DRIVING MOBILITYMerck Intelligent Concept Car (MICC) and our Automotive Platform

The connected carMore than 50% of the world population will be “digital natives” in 10 years. Digitally connected self-driving cars will be the next big thing.

Autonomous drivingFocus on quality time: people will be continuously online – working, surfing, playing and shopping.

Car sharingEmphasis on usership rather than ownership; the car will lose its function as a status symbol.

Seamless transitionNo more waiting times! Digital connectivity helps manage traffic flow and thus easy and convenient door-to-door mobility.

UrbanizationThis phenomenon will fundamentally change individual mobility. It is estimated that 6.5 billion people will live in cities in 2050.

It was a motorized three-wheeler that really got the history of the auto-mobile rolling – in Mannheim, Germany, in August 1888. And it was with a telegram that read: “Drive to Pforzheim successful – we have arrived at Grandma’s.”

The recipient was Carl Benz, inventor of the three-wheeled motor car, and the telegram was sent by his wife Bertha. Bertha Benz had secretly driven off early in the morning without her husband’s knowledge in a three-wheeled Benz Patent Motor Car No. 3. She drove more than 100 kilometers to Pforzheim, where her mother lived. On board were their 13- and 15-year-old sons, who sometimes had to get out and push the vehicle up steep inclines.

The slow-moving, snuffling motor car successfully completed the adventure, providing exactly the demonstration of reliability that Bertha Benz had intended. Her first long-distance drive in automotive history persuaded hesitant customers of this radical new – and completely horseless – form of mobility on the roads.

Roughly 130 years later, Germany’s automotive industry is a world leader. We have, however, arrived at an epoch of transition in which this industry must reinvent itself – almost as in the pioneering days of Bertha Benz.

But what does a chemical company like Merck have to do with mobility? The answer is: surprisingly a great deal! Merck has long been supplying the automo-tive industry with a wide array of high-tech products.

We are driven by curiosity! We search for new ideas that, in turn, will open up completely new technical possibilities. Our research efforts are considerable, and this combination of curiosity and scientific research has always been a decisive driver behind the success of Merck. The history of liquid crystals used in displays, whose development we have pushed from the start, is just one example.

Our Merck Intelligent Concept Car (MICC) demonstrates what our Performance Materials can do as well as the ideas we are working on together with our part-ners. It vividly shows which materials from Merck could be used in a car of the future, in which places, and what functions they offer.

With all of the euphoria about these fascinating visions of the future, however, one thing should be borne in mind: It is enormously time-consuming to develop new high-tech materials that have to maintain their intelligent function in a car over many years. More than anything, those of us on the chemical side need to have a great deal of stamina. This is why it is important for us to work together closely with our customers and partners. Developing materials of this kind would not be possible without intensive sharing of information and contacts.

With this, I hope you see this brochure as a basis for inspiration.

CHANGEDRIVES USCars are speeding ahead towards a digital future. What was science fiction yesterday is reality today. And it’s clear that there will be a lot of Merck inside the car of tomorrow.

On a winter’s day in 1895, Walter Arnold floors the ac-celerator of his motor car and rattles through the English vil-lage of Paddock Wood. Arnold has to pay a price for his thrill for speed; he is the first driver in the world to get a speeding ticket. He had clocked up a whole 13 kilometers per hour on his speedometer, although only about three kilometers per hour were allowed.

Although legally and technically speaking, maximum speed limits have increased exponentially since the pioneering days of the automobile, in our present-day megacities it’s scarcely possible to move faster today than it was then. Bumper-to-bumper traffic congestion is a daily occurrence on our roads. Fine dust pollution causes breathing problems, and the automobile has long been proclaimed a climate killer. But a lot is happening. ‟Urbanization, electrically powered vehicles and digitalization will fundamentally change individual mobility,” says Harry Wagner, Professor for Auto-motive and Mobility Management at the Technical University of In-golstadt in Germany. Increasingly stringent global environmental regulations make it clear that the future lies in new drive tech-nologies. However, it will most likely be decades before electric vehicles dominate the roads, for instance.

Rolling computers

Digital change is happening at a much faster pace. Today’s cars are already rolling computers. In the future, they will even com-

municate with other vehicles and traffic control systems to a far greater extent. Experts agree that autonomous driving will be the next big thing. Digital connec-tivity makes it possible to smartly manage the traffic flow, possibly even without traffic lights. And this is likely to increase safety – owing to fewer accidents. But what do people do in self-driving cars? They’ll be online – work-ing, phoning, surfing, playing and shopping. An enormous flood of data on four wheels, which can be used to make money. And that’s probably the main reason why Internet companies are sudden-ly interested in the car-making business. Carmakers, on the other hand, will develop into mo-bility providers. ‟The emotional significance of owning a car will decrease; car sharing is on the advance. Apps will increasing-ly steer how we use intermod-al travel – combining different modes of transport – to get from A to B quickly and efficiently,” forecasts Wagner.

