This is a next-generation front panel concept that will replace the conventional radiator grille with electrification. Since engine cooling will no longer be necessary with the shift to electric power, this product is proposed to enhance the design of each brand. A decorative panel developed by Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd. was used for the outer lens. This panel has optical properties that allow light to pass through only when necessary, while maintaining the design.

2021 JSAE Automotive Engineering Exposition HD Lighting
This is a technology to control a light beam separated into thousands of pixels individually. It enables shielding the light to the minimum extent necessary in the range of oncoming and preceding vehicles. It can prevent the dazzling of oncoming and other vehicles while maintaining the same amount of light as with conventional high beams. By enabling projection on the road surface, the system can support driving assistance through lane guidance and navigation functions.
