Earlier this year, the Japanese company Sharp has shown at CES 2015 prototype displays the free-form, which can be used in the interiors of vehicles. I must say that their application can not be limited to the dashboard or the central display entertainment system. In recent years, an increasing number of car manufacturers think about the projected images from external cameras on the car front and side plates in order to improve visibility and safety.
Displays segment for smartphones affairs at Sharp are not going well. According to the publication Computerworld, Sharp Corporation has decided to accelerate the expansion of cooperation with car manufacturers, as it will allow it to achieve a stable market for their advanced displays with some guarantees of return. Not every display may meet manufacturer of automotive electronic systems, so Sharp believes that this segment she will have fewer competitors. However, the automotive segment have another disadvantage - the cycle of preparation of each new car model is measured in years.
Car manufacturers are interested in not only obtaining display with high contrast and resolution, but also in related interfaces, implying, inter alia, the recognition of gestures. In addition, the center console can display using a polarizing filter to show the driver and passenger to different images - such solutions are already used in production cars. The ability to create displays Sharp freeform unleashes designers of car interiors, and it is a distinct advantage of the manufacturer.