Innovative materials and technologies

Nobody knows exactly what the car of the future will look like. That makes it all the more ex-citing – for Merck as well. ‟Our Performance Materials business sector is developing many inno-vative materials and technologies with which we can help shape the future of the automobile,” says Nadine Langguth. She heads Merck’s Automotive Platform, which focuses on the innovation fields of automobility. With the ‟Displaying Futures” initiative, among other things, the company

seeks direct exchange with manu-facturers, suppliers and experts from various relevant disciplines. ‟We want to identify and under-stand the diversity of trends and requirements at an early stage in order to even better leverage our opportunities going forward as a development partner and mate-rials supplier,” states Langguth. Merck has long been supplying the automotive industry with a wide range of products. These in-clude effect pigments for coating applications, liquid crystal mix-tures for displays and semicon-ductor materials for microchips.

Urbanization, electrically powered vehicles and digi talization will fundamentally change indi vi d ual mobility.”

Organic light-emitting diodes are opening up completely new design options for automotive light-ing.”

Own concept car

With its ‟Intelligent Concept Car,” Merck is showcasing the materials it manufactures for applications in the car of the future. For example, liquid crystals make high-resolu-tion automotive displays with high thermal stability and an extremely long lifetime possible.

The broad color spectrum produc-es an exceptionally high image quality. OLED (organic light-emit-ting diode) materials are used both in displays and lighting, and offer new design possibilities with their extremely thin structure. OLED displays provide exceptionally high contrast, brilliant colors and razor-sharp images from every angle, and can even be transpar-ent. Free-form displays with liquid crystal or OLED technology can be

seamlessly incorporated into var-ious spaces such as dashboards, doors and seats. Very thin glass or even plastic can be used for them. The first prototypes for cars al-ready exist. The materials used to produce highly reliable and pow-erful microchips and sensors are important for self-driving cars, for example. Laser direct structuring is used to directly mount electron-ic circuits onto plastic components or powder-coated parts. However, Merck wants to set new standards not only in car interiors. Liquid crystal windows for switchable sunroofs in cars allow continuous-ly variable switching from dark to light and vice versa in just sec-onds. When built into sunroofs or dashboards, printable photovoltaic cells can help to power cars in an eco-friendly way.

The end of wireless dead zones

In a digitalized world, it is becom-ing increasingly important to have powerful Internet access also in cars. Smart satellite antennas with Merck expertise inside make this possible. Through a thin functional liquid crystal layer, the antenna beam can be steered electronical-ly in different directions instead of mechanical positioning to the satellite as with conventional technologies. Special software ensures reliable contact to the satellite – making wireless dead

zones a thing of the past. ‟Liquid crystal antennas have the poten-tial to transform cars into fully networked mobile communica-tions systems. And in view of the rapidly growing data volumes, we can score with our experience in this promising field of technology,” says Owain Parri, marketing man-ager within the Display Materials business unit. The technology has been developed together with the Technical University of Darmstadt. Kymeta, a U.S. start-up, is plan-ning to launch the first smart an-tenna in 2017 using liquid crystal mixtures specifically designed for this application.

Light sources: safe and trendy

Smart lighting for the car of the future is another promising field of research that Merck is focusing on. Headlights containing liquid crystals have a higher resolution, allowing them to adapt automati-cally to any imaginable situation. A high beam headlight would thus provide maximum illumination without blinding oncoming drivers or pedestrians. In addition, Merck is collaborating with Osram, a lighting manufacturer, to develop innovative automotive lighting technologies. ‟Organic light-emit-ting diodes are opening up com-pletely new design options for automotive lighting,” says Marc Lünnemann, Head of OLED at Osram. First series vehicles with ultraflat, glass-based OLED rear lights are now coming onto the market. Their light is extremely homogeneous and precise and offers automobile designers a variety of options for differentia-tion. ‟The next leap in innovation

will be flexible OLED lighting that can be applied to bendable panels and designed in virtually any shape,” says Lünnemann. The abundance of examples shows that the possibilities for the car of the future are developing at top speed – without any speeding tickets. And Merck is leading the race.
