This transcript features Chris Chinnock of Insight Media reporting from the Vehicle Displays and Interfaces conference in Detroit, where he highlights AUO’s latest innovations in automotive display technology.
Key Highlights from AUO
- Generation 4 Pillar-to-Pillar Display: A massive 48-inch 8K x 1K display.
- Unlike previous generations that used two panels, this version uses one single LCD panel that is hot-formed into a curved shape.
- It features integrated ambient light, IR, and touch sensors, and is powered by a cockpit domain controller through a partnership with BHTC.
- ART (Advanced Reflective Technology) Display: Utilizes a specialized film treatment with extremely low reflectance, creating a realistic, matte “fine art” appearance.
- Automakers are considering this for “entry experiences,” where the car displays art before the engine starts.
- Dual-Sided MicroLED Panel: A transparent microLED display capable of showing two discrete images on either side with minimal bleed-through.1
- MicroLED AR HUD: A 13-inch stereoscopic system that reflects off the windshield.
- It offers a wide field of view (16×7) and high brightness, though it requires eye-tracking to function correctly.
