In-Vehicle TFT-LCDs

In-Vehicle TFT-LCD Manufacturers

I   　Current Status and Future Outlook of In-Vehicle TFT-LCD (Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display) Market

• Larger screens cannot be attained before overcoming the size of 7"-8"for CID (Center Information Display) and 3.5"-4.2" for Information Cluster.
• An Issue of range of visibility is making it difficult to develop even higher-definition and higher-resolution, but the market has entered HD era.
• Producing variant-shaped displays may induce new-technological competition.
• Variant-shaped Information clusters may grow if they exceed the level of productivity that square-shaped information clusters have.
• In-vehicle monitors may become multi-screen solutions, connecting to and displaying various in-vehicle displays
