Colorfast light design

Surface design and lighting design are two brand-defining elements in the vehicle world of tomorrow. LEONHARD KURZ and MENTOR, the manufacturer of fiber-optic systems, are demonstrating how these two components harmonize perfectly. An all-round successful overall concept for backlit shy tech design surfaces or HMI functions.

Thanks to a proven RGB algorithm, company-specific corporate identity colors can be implemented with full color fidelity. Everything is possible - from gradient effects with different brightnesses to dynamic exposure of individual symbols or entire color surfaces. Light and surface design merge to create an innovative, futuristic design with fantastic effects and a high degree of customization. Customers benefit from the close cooperation between KURZ and MENTOR in several ways. The coordination in the project is reduced to a minimum, the production processes are extremely economical and resource-saving, as is the use of materials.

Shy tech design

The innovation and design specialists at KURZ have done a superb job: Explore the Overhead Light Console (OHLC) concept, which projects logos or light designs onto the instrument cluster using projection technology. Additional functions are controlled via touch and gesture. And there’s more to it. Everything is hidden behind sealed surfaces. KURZ ensures that design, functionality, and safety go hand-in-hand for the driver.

Simultaneous sensor integration

The economical IME process creates a highly functional shy tech design in a single step. A one-step process for molding, decoration, and sensor application.
