LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Visteon Corporation
(NYSE: VC) – a technology leader at the epicenter of the
fast-growing automotive cockpit electronics segment – is
highlighting its latest instrument cluster and display technology
at CES® 2017 in Las Vegas
Jan. 5-8. Visteon is showcasing a
full range of production-ready, fully digital instrument clusters
and displays that incorporate premium graphics and illumination,
and highlight the enhanced styling freedom that digital clusters
afford.
Keeping pace with the consumer electronics world, instrument
clusters in vehicles are rapidly going fully digital. Larger,
higher-resolution displays are becoming the primary interface with
drivers and passengers as new mobility models and autonomous
vehicles evolve. Fully reconfigurable instrument clusters are
expected to represent up to 80 percent of the market within five
years. Visteon was the first to market with this fully
reconfigurable technology and remains the industry leader in
all-digital instrument clusters.
"As more digital content comes into the cockpit, instrument
clusters that were first largely mechanical and then evolved into
electromechanical and hybrid devices are now transforming into
fully digital display-based clusters," said Visteon President and
CEO Sachin Lawande. "There is also
considerable interest in integrating displays more naturally into
the design and materials of the instrument panel, using free-form
shapes with no visible display active areas."
At CES, Visteon is displaying a range of instrument clusters
from entry level to premium, featuring the latest in large,
high-resolution displays, including 3-D, all-digital, hybrid
digital/analog and a cluster with integrated cameras for facial
recognition and monitoring. Highlights include a prism display,
which uses two 12.3-inch TFT displays with a semi-reflective
"blade" between them.
Featured information displays include dual OLED (organic
light-emitting diode) and dual-view displays that show different
content based on viewing angle – such as navigation for the driver
and video for the passenger.
Digital instrument clusters allow automakers to present new
menus and information to drivers with over-the-air software
updates, preventing clusters from becoming static and outdated
throughout the vehicle's life cycle. There is also a growing
interest in technologies increasing the depth of the image in
digital clusters, enabling 3-D effects, for a more immersive
experience.
"The main advantage of all-digital displays is the capability to
handle complex, diverse and ever-changing information," Lawande
said. "With connected and autonomous driving, we have to design in
flexibility, as the new use cases are multiple and complex. This
can only be delivered with basically a 'blank canvas' where the
display can be designed as needed to accommodate new content."
Visteon's experience in graphics rendering, optics and
illumination, plus its manufacturing expertise using sophisticated
automation and clean-room techniques, aids in producing
high-quality clusters and displays that recreate the consumer
electronics experience in the vehicle.
