Although the predicted large-scale uptake of LED technology is unlikely to happen before the end of this decade, it has already made inroads with various premium car models, thanks to the unlimited possibilities LED have brought in styling differentiation. The inexorable march towards LED will have implications for all market participants, requiring alignment of products, engineering skills, and capacities. How and when these new LED technologies will impact the US automotive market is the central question which will be discussed among automotive lighting players during the DVN January 2012 Workshop in the Royal Park hotel in Rochester, near Detroit.
After a Meet & Greet soirée on Monday evening, 9 January, the workshop will take place on Tuesday, 10 January.
Over 120 participants representing automakers and automotive lighting suppliers involved in the US market have confirmed their attendance, all of them DVN Gold members. The target of the workshop is to describe the parameters and effects of LED technology in the American automotive lighting market.
It will be a great opportunity to exchange experience, desires, and ideas among American, Japanese, Korean, and European participants on LED technologies for automotive lighting.
