications. The team comprehensively demonstrated ams-OSRAM's scientific research strength and advanced level in sensing solutions from technologies such as positioning sensors, vital sign monitoring, human eye response to environment and light, and biometric access.

She concluded that through extensive collaboration, deep engineering expertise, senior employees around the world, and its own in-house production, ams-OSRAM can meet the increasing demand for CMOS sensors and ASICs in a variety of applications. She further emphasized that the company attaches great importance to the Chinese market and plans to expand the Greater China R&D center in the future, hoping to work with Chinese industry chain partners to create greater success.

Laser Products-Leader in Industrial Applications and Technology

Martin Wittmann, senior product marketing director of ams Osram Visual Products, emphasized that the company will continue to innovate in light source technology through the development of various specific applications such as green laser and blue light multi-mode markets, leading and promoting innovative applications in automotive, industrial, consumer and medical sub-sectors, and achieving overall growth in the industry. Improved versions of PLT3 and PLT5 will be launched in 2023. The optical power output of the blue laser is 100mW, and the optical power output range of the green laser is 10mW to 50mW, providing customers with excellent beam quality and small tolerance advantages, helping customers more easily manufacture more excellent laser module equipment.

Innovation pioneer in the field of automotive lighting

Jin Yuqing, senior marketing director of ams-OSRAM Automotive Lighting Asia Pacific, through the glorious development history and many achievements of the company's LED products, as well as the introduction of the company's current cutting-edge automotive LED innovative technologies and products, once again strengthened everyone's understanding of ams-OSRAM as the "far leading" automotive light source leader.

Jin Yuqing showed the attendees the intelligent multi-pixel EVIYOS1111 Microsoft Internet Explorer 402 Document Not Specified 7.8 pound Normal0® 2.0 car headlights, which have 25,600 independently controllable light-emitting chips. They have advanced functions such as welcome projection, lane change light blanket guidance, lane keeping assist warning, and slippery road warning, and can realize fully adaptive dynamic control and image projection of headlights. ams-OSRAM's optical components and innovative technologies are widely used in various important areas of the automobile, covering vehicle exterior lighting, interior lighting, decorative lighting, etc.

At the media exchange meeting, ams and Osram executives gave in-depth answers to questions such as the global demand for plant lighting, the deep integration of lighting and sensing, the strategic layout of laser equipment application scenarios, and the opportunities and challenges of China's smart car lighting market. It is foreseeable that in the future ams-OSRAM will continue to develop the industrial ecosystem and continue to provide more efficient, smarter and more environmentally friendly solutions to global customers.
