Glasses in cars
Technical glass shapes the car of the future
Whether reliable airbag igniters, daylight-bright laser lights, various sensors or elegant-looking, networked vehicle interiors: numerous automotive applications rely on the unique properties of technical glass. Schott offers a wide range of solutions that are suitable for applications in the automotive sector.
The new structuring portfolio of technical glass called Flexinity allows almost unlimited design freedom with the lowest tolerances. This enables, for example, the production of perforated glass wafers that are used for further processing in pressure sensors for oil or air. The broad portfolio of filter glasses also paves the way for new assistance systems in cars. This includes components for autonomous driving, head-up displays, environmental cameras, night vision or lidar laser systems for obstacle and traffic sign recognition.
Glass can also increase safety in cars. For example, Schott is a supplier of hermetic glass-to-metal feedthroughs for airbag igniters and belt tensioners. These feedthroughs are manufactured using the pressure glass process, in which metal, glass and connecting pins are firmly bonded together by compressive stress due to their different expansion properties during cooling. Today, a large part of the automotive industry relies on this reliable combination.
Glass is also used as ambient lighting, which can be integrated into the smallest spaces, such as door openers or center consoles, thanks to highly flexible glass fibers. The combination of spot and contour lighting, MultiLight, manages with just one light source and therefore enables lower costs and reduced maintenance. am
