Summary

Yole Dveloppement has edited a new report in collaboration with the European Photonics Industry Consortium (EPIC). This report is analysing current and future applications of photonics in cars.

Today, photonic devices are already used in cars: LEDs for brake or interior lighting or backlighting, and optical sensors like for rain detection for automatic wipers.

for each of these applications the report describes:

The optoelectronic devices (product or developments)
The current and future applications
The technological and market trends
A SWOT analysis
A market forecast for 2003-2009 (figure 2)
Challenges
Conclusions
