BATUR
Batur reveals pioneering technology by presenting greeting animations cast from the portal.
Crafted to cast an ethereal ‘radiance via incised crystal’ impression upon the thoroughfare beneath
Pioneering automotive application employing digital light processing to engender terrestrial animated luminescence upon ingress to an automobile
Light artwork, the subsequent stride in Bentley’s stylistic lexicon, debuted on the EXP100 GT in 2019
Three emitters’ chromatic light is refracted through ten lenses and a powerful Digital Micromirror Device to generate the animation.
415,800 minuscule reflectors, each measuring one-fifth the diameter of a human filament, project the animated luminary ensemble.
The DMDTM occupies less than 8mm2, and the entire luminous artwork mechanism slightly exceeds the girth of two AA batteries.
Mulliner empowers patrons to devise personalized animations with hues harmonizing their vehicle collaboratively.
On March 14th, 2024, the new Bentley Batur, crafted by Mulliner, introduces innovative technology projecting visual sequences at entry.
For a century, Bentley Motors has furnished clientele with peerless opulent vehicles fashioned in metal, timber, and hide. Gazing towards the horizon, light emerges as the fourth substance that will assume a pivotal role in Bentley’s aesthetic vocabulary, initially showcased by the 2019 concept vehicle EXP100 GT with its luminous interior grille.
Batur introduces a preview of luminous artistry and its potential for deluxe digital customization with cutting-edge Digital Light Processing (DLP).
The revolutionary projection technology allows customers to customize their vehicle’s salutation animation, marking the first step toward digital customisation.
This marks the premier automotive implementation employing DLP technology, also found in advanced headlamps and heads-up display systems, to greet occupants to a vehicle. This projection mechanism utilizes three colored light sources and five lenses, projecting through prisms onto a sophisticated DMDTM. Subsequently, five additional lenses concentrate the luminous signal, projecting the animation onto the ground when the doors are open..
The DMDTM device, a small silicone chip with 415,800 micro reflectors made of aluminum, generates dynamic images by oscillating.
The image forms by sculpting light from chromatic sources and lenses, striking reflectors in the ‘on’ state. ‘Off’ reflectors redirect light. The light exiting the DMDTM chip traverses five further lenses and converges upon the floor.
This new function is the next step in Bentley Mulliner’s journey to innovate and push technology to give customers a more personalized luxury experience.
