Mini and Micro LED suppliers will focus more on automotive market
21-05-2021
Nowadays, the automotive industry has provided many ADAS functions and found new technological developments to achieve autonomous driving. However, auto manufacturers have still faced challenges to building self-driving cars and providing V2X services.
Automotive displays are a very important component when discussing smart cars because they work for many functions such as human-machine interfacing and infotainment. Currently, the trend of automotive displays is larger screens, multiple screens, higher resolution, higher level of interactivity, diversification in forms, etc. Auto makers are using large center information display (CID) with touchscreen control to replace the traditional center console.
With the installation of CIDs, auto makers and component suppliers in the automotive industry are also starting to add new interface technologies into different types of in-vehicle display systems. These display systems also provide a lot more than the standard control functions and instrumentation. They help with trip planning, recommend restaurants, and host different cloud-based services.
The arrival of transparent displays has made certain innovative designs possible in the automotive industry. Traditional car windows can be replaced with transparent displays that not only have the same level of light transmittance but also bring about new kinds of interactions with drivers and passengers. For example, side and rear windows can be changed into mobile billboards.
Turning to other auto makers, Ford has been developing a smart car window that would allow blind or visually impaired passengers to use their sense of touch to experience the passing landscape. It is a display system that uses a camera to capture the outside scenery and then turns the image data into tactile feedback.
Honda, too, is developing car windows that contains cameras and sensors. Besides serving as event data recorders, these improved car windows also have many other potential functions such as image capture, distance gauging, and even translation.
Additionally, a transparent display installed on the A-pillar can significantly improve driving safety by removing the blind spot.
Automotive display has become the 5th largest small and medium panel market after smartphones, tablets, notebook, and monitors.
Mini/Micro LED feature ultra-high resolution, high reliability, high brightness, ultra-wide color gamut, low power consumption, and ultra-fast speed of response, which the best solution for automotive display.
In terms of chip suppliers, HC Semitek had reduced the production capacity for its low end LED chips in 2020, and accelerated on the arrangement for Mini/Micro LED display and the third generation semiconductor, of which the Mini LED backlight chips have been used for iPad, notebooks, TVs, and automotive applications.
A small part of Mini LED backlight products by Aucksun has been under production in first-tier module makers, and will be mainly used for automotive systems.
It is evident that the entire display industry, from panels to chips and packaging, is ready for the large scale application of Mini/Micro LED for automotive displays.
Actually, the booming market demand in the automotive led lights markets has developed greatly along with advanced technology developments such as smart headlights, central tunnel taillights, ambient lights, and HDR automotive display, the fast developing technology of Mini LED and Micro LED makes the competition more fierce during the quick progress.
It is expected that more and more of Mini/Micro LED monitors will be installed into in smart vehicles to provide an even more excellent and convenient riding experience for the users.
