Bayer MaterialScience joins forces with Audi and Helta to promote use of polycarbonate for LED lenses in automobile headlamps

摘要

Thanks to their low energy consumption, low maintenance requirements and long service life, LED light technologies will soon supplant traditional lighting systems. To this end, Bayer MaterialScience has developed customized polycarbonates for this field which are now proving their mettle in initial series applications. Some examples from the automotive industry include LED lenses for low-beam and full-beam headlights and fiber optics for daytime running lights in the front headlamps of the new Audi A8.
