Hundreds of companies are working to devise displays built on plastic, metal foils or other flexible substrates in an effort to dislodge the pre-eminent LCDs. The auto industry has been relatively slow in adopting LCDs. This is due not to a lack of effort on the part of car manufacturers, but rather because automotive displays must meet very strict safety-related requirements and function in extreme environmental...Read full article
