8 April, 2025 - Yokneam, Israel - Maradin™ Ltd. - the leader in MEMS-based laser lighting solutions for the automotive sector - today announced the newest update of its Laser-Based Scanning (LBS) lighting technology, designed to improve previously published collaboration with Continental® AG (Hanover, Germany) – one of the world's largest automotive suppliers.
This full-color, high brightness lighting, video and image solution is optimized for both automotive interior and exterior applications and takes advantage of all the unique stability, brightness and safety of LBS technology for use throughout the automotive environment.
With its patented LBS module, measuring less than 12cc, Maradin now enables dynamic new market opportunities with high-impact, high-resolution videos and images in-vehicle. Designed to entertain, inform and even protect drivers, passengers and other road users in a safe way, Maradin LBS represents the next generation of this disruptive technology.
With Maradin LBS, light can be projected around and throughout the vehicle in new and innovative ways - all without distraction or danger. Lighting powered by Maradin provides information, decoration, and visual appeal that can be personalized according to the driver/passenger mood and need at the time.
The new LBS module enables a dynamic ground projection that is fully capable of fine and complex characters. The very compact size of the projection unit itself enables it to be integrated in many different possibilities throughout the car body and can be combined with existing dynamic ground projection units, providing a unique, very bright user experience, never seen before.
The new laser projection technology is not only brighter than previous alternatives, it is also safer due to the addition of recently added fail-safe eye-safety mechanisms.
“Our laser projection modules provide endless possibilities for OEMs to extend their brand value to new and loyal buyers alike, using light as their canvas and with unprecedented opportunities to demonstrate technology leadership,” noted Matan Naftali, CEO of Maradin Ltd. “The projection units serve as building blocks that can be used as both stand-alone or integrated projection systems, transforming any surface as a means for communication - either with other road users or with the car passengers. For example, our tiny laser projector can be integrated behind the sun vizor, in the side mirror, or in the roof cover, and can even transform the dashboard into a dynamic, colorful, and sharp display that is brighter and safer than ever before. These laser projectors are a perfect complimentary solution to the current state-of-the-art technologies such as DLP from Texas Instruments®”
