The legibility of automotive displays is optimized under changing light conditions.

Sevugan Nagappan, Osram Opto Semiconductors

Brightness and readability in direct sunlight are key factors in the performance, safety and aesthetic appeal of automotive interior displays. These factors determine whether or not a display is used in a particular vehicle application. Displays are used in many areas in today’s cars, such as instrument clusters, global positioning system screens, audio equipment, entertainment systems and head-up displays. As manufacturers increase the number of displays in a vehicle, the need to manage the brightness in various lighting scenarios will continue to challenge designers. The majority of...Read full article
