Infiniti Q30 Interior Illumination
POL has developed the interior lighting for the Infiniti Q30 range of vehicles, including the cup-holder illumination, dash-board accent illumination and foot-well interior lights.
Polymer Optics Automotive Limited (POAL) was set up to concentrate its expertise in optical product design, development, tooling and mass manufacture in the automotive market, supporting OEMs and 1st and 2nd Tier suppliers.
This allows POAL to specifically resource and support the automotive industry, but also draws on POL’s many years of product and process development and innovative approach. This has resulted in many patented techniques developed for automotive applications.
POAL’s wide expertise in product design, assembly and manufacture enables us to apply advance Design for Manufacture (DFM) techniques to build in product reliability and dramatically reduce costs in tooling and product.
On many projects, POAL is able to reduce component counts in assemblies, speed assembly times and remove complex tooling features, while improving the optical efficiency and overall illumination performance of the system.
POAL fully manages and supports the mass manufacture of automotive lighting products, together with the associated surrounding parts of the assembly, through carefully selected localised supply-chains.
These supply chains are built and managed by POAL to provide a wide range of process capabilities to supply innovative lighting products, with TS approved manufacturing partners.
This gives us very wide flexibility in the technologies we employ in our product designs.
Take a look at our work in the automotive sector.
POL has developed the interior lighting for the Infiniti Q30 range of vehicles, including the cup-holder illumination, dash-board accent illumination and foot-well interior lights.
POL has developed the interior illumination system for the 2014 Nissan Qashqai which draws on POL’s wide polymer optical product development experience to introduce some novel product features.
POL Automotive was consulted to work on the Nissan Juke dashboard LCD screen. We were able to not only simplify the design of the reflector, but also reduce light-bleed and the improve contrast of the light at the same time.
Reducing the cost of production for the lifetime of a product is part of what we do in every project.
After being established on 7th July 1998, we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Polymer Optics on the same date this year.
