volkswagen tft display manufacturer

Volkswagen announced Friday it would show off “developments in electromobility as well as the next generation of connectivity” at the Consumer Electronics Show next month in Las Vegas.

“For instance, Volkswagen will give quite a clear glimpse of the latest developments in in-car infotainment that are on the verge of being launched onto the market. This will see innovations such as the Golf R Touch concept car finding their way into Volkswagen’s broad product portfolio,” the automaker said in a statement.

A full TFT display for the driver, a feature that’s never been offered before on the Volkswagen Golf, and an updated infotainment system certainly could be what the automaker is talking about when it mentions technology “on the verge of being launched onto the market.”

VW just showed us an all-new concept at the Geneva Motor Show. Inspired by the ""four-door coupe"" market which is gaining in popularity, the brand showed the Sport Coupe GTE Concept, a modern vehicle which gives us an insight into where Volkswagen intends to go styling-wise.

The interior is all modern, with a TFT screen that replaces the old analog gauges. This technology was launched a few months ago by Audi, and since this brand is owned by VW, the manufacturer will probably use the technology in its upcoming vehicles.

The Volkswagen Sport Coupe GTE is just a concept for now, but it stands to reason that some of this car"s styling might end up on regular production models.

The multifunction display, a compact information unit, is positioned directly in front of you on the dashboard for your convenience and safety. It lets you see important information at a glance, without taking your attention from the road.

Thanks to Active Info Display, you can enjoy the advantages of an instrument cluster with a high resolution colour display. With various information profiles, you can decide which specific data are displayed in the instrument cluster in addition to the usual gauges such as the rev counter, speedometer and odometer.

You can select this information profile quickly and easily using the optional multifunctional steering wheel: depending on your precise needs, you can access detailed Driving Data, for example, or show a visual display of your driver assistance systems. This means the display area can be even better used, because you can also show additional data within the dials.

In the Discover Navigation Infotainment system, you can decide whether you would like to see the navigation map in the Active Info Display, or have the classic view on the system display. With Discover Navigation Pro, both display options are available simultaneously.

With various information profiles, you can decide which data is displayed in the instrument cluster in addition to the usual gauges, which include the revolution counter, speedometer and odometer.

An upgrade of the Active Info Display V1 (above), you’ll have more options which can be altered through the infotainment system. For example, the entire infotainment screen can be used to display audio, telephone or navigation.

The virtual cockpit can be tailored to each individual driver who uses the vehicle, and can be adjusted by using buttons on the multifunction steering wheel. The system can be used to display a large map, and the zoom function can be enable without having to use Discover Navigation Premium.The cockpit has 16 different settings to choose from, but it can also be run in Auto mode, which shows the relevant driving information depending on the person driving.

The production time is only 4-5 weeks for LCD panels and 5-8 weeks for LCD display module, TFT LCD, IPS LCD display, and touch screen.

Thin Film Transistor displays will be the next wave of in-vehicle infotainment progress. These new information displays will replace the gauges and screens you now view to get needed information. Brighter, crisper, and more visible from angles, the screens will enable easier viewing.

In a typical mainstream car in 2016 the view one sees is a large speedometer with an analog-like look, and possibly a tachometer or group of other needle-indicators showing fuel and temperature. Going forward, the new TFT screens will enable those same views, and they’ll show you much more.

TFT screens are the intersection of liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and semiconductor manufacturing. Created on a glass or plastic substrate, the material is deposited onto the surface with high-tech machinery long used to produced semiconductor devices like computer chips. The classic deposit, etch, and repeat steps enable the manufacturers to produce resolutions and abilities not previously possible.

Since these displays are entirely digital, more like a laptop or smartphone screen than past displays, the information you see can change easily. The classic display you view between the spokes of the steering wheel will still be the default.

However, automakers will give you the option of seeing a large, clear map as an alternative. Or perhaps you prefer to minimize the speedo and instead have the audio options use the majority of the screen. The customization options will let you dial in the display to get the information you want.

Together they produce a fantastic display that incorporates all of the driver’s needed information into the gauge area. The secondary and tertiary screens we are used to seeing in the center of and on top of the dashboard are gone. Even the backup camera is viewed in this new central location.

With the ever-increasing digitalization, displays are becoming THE key differentiator of modern vehicle interiors and are the most important interface for the interaction of driver and vehicle. Changed user demands and new technologies enable novel interior cockpit designs.

New York, Sept. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Automotive Head-up Display (HUD) Industry Report, 2022" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06318548/?utm_source=GNW

Since 2021, AR HUD has been installed in multiple new vehicle models, including Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Hongqi E-HS9, Great Wall Mocha, Geely Xingyue L, Volkswagen ID Series, GAC Trumpchi GS8, BAIC Mofang and Rising R7.

There are four PGU technologies: TFT-LCD, DLP, LCOS, and laser scanning projection (LSP). Wherein, TFT-LCD and DLP are the mainstream solutions used in the current AR HUD-enabled production vehicle models in China. Volkswagen ID Series, Hongqi E-HS9 and WEY Mocha among others all bear TFT-LCD solutions. The DLP technology monopolized by TI delivers good imaging effects but its cost is high. The applied models include Mercedes-Benz S-Class and the 2nd-generation GAC Trumpchi GS8.

MEMS laser scanning projection (LSP) is also a R&D direction for some companies like Panasonic, Pioneer and Shenzhen Dianshi Innovation Technology. In 2022, the dual-vision laser holographic AR HUD jointly developed by Panasonic and Envisics is to be first mounted on Cadillac LYRIQ. With two projection display areas, far and near, the system can display real-scene markers at the destination, real-scene navigation, forward collision warning, and lane change command.

In January 2021, Qualcomm announced its 4th-generation Snapdragon Automotive Cockpit Platform, a digital cockpit solution that supports multi-ECU and multi-domain fusion, covering dashboard and cockpit, AR-HUD, infotainment, rear seat display, electronic rearview mirror and in-vehicle monitoring. The system will be first available to cars of JIDU Auto and is projected to be mass-produced and delivered in 2023.

At the CES 2022, Panasonic unveiled its AR HUD 2.0 system. Powered by Panasonic’s SkipGen2, its eCockpit infotainment controller, AR HUD 2.0 adds the eye tracking system (ETS), a patented technology that enables automatic driver height adjustment, dynamic parallax compensation, dynamic auto focus and driver monitoring capability. “The Panasonic AR HUD 2.0 continues the trend of up-integration of display domains, such as Cluster and HUD, into the central infotainment compute module,” said Andrew Poliak, CTO, Panasonic Automotive Systems Company of America.
