Display devices have been used for many years as a means of HMI (Human Machine Interface) to connect humans and machines interactively, and their usage are still expanding. Automotive interiors are no exception to this trend, with an increasing amount of information being displayed,ranging from important information for safe driving to entertainment information, and this trend will continue to evolve further in the future. Interior Display Trends The quality of white light The LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen of a meter or entertainment system is a full-color ...

About LiDAR Automotive industry trends In recent years, many vehicles have been launched with ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) as standard equipment. As the future evolves towards more automated driving, sensing around the vehicle is required to be even more accurate. About LiDAR LiDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, is a sensing technology that uses radar light to measure the shape and distance of distant objects.The use of LiDAR technology is expected to be used to constantly monitor the surroundings of automated vehicles an...
