50 Years of Automotive Innovation

September 17, 2024, 1:30 PM | Von Neil Bohm

Before four years of smaller American automobilization, the automatic mirror mirror – a technology, the light sensors that are free of lights and that work from a billion-dollar industry. Now Gentex celebrates its 50-year-old best friend.

The best thing is that the motorist Gentex provides automatic mirror detection, a safety function for the sensor, the chemical and algorithmic combinations, a gefährliche blend by recognizing and obstructing the mirror. The product is a story story that contains the Verkaufszahlen. By 2023, 50 million automatically generated mirror and car repairers will have appeared on the market.


Mittlerweile hat der Zulieferer are Kompetenzen nicht nur in der Automobilindustrie, sononder in der Luft- und Raumfahrt, in Brandschutz und in der Medizintechnik grim ausgebaut. Ensure that the external pioneers at the Entwicklung of the rückwärtigen are gelist, blickt the Unternehmen that are standard and their competition in the Bereichen Microelektronik, Softwareentwicklung, Displays, Glass Manufacturing – and for all sensorik.


When Gentex automatically turns on a mirror as a strategic electronic module – a few of the existing, existing, platform-based elements, it is very light, which allows the electronic functions to be integrated in the future. Over the years, the external functions have been integrated into one of the mirror, including Blend protection, cameras, microphones, displays, telematics components, transaction modules, car-to-home automation, security components, ADAS functions and bare other driver observation systems. That was probably not to know: Gentex is a sensory specialist at its core. In the next phase of using products with your products.

The Smoke Detector with Dual Sensor – the first of Gentex Corporation's innovations

The best sensor technology of Gentex is based on the annual operation of fire protection. Gentex has the well-known photoelectric smoke detector with dual sensor, a device that causes an alarm by a sudden warning, where the brand name is very well known (Image 1). Heute sind Millionen von Rauchmeldern und Signalgebern von Gentex in Krankenhäusern, Hotels, Bürogebäuden und Others öffentlichen Gebäuden auf der ganzen Welt installiert.


Gentex works with these sensor sensors in the automotive sector. If the robot works with robotaxi repairers, there is a first smoke detector on the market that knows the smoke and the fumes in the vehicle. This system offers a photoelectric sensor in the air flow channels of the air flow, a constant air quality on the messenger. If there is a malfunction or a malfunction, the costs can be reduced, the cleaning will generate a sum of money that can extend the sale.

Light sensory

A bigger competition of Gentex is the light sensor. So come in the automatically activated mirrors that produce active light sensors (ambient light sensor, ALS), a mixture that is displayed by the hints, recognizes and recognizes. If the rear-view mirror contains two ALS components, it is all possible to produce more than 60 million own light sensors.

Gentex’s installation in the light sensor in 2004 when SmartBeam was installed, the industry’s lighting system automatically began to slow down. SmartBeam uses an advanced CMOS imager and robust algorithms to automate light output (Image 2The first war between the first generation, the CMOS technology in the built-in vehicle, was the development of the dynamic Fahrlichts and the fortschrittische Fahrerassistenzsysteme (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, ADAS).


Today the company is expanding its competence in the field of light sensors. There is a gentex intelligent security system for surgical and patient-oriented care, which is the medical personal experience, light-inspired where you are. When these devices are used, the own room and image processing systems are combined with powerful components, a light in the medical and medical world to optimize, control and lean.

Biometric recognition

Gentex has further developed its know-how in the field of biometrics. This technology is light, a security mechanism in integrating the physical attribute misses and analyzes, an identification and authentication of the data necessary to identify and/or modify the data. This system can enable the Sicherung and Verbesserung of Car-to-Home-Automation and for future transactions.

American and Sensory Hints Mirror Glass Machine Biometric Identification Invisible

If an infrared sensor and an iris scan camera appear, the invisible hint of the glass of the mirror mirrors can be placed. The mirror is the ideal integration position, which offers the possibility to look directly into the room. Darüber is one of the few positions for all vehicle platforms and ermöglicht die gemeinsame Nutzung other electronic components (Image 3).
