Custom display&touch solution using for Automotive Applications

 

The rigorous requirements of the automotive environment pose a significant engineering challenge. With professional automotive solutions, and accumulated expertise and technology, we Shengfeng have established ourselves as a trusted supplier of automotive touchscreen and display solutions.

The application of LCD display in the automotive industry is primarily evident in areas such as instrument clusters, center consoles, rearview mirrors, HUD (Head-Up Display), and entertainment systems. These displays provide real-time navigation, mapping applications, entertainment systems, vehicle control, and communication and connectivity. Through the display, drivers can monitor vehicle status, plan routes, access traffic information, and conduct POI searches in real-time. Additionally, the display are also usef for playing music, videos, and streaming media, providing drivers and passengers with a wider range of entertainment options.

 

Touchscreens further enhance the interactivity of in-vehicle displays. Drivers can easily operate the vehicle's systems through the touchscreen, including temperature control, seat adjustment, vehicle settings, and driving mode selection. The touchscreen also supports Bluetooth, WiFi, and smartphone connectivity, enabling drivers to make calls, send text messages, check emails, and use APPs. This intuitive interaction not only improves the user experience but also makes the driver’s operation process more convenient and safe.

 

 

The display technology recommended for Automotive Application:

Monochrome LCD Display Type: 

  • TN, STN, PMVA LCD technology
  • Segment, character or graphic LCD 
  • LCD panel only, or COG, COB module with PCBA 

 

  • Color TFT Display:  4.3'' /5.0”/7.0''/12.3''

 

 

The automotive touch screen technology recommended:

Touch Screen type:

  • G+G Capacitive Touch Screen (CTP)
  • Irregular Shape Tempered Cover glass
  • With Optical Bonding 

 

The features of Automotive-grade Display & touch Screen products:

Wide Operating Temperature:

  • The general operating temperature range of automotive display and automotive touch screen is from-30℃ to +85℃, which can meet the extreme temperature requirements for outdoor use.

High stability and durability:

  • As the vehicle is always in motion, then the automotive display and touch screen must possess high stability and reliability to ensure normal operation in various environments.

Large-sized and multi-touch:

  • The automotive touch screen needs to meet the requirements of large size and multi-touch to provide a better user experience and operational convenience.

Support glove-wearing finger operation and real multi-finger operation:

  • The touch screen needs to support glove-wearing finger operation and real multi-finger operation (such as 10-point touch) to meet the needs of different users.

Waterproof, strong anti-interference, and anti-static functions:

  • The automotive touch screen needs to have waterproof, strong anti-interference, and anti-static functions to ensure stability and reliability in various environments.

Explosion-proof function and head impact test:

  • The automotive touch screen needs to have explosion-proof function and undergo a head impact test to ensure that it will not cause secondary injury to passengers in the event of an accident.

Surface optical treatment:

  • The surface of the touch screen needs to undergo optical treatment, such as anti-glare (AG) and anti-reflection (AR), to improve the visibility in outdoor environments.
  • And Optical Bonding for even better viewing and robustness

Customized shape and size:

  • The appearance size of automotive touch display need to be customized according to the vehicle model and interior design to ensure coordination with the overall style of the vehicle.
