The new Q6 e-tron is the very first Audi model with second-generation digital OLEDs.

ROCHESTER, N.Y., July 2, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — OLEDWorks, the leading global manufacturer of automotive qualified organic light emitting diode (OLED) technology, announced today that it is the official supplier of the digital OLED rear lighting panels in the new Audi Q6 e-tron. The Q6 e-tron features second-generation digital OLED panels, produced under the Atala brand by OLEDWorks, which marks a tenfold expansion from six to 60 high-contrast segments per panel since the first generation.

State-of-the-art Atala OLED technology not only offers enhanced options for vehicle personalization, but also contributes to improved communication for the safety of all road users.

Audi Q6 e-tron drivers enjoy the freedom to individualize their cars with a choice of up to eight digital light signatures (depending on the equipment) for the rear digital OLED 2.0 lights. The six digital rear OLED panels in the Q6 e-tron have a total of 360 individually addressable, software-controlled segments that offer exceptional communication capability. The segments function to convey the liveliness and unique personality of the car, with a new image generated every ten milliseconds via Audi’s specially developed algorithm.

“The exciting launch of the first Audi model with second-generation OLED rear lights demonstrates the quality of Atala technology and the unwavering interest in dynamic, digital automotive lighting,” said OLEDWorks CEO David DeJoy. “Audi has been a dedicated ally throughout the evolution of Atala and the launching of the first-generation digital OLEDs in the Audi A8 and Q8. We champion their commitment to providing customers with premier personalization options and advanced safety communication lighting.”

Audi’s digital OLED 2.0 rear lights augment safety functionality and support Audi’s design for new communication methods suitable for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) applications. Audi’s proximity indication function is expanded in the Q6 e-tron with a communication light that is integrated with the digital OLED 2.0 rear lights. Relying on swarm data, the communication light is generated automatically, without the need for a special user activation. It has a distinct static rear light signature with integrated warning symbols to alert road users to accidents and other hazardous road situations. The digital rear OLED 2.0 lights also activate the communication light with warning symbols for hazard lights, emergency brake lights, emergency assist and emergency calls (eCall), rear-end collision alert signals (RECAS), and roadside assistance (bCall).

To further enhance safety, Audi designed the Q6 e-tron communication light to include a distinct signature that warns rear-approaching road users that occupants are planning to exit the vehicle. This adds an extra dimension to exit warning functionality that previously only informed occupants, but now extends to other motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists. The communication light also includes a recognizable light signature to indicate park assist status in automated parking mode, increasing safety by communicating when the car is safe to approach.

“The Audi Q6 e-tron offers truly unique aesthetics with the world’s first active digital light signature that combines our design of the light’s shape and its entire movement,” shared Dr. Werner Thomas, Project Manager OLED-Lighting at AUDI AG. “This new light design underlines the core identity of the Audi brand, and we are excited to usher in a new era of light design with the second generation of digital OLED technology in the Q6 e-tron.”

State-of-the-art Atala OLED technology not only offers enhanced options for vehicle personalization, but also contributes to improved communication for the safety of all road users. The Q6 e-tron is a shining example of Audi’s progressive leadership in lighting design—with aesthetics that not only tap into the power of emotion, but also expand the range of superior functional and safety features available to their customers.

Behavioral intelligence leader addresses the knowing-doing problem that leaves most assessment investments unrealized

AUSTIN, Texas, April 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Simpli5, the behavioral intelligence platform that powers team effectiveness at organizations including LinkedIn, Kaiser Permanente, and Notion, today announced a significant expansion of its platform aimed at solving one of the most persistent challenges in enterprise learning and development: the knowing-doing gap.

While behavioral assessments have proliferated across the Fortune 500, the vast majority of users never return to their insights after initial onboarding — leaving significant organizational investment unrealized. The upcoming Simpli5 release is engineered specifically to close that gap, translating one-time self-awareness into an ongoing team practice embedded in the flow of daily work.

“Self-awareness that lives in a report is just data. Self-awareness that lives in your daily relationships is transformation,” said Karen Wright Gordon, Founder and CEO of Simpli5. “We built this because we knew the highest-value moments in our platform were sitting unused for too many users. These features are about closing that gap without adding friction.”

The expansion introduces a suite of interconnected capabilities designed to keep behavioral insights present in the flow of daily work — accessible at the moments that matter most, and creating reinforcing loops that grow in value as organizational adoption scales.

Unlike point-in-time assessments, Simpli5 is engineered to compound in value over time. Each connection made, each insight applied, and each colleague activated increases the network intelligence available to every user on the platform. The upcoming release is designed to accelerate that compounding effect.

Full feature details and availability will be announced in the coming weeks.

About Simpli5

Simpli5 powered by 5 Dynamics is a behavioral intelligence platform built on the science of five natural work energy phases: Explore, Excite, Examine, Execute, and Evaluate. Unlike static assessment tools, Simpli5 is a living team intelligence platform that deepens in value as adoption scales across an organization. Its AI coaching product, SenSai, delivers personalized behavioral insights at the moment of need.
