Visteon is presenting larger, digital, high-resolution displays
geared to premium vehicles ranging from curved lenses to thin,
richly colored organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays.
"With the car becoming a connected mobile platform, drivers and
passengers expect to access information or entertainment in their
vehicles as they do with their smartphones or tablets," said
Visteon President and CEO Sachin
Lawande. "Consequently, intuitive higher-resolution displays
with unique surface appearances are expected to include 3-D
graphics and intuitive interfaces."
Automotive-ready concepts on display at Visteon's exhibit
incorporate the consumer appeal of sleek design, craftsmanship and
touch capability with the latest in display technology. Visteon is
presenting innovative concepts such as curved lenses optically
bonded to displays with formable touch sensors.
"The realism in these displays is remarkably rich, precise and
clear, with details and lighting effects that can be tailored to an
automaker's brand image to create a unique and enjoyable user
experience," Lawande said.
Visteon also is presenting next-generation graphics processing
capabilities. This is accomplished through use of a premium,
2880-by-1080 pixel reconfigurable Lightscape® digital instrument
cluster. Lightscape units showcase cutting-edge graphics featuring
complex 3-D shapes, textures and lighting.
"We are working with several high-end silicon chip providers to
help our customers, the auto manufacturers, understand the
tradeoffs in hardware and software, and ensure the highest possible
graphics rendering," said Jim
Farell, director, Visteon Technology Office.
Visteon and Rightware have worked together to create a
revolutionary particle animation system for enriching automotive
cockpit graphics. The new system is making its premiere at CES in
the Visteon Lightscape® D3.2 reconfigurable instrument cluster
platform.
"Particles suspended in the air add realism and a stunning
sparkle effect," Farell said. "These effects improve the already
impressive graphics design in Visteon's Lightscape platform and
highlight the future of visual effects in automotive use
cases."
Also at CES, Visteon is featuring:
- An updated modular, third-generation multi-layer display that
generates a visually striking 3-D virtual image
- A dual-view display allowing the driver to focus on
driving-related content, while the passenger sees separate graphics
content, such as a movie, on the same display
- A dual OLED display, showcasing a human-machine interaction
(HMI) approach for devices brought into the vehicle, such as
smartphones or tablets, which allows automakers to retain their HMI
solutions. The second display remains hidden until additional
segregated content is required.
The move to all-digital displays, while enhancing the user
experience, can add cost to the overall system. Harnessing advances
in the underlying software and silicon, Visteon has developed a
technology solution called SmartCore™ that provides a total
cost-of-ownership benefit as well as security and user experience
advantages. The SmartCore™ technology on display at CES integrates
the latest infotainment, instrument clusters, head-up displays
(HUD) and advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) domains.
Visteon offers global driver information platforms across all
mobility segments, from premium vehicles to motorcycles, and
supplies most of the world's major vehicle
manufacturers.
