LIPPSTADT, GERMANY -- Hella will showcase a broad spectrum of new electronic, sensor and automotive lighting technologies at the Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA) in Germany (Sept. 15-25). Hella's exhibit, located at Booth 8.0/D05, will feature a new LED headlamp with dynamic LED cornering lights; an electronic parking-assistant system; a concealed rain-and-light sensor; inductive-switching interior lamps, and rear- lighting technologies such as an LED light curtain and 3D light guides.

Optical and lighting innovations being introduced by Hella at the IAA include a prototype LED headlamp with a dynamic cornering light without mechanical components. The lamp's LEDs are electronically triggered and scatter light with the aid of specially designed Cartoval plastic lenses.

The new LED headlamps being developed by Hella and Stanley are expected to provide light output equal to Xenon headlamps and will be available by 2008.
