What are Matrix Headlights?
1 Answers
Matrix headlights, also known as matrix-style headlights, are LED headlights arranged in a matrix formation. Essentially, they are LED headlights organized in a rectangular array layout. Compared to conventional LED headlights, matrix LED headlights can provide variable and precise illumination for the front area. They allow for precise control of each individual LED bulb, enabling accurate manipulation of the illuminated range. LED Headlights: To enhance the functionality of LED headlights, many automakers have further optimized the control of LED bulbs, developing more advanced matrix LED headlights. Currently, manufacturers like Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche have adopted intelligent LED headlights in their high-end models. For example, the recently launched Buick Regal is also equipped with Matrix LED headlights, each containing 37 LED bulbs. Matrix LED headlights are fundamentally different from conventional LED headlights. Headlight Bulbs: Matrix LED headlights feature 5 bulbs in the high beam section, whereas conventional LEDs have only 2. A unique feature of matrix headlights is their ability to turn off specific high beams based on distant light sources. Another difference lies in the turn signal flashing method—matrix headlights use dynamic patterns, while conventional LEDs flash like standard turn signals. However, the light penetration performance of LEDs still falls short of xenon headlights. They often appear bright but lack clarity, which is why ophthalmologists recommend not relying solely on LED lighting at home. Additionally, their focusing performance is significantly inferior. Currently, from a pure lighting efficacy perspective, xenon headlights remain the preferred choice.
