Highly reliable LEDs to support automotive applications
- IATF16949 certification
- AEC Q101 or Q102 Qualified For some new LEDs, Nichia will perform AEC Q102 testing.
Nichia's Automotive LEDs
Nichia's LEDs are used for exterior lighting (e.g. headlights, DRL [Daytime Running Lights], ADB [Adaptive Driving Beams], turn indicators, etc.) and for interior lighting (e.g. ambient lighting, instrument panels, switches, HUD [Heads-Up Display] etc.). Nichia will strive to further support the expansion of the market for electric vehicles and autonomous vehicles.

Product Features
Always aiming to be "the best in the world"
Nichia was the first in the world to mass-produce the white LED and contributed to the shift of automotive headlights from halogen lamps to LEDs. Nichia's automotive LEDs are highly reliable products that meet automotive quality standards, by leveraging the experience Nichia has accumulated over its long corporate history, the world's largest production capacity, and world-class technology. For headlights in particular, Nichia features highly durable products that offer both superior brightness and high heat dissipation to withstand harsh environments. Nichia's automotive LEDs efficiently reduce power consumption while maintaining brightness, helping achieve a reduction in CO2 emissions. As a pioneer in the LED industry, Nichia will continue to be dedicated to the development of safe, environmentally friendly, and comfortable driving.
No more compromises in car design with Nichia's LED
Nichia welcomes a new era of automotive design with multi-colored LEDs, combining Nichia's proprietary LED chip technology with its leading phosphor technology that has been advanced since the company's founding. Nichia's high-performance and compact automotive LEDs enable innovative designs for interior and exterior lighting applications, as well as provide natural and comfortable colors for the cabin with their high color rendering properties. In order to achieve both high safety and advanced design, Nichia will continue to pursue "high brightness, high efficiency, and small size", contributing to further car weight reduction and more comfortable lighting designs.
Nichia promises stable supply and customer satisfaction
Nichia is committed to stable supply and full client support. Nichia's technology is leading the world, as its core components are self-developed. In addition, Nichia has a disaster-response plant strategy to minimize any impact on deliveries. Nichia's valued partners are also supported by professional teams and technical centers specializing in automotive LEDs. Products are carefully quality-controlled through a process established in compliance with various automotive audit standards. Nichia ensures reliable supply and high levels of customer satisfaction, offering secure automotive LEDs.
Next-generation automotive lighting―µPLS
Nichia's LEDs go beyond just illumination as they can help guide people. Powered by µPLS, the next-generation digital automotive light source, the headlights prevent blinding oncoming traffic and pedestrians by adjusting the light in units as fine as 16,000 pixels. Turning off lights as needed ensures maximum illuminating coverage at all times, supporting safer and more comfortable driving than ever before. The road projection surface by µPLS also serves to inform and warn surrounding cars and people. Nichia will continue pursuing not only the high brightness and power consumption of LEDs, but also the features that light can produce.
