As one of the main application markets of small and medium-sized panels, LCD display panel manufacturers never stop competing in the automotive panel display market. Especially with the development of 5G, unmanned driving, and new energy vehicles, the update and iteration of display panel technology are accelerating.

From the perspective of the automotive panel display market and research and development, a-si, TFT-LCD, LTPS, AMOLED, and Mini/Micro LED are the main technologies of vehicle display panels at the present stage. Among them, a-si and TFT-LCD markets are weakening, LTPS is on the rise, AMOLED is rising strongly, Mini/Micro LED is A forward-looking technology reserve, appearing in various exhibitions at high frequency.

Auto display panels shipped 1.615 million units in 2018, up 9.4 percent from a year earlier, according to IHS Markit.IHS notes that the global automotive LCD display panel market is entering a period of slow growth but intense competition.

But car displays panel will grow at a compound annual rate of 7 percent from 2017 to 2025, compared with weak demand for smartphones that will be hard to reverse. Demand for display panels for car and public displays, smartwatches, and OLED TVs is expected to grow faster than other applications.

Panel makers have added more screens for cars in recent years, either to expand revenue growth or to smooth out the shortcomings of smartphone panels.

In terms of vehicle LCD display panel shipments in 2018, JDI, LGD, tianma, au optronics, and qunchuang optronics are the top five global enterprises in terms of vehicle display panel shipments, with market shares of 16.9%, 12.8%, 12.4%, 12.1%, and 11.0% respectively.

JDI and LGD are the dominant vehicle panels for LTPS. With the help of the two companies, LTPS gradually occupied A certain market share of the vehicle display panel after a-si. The advantages of LTPS are ultra-thin, lightweight, low power consumption, colorful and clearer, and the OLED panels are derived from LTPS.

According to the new display of high tech, JDI has laid out the LTPS in 2015 and made the LTPS plan for mass production for vehicle display. With its technical advantages and mass production level, JDI’s vehicle display panel business revenue exceeded 100 billion yen for * times in 2017.JDI’s automotive panel revenue plans to expand to 160 billion yen by 2020, said Holger Gerkens, JDI’s executive officer for automotive panels.

Au optronics is a late adopter of the LTPS, but its LTPS products were introduced to the full range of automotive panels in 2018. Its products are said to achieve color saturation up to NTSC * and can be switched between high-resolution images and traditional mirror mode depending on driving requirements. As au optronics Kunshan 6 generation LTPS panel factory capacity is full, it is expected that the proportion of LTPS vehicle panels is expected to increase.

Mainland panel manufacturers, TCL group subsidiary huaxing optoelectronics have expanded production of the sixth generation of LTPS display panel technology, and the product positioning includes the application of automotive display.

OLED panel has higher response speed, lower energy consumption, flexible display, non-breakable, no dead Angle and other characteristics, in the industry, its performance is conducive to improve driving safety, very suitable for the vehicle display panel market. UBI Research expects OLED to account for 10% of the vehicle display market by 2020.

Mainland manufacturers boe and vechino have both expanded production of AMOLED, and their AMOLED panels have been applied in-vehicle display, breaking the gap in technology and application in the domestic market. According to related reports, boe’s AMOLED panel is also equipped with Mini LED, in-cell, and other technologies.

Vercino AMOLED is still in its initial stage, but there is already A certain scale of the AMOLED production line, and in April this year, transparent a-pillar MVS were mass-produced to solve the problem of driving blind area.

According to foreign media, sharp will set up a new factory in ho chi minh city, Vietnam, which plans to produce vehicle display screens for us market in Vietnam. According to sources, the new plant was originally planned in China, but it is likely to be produced in Vietnam due to cost and sino-us trade frictions.

JDI also said that it will take advantage of JOLED printed OLED technology to strengthen the development of new product technology and gradually expand the sales of vehicle panels.

From the application side, OLED display panels are currently mainly used in high-end automobile brands and new energy vehicles, occupying a limited market share. However, some industry insiders believe that OLED is expected to become the mainstream of automotive display, with technology and mass production advantages of the panel factory revenue prospects are considerable.

In addition, with the Mini/Micro LED technology increasingly mature, two technologies have become the panel factory forward-looking technology layout focus.

