KOITO MANUFACTURING CO., LTD. (“KOITO”) (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President:
Masahiro Otake) announces that it has developed and started mass-producing the world’s first
single-LED, bi-functional projector headlamp capable of switching the high (driving) beam and
low (passing) beam on a single LED.
Featuring such advantages as quick turn-on, very visible white glow, long-life, and low power
consumption, LED headlamps are an extremely safe and environmentally-friendly light source.
To enable this lamp technology to be used in an expanded variety of motor vehicles, KOITO has
developed a single-LED, bi-functional projector (LED unit).
So far, the high beam and low beam functions of LED headlamps have been realized using
separate LED units (i.e., two LED units). Performing the two functions with a single LED, our
newly-developed product presents revolutionized optical systems, incorporating the high beam
and low beam functions in a much compacter single LED unit.
