A new automotive demonstrator integrates a blind spot warning light directly into the moulded trim of a vehicle’s A-pillar. The solution combines a flexible copper-clad aluminium circuit from DP Patterning, a moulded interior component from Artifex Systems and ICs and LEDs from ams OSRAM.

Integrating lighting into a curved, three-dimensional interior component places high demands on materials, manufacturing processes and component design. The demonstrator shows how thin, flexible circuits can support the integration of optical warning functions directly into auto…
