BOE's LC smart light curtain empowers Zeekr 009 to create a milestone in intelligent dimming for passenger cars

On April 19, 2024, Zeekr 009 Guanghui was officially launched. As the first four-seat ultra-luxury flagship MPV launched by Zeekr, in addition to being equipped with BOE's 8-inch rear control screen assembly, it also became the world's first mass-produced new energy vehicle equipped with BOE's LC smart light curtain. As one of the biggest highlights of the car, its technical advantages such as second-level response, natural gray-black, privacy anti-glare, heat insulation protection and safe low voltage further enhance the ultra-luxury user experience of Zeekr 009 Guanghui. Relying on leading sensing technology, BOE's LC smart light curtain deeply empowers the field of smart cockpits and creates a new milestone in the intelligent upgrade of new energy vehicles.

The LC smart light curtain adopts BOE's dye liquid crystal dimming technology. The rear side windows and rear corner windows of the four-seat ultra-luxury flagship Zeekr 009 Glory released this time are all wrapped by BOE's LC smart light curtain, allowing the glass that accounts for nearly 40% of the body surface area to adjust the light according to user needs, and can achieve 10 levels of brightness and darkness adjustment. It only takes 1.5 seconds to adjust from the brightest to the darkest. It can support a wide temperature adjustment from -20℃ to 85℃. The higher the temperature, the faster the adjustment speed. It is leading in the dimming technology of the same industry. Compared with the white, blue and other colors of other dimming technologies, BOE LC smart light curtain presents a natural gray-black color, which is not only consistent with the gray glass on the car, but can also present pure black at the darkest time. At the same time, it solves the problem of center diffusion of traditional dimming technology and has higher uniformity. In terms of privacy and anti-glare, BOE LC smart light curtain has the advantage of one-way transmittance, which can protect the privacy in the car to the greatest extent. Through precise adjustment of different gray levels, it can avoid damage to passengers' eyes caused by direct strong light or building reflections and prevent glare.

In terms of heat insulation and protection, BOE LC smart light curtain can block 99.9% of ultraviolet rays, 99.5% of visible light in the darkest state, and 90% of sunlight shielding rate. Compared with the 110V voltage of other dimming technologies, BOE LC smart light curtain uses 12V safe low voltage, which not only has lower power consumption but is also safer.

LC smart light curtain is an innovative project incubated by BOE's sensing business. At present, BOE has more than 150 patents in the field of smart windows. In 2023, BOE will take the lead in formulating and issuing national standards and vehicle-mounted group standards for smart window dye liquid crystal dimming glass, providing technical standards for the popularization of smart windows in building curtain walls, smart cars, rail trains and other fields.

The BOE LC smart light curtain empowering Zeekr 009 is a milestone for BOE's sensing business in the field of in-vehicle dimming, and is expected to become the ultimate application solution for many in-vehicle dimming windows. In the future, BOE will continue to improve the technical performance of light curtains, continue to promote product and technological innovation in the field of smart cars, actively explore more application scenarios for light curtains, and accelerate the empowerment of automotive partners with the concept of "Powered by BOE", creating a more immersive experience for users and jointly creating a new smart travel ecosystem.
