Energy-efficient LED solutions are important levers that greenhouse operators can use to save energy. Upgrading to LED lighting pays off, leading to significant efficiency enhancements and thus cost benefits. ams OSRAM (SIX: AMS), a global leader in intelligent sensors and emitters, has now launched its OSCONIQ® P 3737, a high-power LED equipped with state-of-the-art chip technology that offers industry-leading performance with an overall wall plug efficiency (WPE) of 83.2 % in Hyper Red, outstanding robustness and a long lifetime.
Optimum light intensity with lower energy costs: comparative savings with the OSCONIQ® P 3737
With the new OSCONIQ® P 3737 from ams OSRAM, energy costs in greenhouses can be significantly reduced without compromising on light output ratio (LOR). Thanks to the LED’s market-leading overall wall plug efficiency of 83.2 % in Hyper Red, manufacturers of horticultural luminaires can redesign their fixtures to achieve a higher photon flux of 6.13 µmol/s with lower energy consumption. This results in a significant increase in the photosynthesis rate (PS rate), maximizes crop yields, and shortens harvest cycles.
Here's a simple cost calculation: With its overall efficiency of 83.2 %, the new OSCONIQ® P 3737 Hyper Red can achieve 11 % energy savings, which is great progress compared to previous-generation LEDs with an overall efficiency of 74 %. With the same photon flux, this corresponds to € 11 per € 100 spent. For a medium-sized greenhouse with annual electricity costs of more than € 100,000, vegetable, flower, and other growers can save € 11,000 per year by installing the latest LED lighting technology.* In addition, higher photon flux levels have the potential to result in more biomass and shorter crop cycles. Tests have shown that the LED still delivers 90 % of its original light output even after 102,000 operating hours. This means that the OSCONIQ® P 3737 has the longest lifetime of all LEDs for horticultural fixtures.
*Depending on the energy costs and system parameters
The OSCONIQ® P 3737 is the perfect choice for use as a greenhouse top light, as interlighting between rows of plants or flowers, as sole-source lighting or as lighting in vertical farming applications. It is available in five colors: Hyper Red (660 nm), Red (640 nm), Deep Blue (450 nm), Far Red (730 nm) and Horti White, covering the broad spectrum of requirements in controlled horticulture.

OSP: Open System Protocol
Ambient lighting is becoming more and more important for car interior design with backlit trim and dynamic animations. In modern vehicles, it is mostly used to implement functions and seamlessly interact with Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs).
To deal with this complexity at a reasonable cost in the centralized system architectures of vehicles, automotive suppliers need a reliable, flexible, and easy-to-implement communication backbone and system architecture.
For this purpose, ams OSRAM has developed its so-called Open System Protocol (OSP). This groundbreaking protocol is open to everybody and free of any license fees. It is based on a mas-ter-slave architecture, allowing users to control up to 1,000 devices individually in a daisy chain topology. The OSP ecosystem is an open protocol platform which can be used by anybody with-out any limitation. This means no licenses and full access to protocol descriptions. Partners can participate in the network, implement the protocol in their own devices and differentiate themselves from competitors by adding their own new features. ams OSRAM has already developed its two first products ready for the OSP ecosystem: OSIRE® E3731i, the intelligent RGB module, and the AS1163 standalone intelligent driver (SAID).
OSIRE® E3731i: Top-notch RGB LEDs for modern ambient lighting
The OSIRE® product family offers individually addressable LED chips for maximum flexibility in terms of color point, driver selection and interconnection in interior ambient lighting. Thanks to their low profile, these products are ideally suited for coupling into thin lightguides, thus enabling ultra-compact designs. At the Automotive Engineering Exposition 2024, ams OSRAM will present a dy-namic illumination demo with hundreds of intelligent OSIRE® E3731i RGB LEDs.
