Infotainment solutions at the highest levels and without dangers for those behind the wheel are coming. At the next Consumer Electronics Show (Ces) which will open in Las Vegas on January 9th, LG will launch a new large display to be placed on the dashboard in front of the passenger which cannot be seen by the driver.
This new generation screen implements the so-called ‘viewing angle control technology‘ to avoid distractions for the driver and allow the passenger – even while traveling – to watch a film or participate in a video conference. The new display, reads the note, is part of LG’s initiatives to maintain its position as ‘number one in the world‘ in providing infotainment screens optimized for the mobility of the future.
At CES this screen will be on display alongside numerous other innovations made for future software-defined and autonomous vehicles, all based on what the Korean tech giant calls car ‘screenification’. Imagined and designed to allow designers to ‘fill’ the entire dashboard, the new LG displays use the latest Oled technology to make ultra-HD screens available to the driver and front passenger (as in the recent Mercedes-Benz EQS) and display for rear passengers that descends from the ceiling.
This innovative generation of screens uses a variety of new technologies, including the so-called P-Oled, which adds a plastic coating to allow the display to follow the curvature of the car’s dashboard. This is a feature that LG claims is not found in any product on the market. LG will also bring a new head-up display to the Consumer Electronics Show which, together with the instrument panel, uses 3D technology to improve the driver’s visual perception.
LG, among other things, is present in many cars, starting with almost all Renault models.
