This report is analysing current and future applications of photonics in cars.
Today, photonic devices are already used in cars: LEDs for brake or interior lighting or backlighting, and optical sensors like for rain detection for automatic wipers.
For each of these applications the report describes:
The optoelectronic devices (product or developments)
The current and future applications
The technological and market trends
A SWOT analysis
A market forecast for 2003-2009 (figure 2)
Challenges
Conclusions
Yole Développement has edited this report in collaboration with the European Photonics Industry Consortium (EPIC).
