- Proven, trustworthy optical engineering based on color tuning techniques and light sourcing technology cultivated through many years of producing bulbs for the automotive industry.
- A rapid optical design process that makes use of a high-grade optical design simulation software suite, completely integrated with machine CAD software to reduce the amount of testing required, shorten development time, and reduce cost.
- A complete solution based on the product concepts (optical and module images) of our customers - light source selection; color tuning; optical component design (light pipes, light guides etc); mechanism, electrical circuitry, and circuit board design for modules; testing; mass production – Oshino does it all.
- Assembly of components such as light sources, circuit boards, light pipes, and harnesses in to modules for delivery.
The safety and assurance offered by Oshino’s interior and exterior vehicle lighting springs from a variety of light source technologies. Oshino draws on light source and color tuning technologies cultivated through the development of sub-miniature lamps for the vehicle market, creating a wide range of optical components for vehicle interiors that support safe, comfortable driving.

Door handle with illumination
External door handle illumination used in the major brand cars. Careful optical simulation and innovative light pipe design highlight the position of the door handle at night. Compact design allowed the combination of two small LED light sources and light pipes into a unit small enough to within the door interior, lighting the hollow beneath the door handle from both left and right.

Vehicle Engine Start / Stop Button
A start / stop button used in the major brand cars. Oshino used precision devices for accurate measurement of optical parameters, combined with light pipes equipped with uniquely shaped lenses to provide the same degree of illumination to each letter in the START and STOP logos.
-
EL illumination for Shift Levers
Indicators used in the shift level position indicators of the major brand car. Oshino collaborated with an electro-luminescent sheeting manufacturer to design this component, which had to meet strict vehicle standards as well as fit into the limited space available for both the optics and the inverter.
-
Optical hook-switch for telephone equipment
An optical switch used in telephone equipment from the major electronics manufacturer. Traditional telephones use a mechanical switch to terminate a call when the user places the receiver in the telephone cradle. To replace this system, Oshino designed an optical switch consisting of a light source and a receiver, which it now builds, assembles, and delivers to the customer.