The car display panel is a niche market. When many enterprises develop Mini/Micro LED, they often regard car display as one of the main application scenarios. However, the Mini/Micro LED in the vehicle display market has not yet entered the commercial stage.

In the future, the vehicle LCD display panel will blossom, especially under the assistance of 5G and self-driving cars, the vehicle display technology will advance towards high specifications.

Take Porsche as a prime example. For fifty years Porsche did grey interiors with sensible buttons. If you threw them a few Marks they might upholster it in 1970s bathroom-suite green, or second hand placenta red. But all the sensible buttons were still there.

Post-Tesla, we got the Taycan, and a whole new style of Porsche interior. Yes, Stuttgart has been dabbling with touchscreens in 911s and Caymans already and gone a bit pixel-crazy in the 918 Spyder, but all of a sudden, buttons were verboten. Alongside a main touchscreen front and centre, you can option in a second monitor for the passenger.

Ahead of its time by a few years, the 1976 Aston Martin Lagonda featured a set of three five-inch CRT screens in its instrument cluster, displaying the speedometer, fuel and temperature together with the RPM and time in bright green pixels.

Futuristic features like the computer system and electronics may have looked exciting in the vehicle, but it was so expensive, the Lagonda ended up being a limited production car.

As display technology has advanced over the last 50 years, the automotive industry has been slow to adopt new technology due to high safety, reliability and cost requirements. But as we now celebrate the flexible OLED display in a production vehicle –

LCDs first appeared in cars in 1980 as simple clock displays, roughly 10 years after Martin Schadt and Wolfgang Helfrich filed their patent for the Twisted Nematic effect LCD.

Lower production costs of TN LCDs made it viable for much wider automotive use. Display technology, at least in some capacity, would no longer be a novelty found only in luxury vehicles. In 1983, the Renault 11 Electronic became the first European hatchback to use LCD display technology.

The Film Super-Twisted Nematic (FSTN) effect further improved colour contrast by adding a film layer to distort the colour wavelengths produced via the STN effect into true black and white.

The ‘active matrix’ concept behind Thin-Film-Transistors (TFT) was first presented in 1968, but TFT LCD didn’t start making it"s way into volume consumer products until the ‘90s.

TFT displays turn on individual pixels rather than deliver current to an entire target area, generating a higher quality image than ‘passive matrix’ TN, STN and FSTN LCDs.

Compared to predecessors, TFT displays are thinner, provide better visibility in bright and dark conditions, support wider viewing angles and offer interconnectivity.

Over the next 10 years, TFT very slowly started to replace passive LCD technology in high end vehicles but many low cost vehicles would still use passive LCDs for years to come.I worked on my first Automotive TFT project in 2010, a mono 3.4 inch display that was used in the Ford Fiesta/ Focus and rolled out globally.

TFT displays have incrementally improved displaying full colour or monochrome video and integrating data from multiple sources at the same time. TFT is still the go-to display technology for infotainment systems and instrument clusters in today’s cars.

OLED was invented by Kodak scientists Ching Tang and Steven Van Slyke in 1987. In the early 2000s, OLED displays were limited to only mobile phones and video and digital cameras. It took nearly 30 years to make it into a vehicle due to high manufacturing costs. Once again, Aston Martin was the early adopter. It made its entrance into automotive displays in 2005 when the Aston Martin DB9 installed an OLED display in its instrument cluster.

The same principles that have driven innovation within automotive displays the past 50 years will continue to guide which display technology is fit-for-purpose for automotive in future. Auto companies will have to balance consumer demand for a high-tech experience like multi-app integration with cost, quality and safety standards above and beyond what’s required in other consumer industries.

What is clear now is that the evolution of automotive display will continue and ReportLinker forecasts that the global automotive smart display market will grow from $7.2 billion in 2020 to $10.9 billion in 2025.

The ever-increasing reliance on touch screens in cars is a controversial topic. With each new product release, the comment sections of articles and youtube videos are filled with negative remarks. Yet, carmakers are totally committed to the race of creating ever-bigger screens. If public opinion is so against touch interfaces in cars, why do car companies use them? I dove into this topic and confirmed my hypothesis: touch screens are not the problem per se, but car companies" design execution is.

