PIG (Phosphor in Glass) Revolutionizes Automotive Lighting: Shenzhen MZ Tech’s Phosphors Drive Mass Adoption

PIG (Phosphor in Glass) Revolutionizes Automotive Lighting: Shenzhen MZ Tech’s Phosphors Drive Mass Adoption

2025-11-22

Phosphor in Glass (PIG) has emerged as a transformative force in automotive lighting, redefining performance standards for headlights, taillights, interior ambient lighting, and in-vehicle displays. As electric vehicles (EVs) and smart mobility gain traction, the demand for durable, high-performance lighting solutions has soared—and PIG, paired with Shenzhen MZ Technology’s mass-produced YAG and β-Sialon phosphors, is emerging as the technology of choice for automakers worldwide.


Unlike traditional phosphor-in-silicone (PiS) packaging, PIG integrates phosphor materials directly into a glass substrate, eliminating the vulnerabilities of organic binders. A key enabler of its industrialization in automotive applications is the reliable supply of high-quality phosphors: Shenzhen MZ Tech’s YAG and β-Sialon phosphors have been successfully deployed in bulk, perfectly complementing PIG’s high-temperature processing requirements. YAG phosphors deliver exceptional brightness and thermal stability, withstanding PIG’s sintering process while maintaining efficient light conversion (excited by 450nm blue chips, emitting 530-560nm yellow light) . β-Sialon phosphors, meanwhile, offer precise red emission and superior chemical stability, enhancing color rendering and ensuring long-term performance consistency . Together, they form a synergistic material system that maximizes PIG’s optical and mechanical advantages.

In automotive lighting—PIG’s core application—this combination excels with unmatched thermal stability. It withstands extreme temperatures (-40℃ to 120℃) and long-term high-power operation, eliminating phosphor degradation and light decay issues plaguing PiS solutions.

 

Shenzhen MZ Tech’s phosphors maintain over 90% luminous intensity at 180℃ , ensuring PIG-based headlights and taillights retain consistent brightness and color accuracy for over 10,000 hours. For drivers, this translates to reliable visibility in all conditions, enhancing road safety.
Durability is another standout benefit. The glass matrix, paired with MZ Tech’s robust phosphors, provides superior resistance to moisture, UV radiation, and vibration—critical for automotive environments. This robustness extends lighting system lifespans by up to 50% compared to PiS alternatives, reducing maintenance costs and aligning with automakers’ sustainability goals.
Optically, the PIG-MZ phosphor integration sets new standards. YAG and β-Sialon phosphors enable narrower spectral bandwidths and tighter chromaticity control, supporting wider color gamuts and sharper beam patterns. Headlights achieve reduced glare and enhanced long-distance visibility, while interior lighting and in-vehicle displays deliver immersive, premium visual experiences—meeting modern consumers’ demands for smart, comfortable cabins.
Environmentally, the solution is fully lead-free and RoHS-compliant. Shenzhen MZ Tech’s eco-friendly phosphor formulations align with PIG’s recyclable glass substrate, supporting the automotive industry’s shift toward circular manufacturing and global green regulations.


As electrification and intelligence reshape the automotive sector, PIG’s versatility—amplified by MZ Tech’s mass-produced phosphors—shines. It adapts to miniaturized packaging, enabling sleeker vehicle designs and compact displays, while its high energy efficiency contributes to EV range optimization. Major automakers are already adopting this PIG-phosphor solution in their latest models, with industry analysts projecting 20%+ CAGR growth for automotive PIG through 2030.


Shenzhen MZ Tech’s bulk supply of YAG and β-Sialon phosphors has removed a key barrier to PIG’s widespread adoption, making it a viable, scalable alternative to traditional packaging. For automakers aiming to differentiate with safer, more durable, and visually stunning lighting, the PIG-MZ phosphor combination is the clear path forward—illuminating the future of smart, sustainable mobility.
