Mercedes‑Benz - Intelligent Display in Glass - the vehicle communicates with its surroundings using LED technology

Safety is an essential part of the Mercedes‑Benz DNA. The company is currently working on innovative display technologies that enable a new form of communication between the vehicle and its surroundings. LED display elements are integrated directly into the vehicle windows. For example, when required, the technologies can make warning signs, safety symbols, or traffic-related information selectively visible in the rear window. When no content is displayed, the display elements laminated into the glass composite remain almost invisible, blending harmoniously into the vehicle design. Two specialised LED technologies enable different applications. Mini LEDs are particularly suitable for larger display areas such as the rear window. They can be used, among other things, to show brake lights, warning symbols or traffic information for the road users behind. Micro LEDs, meanwhile, offer high resolution and are therefore especially suited to sophisticated visual displays on smaller display areas, such as animations. Both solutions follow the approach that content appears only when needed and otherwise remains virtually invisible.
