Audi A6 Sedan – Lighting technology

Digital matrix LED headlights for the Audi A6

Digital matrix LED headlights will be a new addition to the Audi A6 portfolio. They offer a high
degree of personalization and adaptive, high-resolution lighting functions thanks to the new
micro-LED technology. 

These headlights significantly improve illumination and create a strong
contrast on the road. This is particularly advantageous when weather conditions cause difficult visibility. 
The lane guidance and orientation light helps with lane centering, and an arrow symbol on the road shows 
if the vehicle is unintentionally drifting out of its lane. If slippery conditions are expected, an ice 
symbol is projected to alert the vehicle occupants. The marking light also draws attention to people 
in the immediate vicinity of the road by illuminating them. The light guidance functions thus contribute 
to improved road safety. As a further highlight, the digital matrix LED
headlights display one of three selectable dynamic projections when entering and exiting the
vehicle, creating an impressive light show even when the vehicle is stationary. The LED daytime
running lights, consisting of 48 segments per headlight, also ensure high recognition value.
They generate eight digital light signatures that can be selected in the MMI. Matching this, the
digital OLED rear lights 2.0 taillight display, with 198 segments per side, also changes its
appearance. Most of the front and rear signatures include active elements, meaning individual
areas dim up and down intelligently. This constant movement creates a dynamic look that gives
the lights a striking presence.