The CRT touch display was not that bad, but it took some decades before touch screens were good enough to be widely adopted in cars. After Tesla launched the Model S with its 17" touch screen, carmakers have been eager to design increasingly bigger touch screens. Today, it is an exception if a car is not fitted with one. There are many reasons why this is happening. To dive into those, we first have to define the different types of interactions that occur while driving and how they evolved over time.

The first set is the primary interactions. They include all the functions that are directly related to driving and safety. Examples are monitoring the speed, turning on the indicators, and operating the windscreen wipers.

The secondary interactions are actions that occur frequently but take little time to accomplish. These can be changing the music volume, changing cabin temperature, or turning on the airconditioning.

The tertiary interactions are the opposite of the secondary ones. They are infrequent but require a high cognitive load and take longer to accomplish. Examples are filling in a destination in the navigation system or changing personal settings in the car.

Over time, these sets of interactions have evolved in mostly the same way. The interior of the Volkswagen Golf is an excellent demonstrator. The first generation Volkswagen Golf has a simple interior. The primary actions are limited to two gauges, some buttons, and a stalk for the indicators. The same goes for the secondary settings, consisting of three sliders to control the temperature and some volume controls. The only tertiary interaction is to find and set a radio channel.

All three sets of interactions increase in quantity, even the primary ones. In the Golf, for example, instead of some basic gauges and controls, the latest generation"s primary interactions now also include adaptive cruise control, speed limit warnings, and a range of other safety systems. Even something as simple as turning on the windscreen wipers or lights has increased in complexity with different modes, sensors, and settings.

Similarly, the secondary controls include countless different ways to set the right cabin temperature. There are buttons for heated seats and windows, airconditioning, individual climate control, and more.

But the real visible change is an exponential increase in tertiary interactions. Whereas in the first generation Golf, you can only choose a radio station, today there is an endless list of radio channels, streaming services, and podcast platforms. And that is just the media. Almost all cars come with navigation systems, phone connections, and internet-connected apps. All of these can be set up and configured to fit your personal taste. For example, you can choose the exact color of the interior lights, how heavy the steering should be, and which information should be shown in the cluster display.

Initially, all these interactions were controlled via indirect, physical controls. But over time, with each generation, the display grows in size, and the number of physical controls decreases.

The latest generation Golf is another important step because even the secondary interactions are not moved to the touch interface. Most of the physical buttons that remain are the ones that are legally required.

In 2001, BMW launched iDrive, one of the first in-vehicle infotainment systems. It was designed around indirect interactions via a controller close to the gear lever. At the time, it was a good balance between available technology, cost, and usability.

Over time, just like most in-car infotainment systems, BMW adjusted iDrive for use with touch interaction as well. Why did they decide to include touch interaction in the later version?

A lot of it has to do with the increasing complexity of tertiary interactions. As the number of these interactions increases with each generation, indirect controls seem to perform worse than touch interaction, especially in two areas: task completion time and adoption.

Even compared to other possible interaction techniques like gesture interaction and voice interaction, touch interaction performs equal, if not better.

Naturally, task completion time is only one way to measure the success of an interaction model. Touch screens score differently when it comes to visual attention, lane deviation, reaction time, and others. Carmakers have to weigh the time it takes to complete the tasks versus the gravity of the distraction. In a lot of scenarios, touch interactions are the preferred method.

The second solid argument is the adoption rate of touch interfaces. Once drivers enter their cars, their focus is on driving and not on learning a new system. So one way to decrease driver distraction is to make the interaction as close to other familiar digital products as possible. As such, touch screens are preferred over indirect controls.

The next reason why car makers use touch screens has to do with decluttering. It is a term that is often heard in design departments. It means to reduce the visual overload or perceived complexity of the interior. Getting into a car and seeing a dashboard full of buttons gives a busy, overwhelming look. Instead, a calm-looking interior with few buttons has a positive impact on comfort and perceived quality.

Additionally, many customers relate a big touch screen to a technologically advanced car. As an interior designer, you don"t want your car to be perceived as old-fashioned so fitting a giant screen shows your brand is futuristic.

Compared to a dashboard full of different buttons, knobs, and screens, a single touch screen is a much more straightforward part to design, spec, and maintain. Therefore, carmakers may prefer to fit a standardized touch screen instead of a range of custom buttons and knobs because of the development cost.

