Future Oled Screen for Car
OLED technologies for a long time. Japanese electronics maker Sharp to create OLED displays for next-generation with the ultimate outcome of the deal depending on Sharp's capacity to output a large amount of displays (via Bloomberg). OLEDs are more flexible and can operate without a backlight (hence thinner) thereby paving the way for new cockpit applications. Yet the number of automakers using OLEDs is still rare and limited to the high-end of the market.
In 2012 installed AMOLED digital rear view "mirrors" in their R18 sports prototype cars. Audi is also interested in flexible OLED displays. The favourite advancement on traditional designs this year was the emergence of the Organic LED or OLED screen.
As a result, OLED screens are much lighter and thinner than current displays, and when sandwiched between flexible materials, can even be made to curve. The addition of a coloured filter to each OLED produced different coloured light, and lining up thousands of red, green and blue filtered OLEDs next to each other, just like the arrangement of pixels on a conventional screen, allows for the creation of crisp, bright and high resolution images.
Opportunity (WOO) is set to change the way people, especially children, react when asked to sit on the back seat. Developed by the researchers of Future Lab at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Israel for the General Motors
at least the company is "working on the integration of OLEDs" for the 2017 flagship model.
Maybe the new A8 will also adopt a new OLED display for its interior.
With future trends pointing to the elimination of wing mirrors and the addition of screens, such black rectangles can dominate the look and feel a car's interior.
