Description

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).
