Window awakening: OMTD photoelectric film opens the "fourth act" of automotive aesthetics

一、Light and Shadow Revolution: From Decorative Lighting to Spatial Reconstruction

The interior and exterior lighting of modern cars has broken through functional boundaries and is evolving towards scenarization and emotionalization. Mercedes Benz's digital meteor shower headlights can project warning patterns on the road, Rolls Royce Starlight canopy weaves the Milky Way with 1340 fiber optics, and Extreme Krypton X's Ice Block ice crystal ambient lights bring Nordic aurora into the cabin. These innovations reveal a trend: lighting is reconstructing the way people and cars communicate, with designers utilizing interior finishes, velvet roofs, display screens, and even using road surfaces as projection screens to fully explore every surface that can carry the aesthetic of light and shadow. But it has never been able to break through the physical constraints of glass media. In this era where everything can shine, glass, which accounts for 30% of the body surface area, has always been the "silent area" of designers - until the OMTD photoelectric film tears open the seal of traditional glass aesthetics.

二、The Multiple Dilemmas of Glass Aesthetics

The feature of glass blocking space without obstructing the line of sight has made it increasingly widely used in cars, bringing a transparent view and sense of space to the interior. Any upgrade and development of the window area must meet the functional requirements of the window glass - transparency, high-definition low haze, sun protection, heat insulation, privacy, safety and explosion prevention, etc., and then further enhance advanced experiences such as "aesthetics", which also makes the development of "glass aesthetics" difficult.

However, with the development of the automotive industry, the inevitable trend from meeting consumers' functional needs to enhancing their emotional and aesthetic experiences has made the field of "glass aesthetics" an unavoidable topic in the design of automotive interior and exterior aesthetics.

三、OMTD: Teach Glass to 'Breathe'

Let the glass shine brightly, breathing and pulsating with the pulse of the car like it is infused with life. Does this scene meet the imagination of "automotive glass aesthetics"?

After 7 years of research and development, Shanghai Astrace has achieved a technological breakthrough by using its unique OMTD optoelectronic mapping transparent display technology and flexible optical film as the carrier to make photolithography patterns completely transparent in closed state and dynamically display multi-mode in open state. This nanoscale optoelectronic thin film with a thickness of only 0.3mm has solved the Goldbach Conjecture of automotive aesthetics with revolutionary material technology. It can achieve a visible light transmittance of over 70% and a haze of less than 2%, making the display effect as if suspended in air.

What's even more amazing is that while maintaining transparency, it also has a total solar blocking rate of 45% to 61% and a UV blocking rate of 99.9%, with a sun protection index of SPF200+.

四、The Infinite Possibilities of the Future Window

Due to the breakthrough of OMTD technology, the design possibilities on glass have greatly increased. The representative of traditional luxury and romance, "Starry Sky Top," has for the time transcended the era dominated by panoramic sky glass.

Designers no longer need to leave white space in the side window area. By utilizing this virgin land, designers can fully express brand characteristics and extend the aesthetic design of the entire vehicle.

Automobiles are also evolving towards intelligence, and OMTD technology is empowering intelligent cockpits, allowing the car's infotainment system to use glass to achieve richer interaction methods, such as displaying charging status, unlocking reminders, driving modes, music rhythm, intelligent driving status prompts, etc., redefining the interaction between inside and outside the car.

Today, as cars evolve into the 'third living space', OMTD optoelectronic films not only break the boundaries of material physics, but also reconstruct the dimensions of human vehicle interaction. When every inch of glass becomes a canvas of light and shadow, car design will usher in a true Renaissance. Perhaps in the near future, our vehicles will be as agile as elves, making every trip an artistic journey through light and shadow tunnels.
