Here we are in the first days of 2024. Car makers and lighting suppliers are announcing a big slate of innovations and developments to be unveiled during CES—lots of press releases so far, and soon we’ll see the actual innovations. Our DVN team will be there at the show, taking notes and pictures. Among many other things, we are looking forward to discovering the new Atala lighting brand from Oledsworks, which has just been revealed (and which justified a slight delay for this newsletter).
So, let’s have one more glance in the mirror, at 2023.
I took time to talk with ZKW about their new Starz United direct imaging technology—a single module providing low beam and high beam without need of a separate light for the foreground. Size is clearly reduced compared to previous pixel versions; so, it’ll be great for short-overhang vehicle design and BEVs.
You’ll also find in this week’s DVNewsletter our final batch of Daniel Stern’s pics and observations from the Los Angeles auto show.
We are starting our 2024 marathon in Las Vegas right now, as you read this, with Daniel Stern and Philippe Aumont. Me, I am replacing Wolfgang who cannot attend. Feel free to contact me, Daniel, or Philippe if you are there.
We’ll bring you a summary in the next DVNewsletter on the 16th. Leave your computer behind and enjoy the show; DVN will do your CES summary work for you! It’s just one of the many services we provide you, the DVN member community.
Take care,