AS1163 SAID: High-efficiency LED driver ICs
The AS1163 SAID (Stand-Alone Intelligent Driver) is a mixed-signal IC optimized for dynamic light-ing applications. Mainly designed to operate 3 RGB LEDs, this state-of-the-art SAID comes with 9 separate LED drivers. Each driver features an independent PWM dynamic range of up to 16 bits. Just like the OSIRE® E3731i, the AS1163 supports the OSP bus (Open System Protocol) for data communication. Since these two groundbreaking products from ams OSRAM are fully compatible with each other, the AS1163 can also be operated in a daisy-chain configuration, even in combina-tion with OSIRE® E3731i units. In addition, the AS1163 supports the parallel operation of up to 8 OSP daisy chains. Complex dynamic lighting scenarios can thus be implemented in an even more flexible and cost-efficient way.
To ensure safe LED operation, the AS1163 enables current and voltage measurements to be per-formed on the individual LEDs and can be optionally used as an I²C gateway. For this purpose, I²C ICs (I²C sensors, I²C actuators and I²C memories) can be connected to the SAID and addressed via the OSP bus.
LiDAR: Light Detection and Ranging
ams OSRAM implements highly innovative technology for wavelength stability over a temperature range on its Edge-Emitting Laser diodes (EELs). This technology enables LiDAR manufactures to apply a much narrower bandpass filter on the RX side to dramatically improve the signal-to-noise ratio.
Simulations performed by ams OSRAM and market feedback suggest that this can result in up to a ~40% range increase thanks to a higher Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). The demonstrator of ams OSRAM will show how stable it is in comparison to conventional technology.
AS8579: The trailblazing capacitive sensor from ams OSRAM
The future is vehicles with autonomous driving ability, for which several driver monitoring features are necessary. One typical application for autonomous driving is the detection of human hands on the steering wheel. The AS8579 capacitive sensor from ams OSRAM is based on a novel capaci-tive measurement technology that enables the separation of the resistive and capacitive parts (amount/share/proportion) of the impedance measured over the sensor element. Even when wear-ing gloves or in humid conditions, this advanced technology more reliably detects the presence of the driver’s hands than is possible with the charge-discharge method of capacitive sensing in use in vehicles today. This means that the AS8579 helps automotive manufacturers improve the safety of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), while also reducing the cost of the Hands-on Detection System (HoD): the AS8579 can sense the impedance of the existing steering wheel’s heater element.
ams OSRAM (SIX: AMS), a global player in intelligent sensors and emitters, and DOMINANT Opto Technologies, a leading Malaysian manufacturer of automotive LED solutions, have unveiled a collaborative partnership aimed at integrating ams OSRAM’s Open System Protocol (OSP) into DOMINANT Opto Technologies’ upcoming generation of intelligent RGB LEDs tailored for automotive ambient lighting.

Anita Wenzl, Senior Product Marketing Manager of ams OSRAM, emphasizes: ”ams OSRAM was the first LED manufacturer to provide a link to the measurement data of each individual LED through a code printed onto the LED itself. Our DMC innovation supports manufacturers in increasing their production throughput. Furthermore, it reduces their need to invest in cost-intensive optical test equipment and the technical skills required to operate it.“
LED+: Greater accuracy through unique data adds precious value to LEDs
With the introduction of DMC, ams OSRAM increases the value of its automotive LEDs as conclusive data effectively support digitalized and automated factory processes. DMC is now available in three automotive LEDs:
- The OSIRE® E5515 is an RGB ‘sidelooker’ LED designed for modern ambient lighting in the vehicle interior. Supplied in a white low-profile, surface-mount package, the OSIRE® E5515 is ideally suited for coupling into thin light guides. In addition, the housing material´s temperature stability has been optimized for improved compatibility with processes based on IMSE® (In-Mold Structural Electronics). The OSIRE® E5515 is available under the part number KRTB AELPS2.32.
- The OSIRE® E3323 is an RGB top surface-emitting LED for ambient lighting applications in the vehicle interior. With dimensions as small as 3.3 mm x 2.3 mm x 0.7 mm, the OSIRE® E3323 is the smallest of its kind in the OSIRE® family – for even more flexible designs than is currently possible with a delta or inline RGB chip configuration. The OSIRE® E3323 products can be ordered under the part numbers KRTB DWLM31.32 and KRTB DWLM32.32.
The DMC will be imprinted on every manufactured LED and manufacturers are free to choose whether to use the data or not. This value-adding feature is likely to be rolled out to other OSIRE® family members in the future.
