In recent years, more and more people have fallen in love with cycling. Whether it is lingering in the natural beauty, or freely shuttling in the “steel jungle”, the feeling of being unrestrained and walking against the wind has attracted many young people who are pursuing the quality of life to “get on the bus”. Some explore alone by bicycle, and some travel with friends. Cycling in the new era, in addition to commuting and fitness competitions, also adds “leisure” and “social” functions. In order to provide a safer, more interesting and personalized riding experience, Maijin Technology, the “leader” of the domestic smart cycling track, has created the world’s first smart expression riding tail light L308. This tail light is made of ROHM PLEXIGLAS® anti-impact molded plastic lens, which not only protects the safety of traffic participants, but also presents a wealth of fun, and at the same time satisfies the diverse self-expression demands of cyclists.
Guarding safety, expressing emotions
One of the basic functions of riding taillights is to warn the rear vehicles and pedestrians, and Maijin L308 smart taillights have achieved the ultimate in this respect. L308 is a typical “small body, big energy”: the size is only 35*35*26mm, the size of the front is similar to that of an ordinary watch dial; The integrated lens ensures the highest light efficiency. ROHM’s star PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) material has a light transmittance of up to 92%, allowing light to pass through unimpeded.
L308 provides constant light, flashing, and breathing modes, and can finely adjust the brightness and frequency. When braking in an emergency, the taillights can quickly sense and enter the high-brightness “strobe” mode. The most surprising thing is that users can make their own emoticons or text, and choose single picture, animation and barrage mode at will, so as to realize communication and interaction with the car or pedestrian behind. Smart expressions provide individual riders with the option to express their personality and attitude, and also provide a unified identification pattern for group riding.
Drop-resistant and anti-fouling, lasting as new
As an outdoor sports equipment, Maijin L308, in addition to stunning the audience for the first time, has to continue to work hard to protect the safety of cyclists every time they travel. In short, it is to withstand wind and sun, withstand mud splashes, and be easy to wipe and clean.
“In the beginning, we chose a material that is resistant to falling and impact for the lens,” said Zheng Rugong, director of the Mold Department of Maijin Technology. The process of finding the best material for the L308 lens was full of twists and turns. “But it is easy to throw mud when riding. After repeated wiping, scratches began to appear on the surface of the taillight. In order to solve the problem of scratch resistance, we chose a common specification PMMA material, but it is easy to break. Finally, we found ROHM’s PLEXIGLAS® impact-resistant specification, A perfect match for the multiple requirements of this product.”
ROHM’s PLEXIGLAS® impact-resistant specification has excellent light transmission, scratch resistance, impact and drop resistance, and high weather resistance to ensure that the L308 lens will remain as bright as new after long-term use.
“For a long time, PLEXIGLAS® molding compounds have been successfully used in many industries such as automobiles, lighting, home furnishing and household appliances,” said Liu Guomin, General Manager of ROHM Molding Compounds Business Asia. We will create innovative products in the field of mobile equipment. With our high-quality PMMA product portfolio and professional R&D and application support team, we will continue to help local customers develop more innovative applications with high added value, and help the consumption upgrade in the Chinese market.”
