Merck will exhibit for the first time at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt, Germany and will highlight its materials for use in the automotive business.
- Smart LC and OLED materials for vehicle lighting – the displays with liquid crystals from Merck have a matrix of 100 x 300 pixels and permit fully adaptive light projection onto the road. New, highly complex functions such as projected navigation arrows are also possible. Hella, a lighting and electronic components expert, wants to bring this technology to the market together with Merck and other partners.
- The liquid crystal window technology developed by Merck can also be used in cars, making it possible to darken sunroofs and windows at the push of a button.
- Free-form displays create new design possibilities in automotive engineering – liquid crystal and OLED materials from Merck permit free-form displays, which no longer have to be rectangular
- Smart antennas for stable, high-speed network connections
