The Kyoto company jointly developed the 3D holographic rear combination lamp fitted to certain grades of the third-generation Nissan Leaf EV. The lamp uses Aratas spatial projection technology, a transparent resin light guide plate 2 mm thick that renders a pseudo depth of 40 mm. Aratas says the Leaf is the first automotive use of the technology, previously adopted mainly in amusement equipment.","whyItMatters":"An optical supplier whose spatial projection work sat mainly in amusement equipment has now put it into a mass-production car part at Nissan, which is the kind of supplier-side validation that opens the door to other automotive components.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eNissan handed out the award at its 2026 NISSAN Global Innovation \u0026amp; Quality Award, an annual program for suppliers that lift product competitiveness and brand value.
