Magna Electronics and Rohinni Corporation of the United States have established a joint venture, Magna Rohinni Automotive, to produce ultra-thin Micro LED lighting solutions.
The joint venture will be controlled by Magna, combining Magna's strong electronics manufacturing and Rohinni's lighting technology in the mobile industry. The company will be located in Holly, Michigan, USA.
Rohinni's thin film Micro and Mini LEDs can be used in almost any application, creating new possibilities for design and product differentiation. In addition, the company has developed a technology that places Micro LEDs on the substrate surface to support high-volume production.
Rohinni CEO Matthew Gerber said, "Magna brings global partnerships and influence to this partnership, as well as years of automotive market and application experience."
Magna also made a minority equity investment in Rohinni based on Rohinni's Micro and Mini LED technology in other industries, applications and products.
"The joint venture with Rohinni brings unprecedented light, thin and flexible lighting technology," said Swamy Kotagiri, CTO of Magna.
"Current automakers, new mobile companies, other lighting suppliers, and Magna's own product group will all benefit from this collaboration."
