/PRNewswire/ -- Global automotive supplier Visteon

Visteon's third-generation reconfigurable instrument
cluster platform and JDI's high-definition thin film transistor
(TFT) display deliver superior graphics and animation. This
technology supports complex 3-D graphics and video features such as
driver awareness and camera inputs. Visteon's latest platform
allows the 12.3-inch display resolution to deliver 1920 x 720
pixels and an 8:3 aspect ratio – considered unmatched in the
automotive market.
This superior display quality and capability are in
addition to these standard benefits of a Visteon reconfigurable
instrument cluster:
- Speed to market achieved by Visteon's human-machine
interaction (HMI) tool chain and work flow methodology
- Unique branding and styling flexibility through simple
software modifications
- Common hardware across platforms and trim
levels
- Fewer mechanical parts
Visteon's consumer research shows that
vehicle owners are becoming accustomed to HD-quality displays in
their personal devices and prefer reconfigurable instrument
clusters with high-resolution graphics. Consumers say high-quality
displays provide them with an added sense of safety because the
driver information is clear and can be read quickly and
effortlessly.
"Visteon has received excellent input from vehicle
manufacturers and we're excited to provide a technology that they
and their customers want," said Christian
Feltgen, Visteon global director of cockpit electronics. "By
working with JDI on this project, we are able to deliver what we
believe is the highest quality product in the market."
Visteon is displaying this technology among others at the
Electronica show in Munich,
Germany, from Nov. 13-16 in
Hall A6, booth 343.
