Plastic Omnium’s dynamic projection system illuminates the entire dashboard with colors and patterns to match the mood chosen by the driver. Already integrated into the interior of the new MINI Cooper Electric, it creates an immersive driving experience including lights, animations and projections.
Plastic Omnium’s dynamic projection system lights up the entire dashboard with colors and motifs chosen by the driver. Already featured in the new electric Mini Cooper.
Plastic Omnium’s innovative system consists of projection modules installed behind the central interior display to create dynamic light projections across the dashboard surface.
The module is made up of several micro lens arrays (MLA), each incorporating their own motifs. The light beam itself is projected using RGB (red-green-blue) LEDs. These three colors can be combined to create all other colors. The beam is sent to the micro lenses, around 200,000 in all, which then project the chosen motifs onto the dashboard. This is the first time that several micro lens arrays with RGB LEDs have been used in an automotive lighting system.
