Toyota Introducing Next-Generation LED Array Headlights in 2015 - autoevolution
Many automakers have started to come up with advanced headlights that try to illuminate as much of the road as possible without blinding other drivers. Starting 2015, some Toyota models will benefit from the automaker’s new LED Array Adaptive High Beam System (LED Array AHS), which provides a wider range of illumination than earlier systems without dazzling preceding or oncoming drivers. The new headlights use multiple independently controlled LEDs arranged in a single horizontal line to provide a wide range illumination. The system is working in pair with a front view camera and each LED can be dimmed or brightened to allow gaps in the area illuminated ahead. This way, the LED Array AHS can brighten up even the space between preceding and oncoming vehicles to make it easier detect pedestrians and other obstacles while keeping the other drivers’ eyes glare free. If that isn’t enough, the new headlights adapt the distribution of light to a wide range of driving circumstances. Source: www.autoevolution.com
