“I particularly appreciate the focus on application-oriented research in the collaboration with Fraunhofer. For example, in the HipE research project (highly innovative pixelated phosphors for laser-based emissions in headlights) we are jointly developing a prototype for a high-resolution headlight with a laser light source. The project aims to address the more stringent requirements of headlights. In addition to more compact dimensions and improved efficiency, we especially want to increase lighting quality for greater safety. The technologies developed in the project should reach series maturity as well. The cooperation is helping to bundle different competences and to show innovative results even faster.”