Another advantage is the possibility to modernize the interior of the car by updating the UI design. Digital design trends move much faster than interior design trends. Tesla has shown that updating the interface of the Model S helps to delay an expensive redesign or new model introduction because the car looks less outdated.

In mobile environments, like cars, the users" primary focus is on controlling the vehicle. So touch interfaces not only have to be usable and accessible, but they also have to ensure road safety. As discussed before, even though task completion time is the fastest with touch interaction, there are other driver distraction measures where touch interaction is not the preferred method.

One of those is visual attention. When interacting with a touch screen, drivers need to move their visual attention from the road to the screen to find the object they want to select. Furthermore, they have to coordinate their finger to that object without any tactile objects guiding it. With physical controls much less visual attention is needed to perform the interaction, leading to less distraction.

What is the impact of this difference in visual attention between touch controls and indirect controls? Experiments have shown that reaction times are slower, and there is a higher variance in driving behavior like lane departure and maintaining speed

Other disadvantages are the lack of haptic feedback when selecting an object and the display"s placement, which is a trade-off between readability and reachability.

It is important to consider that there is no perfect solution for an interaction model of tertiary interactions that is easy to operate and not distracting. Carmakers should choose the "least bad" solution in this case and design around its shortcomings.

When weighing the positives with the drawbacks of touch screens, they are the right solution for tertiary interactions in most cases if they are optimized for task completion time.

Designing a touch interface is difficult, especially in the context of driving. As task completion time is the most significant advantage of touch screens, you would expect it to be one of the main acceptance criteria. Yet, many car companies don"t seem to focus on that enough.

The perfect example of that is the latest trend of including secondary controls in the touch interface. For secondary interactions, the task completion time is already at a minimum with physical controls. On top of that, the physical controls require less visual attention. By moving those to a touch screen, both the task completion time and visual attention are compromised. It is not only annoying for end-users, but it is also dangerous.

Carmakers may do this because of decluttering and cost-saving. The aesthetics are important and may persuade customers to buy a car when they first see it. But good design is finding the right balance between ergonomics and aesthetics. When considering the dangers of driving, the first job of the designer should be to minimize distraction.

On top of that, the added benefit of prioritizing safety is that the controls will be more intuitive and easy to use. An interior will look super slick in the dealership if it has no physical buttons. Still, most buyers will find out very quickly after purchasing their car that it is annoying to have to divert visual attention to simply turn on the heater if before they could do it blindly. In moving the secondary controls to a touch interface, the balance is leaning too much towards aesthetics than ergonomics.

The second example of carmakers making suboptimal design decisions is the interface design itself, which is often needlessly complicated. They are filled with features that make you wonder why you would need them in a vehicle, like the possibility to check social media, order a pizza from the car, find movie times, or set custom wallpaper.

To carmakers, offering a lot of features equals customer value. But as many tech companies have shown, customer value is actually created by ensuring users achieve their goals. Having too many features stands in the way of that, and research confirms that. Year after year, infotainment systems are the biggest frustration in new car ownership, and the majority of problems are design-related.

It may explain the popularity of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. These systems are optimized for task completion time and restrict access to certain features and apps that are deemed too dangerous. As a result, they are less distracting than native infotainment systems.

Customers want the latest technology and apps to be available in their car. Designing an infotainment system in such a way that it is not distracting is impossible. In theory, touch screens are a valid technology to facilitate these interactions. However, car companies should be minimizing the risks of distraction. Today, there are significant steps to be made to get to that point. But there are reasons to be optimistic about the future.

The interior of the car is always transforming, and so are touch screens. There is a lot to be optimistic about. Lately, the hardware powering the infotainment systems has seen significant improvements, leading to better screens and faster interfaces. There will be more innovations like haptic feedback and new input types like gestures and better voice interaction in the next years. These will help to mitigate some of the disadvantages of touch screens.

Most carmakers are also getting serious about over-the-air updates, which will allow more iterations on the interface design to weed out usability issues.

In the end, it will be vital that they tip the balance more towards usability than aesthetics. But once they optimize their interfaces, and when combined with physical controls and other modalities, touch screens in cars will be a great solution.
