Integrating multiple thin film transistor (TFT) displays with
touch-activated functions, Visteon developed and delivered the
instrument cluster in only 10 weeks by leveraging its flexible
driver information platform design and its expertise as one of the
world's leading suppliers of driver information technologies.
The futuristic-styled cluster incorporates a 12.3 inch central
TFT color display with two additional color TFT gauges on either
side of the display. The central display incorporates the Sport
Turismo's vehicle and driver information, ranging from tachometer
and navigation to input from the vehicle's external cameras. The
right-hand TFT gauge provides the driver with the hybrid driving
state of the vehicle, while the left-hand gauge incorporates a
touch screen enabling the e-hybrid start function.
"Visteon is delighted to have been involved in the development
of Porsche's exciting e-hybrid concept," said Christian Feltgen, Visteon's global director of
cockpit electronics technologies. "Our investment in flexible
hardware and software architectures enables us to deliver unique
and tailored user interface solutions in accelerated timescales to
our customers around the world."
Visteon will display the Panamera Sport Turismo instrument
cluster at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center, (Central Plaza
#20) on Jan. 8-11.
