The new Audi Q8 e-tron - Digital Matrix LED headlights

The light in the Q8 e-tron comes optionally from digital Matrix LED headlights. Broken down into 1.3 million pixels each, the light can be controlled with high precision, enabling many new functions. On highways, the orientation light marks the car's position in the lane and helps the driver stay safely centered. In addition, three new functions are available in the form of extended traffic information, lane light with direction indicator and orientation light on country roads. Behind the digital Matrix LED headlights is the new technology with the abbreviation DMD. This stands for Digital Micromirror Device and is previously known from video beamers. At its heart is a small chip with around 1.3 million micromirrors, each with an edge length of just a few thousandths of a millimeter.
