positive characteristic of the AMOLED for Audi

Ingolstadt, -  superb image quality and fast respons is another positive characteristic of the AMOLED. "At a speed of 330 km / h, we get a stream of images at once," said Ullrich.Audi develop further applications of this mirror includes mounting the tire to determine the condition and level of baldness is equipped with special warning lights.

Glass (actually a mirror) mirror is used for this to monitor conditions at the back of the car, his fate is also coming to an end in the car. During this time, each using at least three car rear view mirror, outside of which are on either side and on the inside (cockpit). Each car must use it.

Candidate replacement mirrors are Laight organic active matrix display emitting diode, or better known as AMOLED. Greatness has been shown to be used as an AMOLED display screen on the smartphone, tablet computers, and now television.

Endurance racing
The use of AMOLED as a replacement rear-view mirror - dipasantg in the cockpit - and has been initiated by the Audi R18 race car used in the LMP. Later, when it's proven prowess and kehnadalannya, will serve as the new value-added commercial use or use on a car on the highway. The first application of digital mirror Audi has been tried in a closed cockpit LMP Le Mans 24 hour race on June 16 to 17 last.

Described, the digital mirror that not only generates broad vision, it also can function as an external mirror. At present, the demands of the outside rearview mirror more complicated, but the size of the increase in size, also affect the aerodynamics. In addition to making the price of a car so expensive, it also poses a physical barrier.

Well, before the digital mirror that is used on road cars, Audi spokesman, David Ingram was quoted by Automtive Engineering International Online said, "We are trying constantly looking for new technological breakthroughs and proven thousands of kilometers of the world's first race."

The result, the quality and clarity of the image shown is consistent in various weather conditions, even at high speeds and is also able to eliminate "blind spots" (the conventional view mirror) and reduces glare. "All of that allows its use in the car on the street Nati public," said Ingram....

CameraThe need to monitor the condition of the back of the car by using cameras already in use today. Difficulties encountered, the camera captured the image is affected by ambient light conditions. For example, too light (glare) and dark. Moisture and dirt can be expected to cause the camera is not functioning properly. Well, now the technology to overcome these weaknesses continue to be developed.

 Audi to develop and then use the digital mirror due to various factors. One of them, according to Head of Audi Motorsport, Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich, to help driver workload. It is said, when physical and mental distress during the race, riders living conditions of so-called "quick racer".

 For different car endurance race with touring (sedan and kupe), jauhlebih flat and the driver sitting in the middle. Others who make the driver more physical distress, cars with engines plus monokok structure in the middle and no opaque glass back. Rely solely on outside rearview mirror.

 "In the past, we relied on driver outside rearview mirror to look behind," explained Ullrich. Problems encountered, the rear wing of the car and the vibration that occurs at high speed, causing the rider on the rear view mirror vision is limited.

 That's why Audi uses advanced technology with stunning results. "Rear-view digital display on the back of the car through the atmosphere AMOLED screen with the image quality is much better than conventional rear view mirror," he said.

 WeatherThe camera used is very small in size and only a few millimeters behind the antenna mounted on the roof of the Audi R18. Pictures taken the camera - a movie - is transferred to the cockpit as digital data. Furthermore, the riders see the results in the usual place in the rear view mirror fitted, is at the top center of windshield."The benefits are many. Mirror is neutral to the weather. Conventional outside mirrors, rain or water splashes or contact with dirt, riders will certainly troublesome. Digital mirror we have tested on a variety of conditions, day and night. Even when another car - on the track - came from behind to turn on the headlights. The resulting picture is still good and no glare, "beber Ullrich.

 PixelsTo obtain this result, Audi specialists use the latest generation of technology as a replacement diode LED, which is AMOLED. "As the name suggests, is made from organic semiconductors. Excess, AMOLED screen can display images of various colors with a resolution better, especially the smaller pixels of about 0.1 mm in diameter, "said Ullrich.
