JDI partners with Faurecia to integrate large displays in cars
The two companies will leverage their know-how and expertise so that the functionalities and design of large displays will be a key element of cockpit attractiveness.
“From the perspective of a display manufacturer we are looking at a very interesting and technology-driven future of the complete automotive market. Therefore the trend towards autonomous driving, and smart surfaces with a new way of living, requires a complete re-thinking of the possibilities and needs of all passengers in the vehicle. Our JDI-team, together with the Faurecia technology experts, has investigated and developed a completely awesome and first-in-class display, which will fit to every kind of new well-being scenarios the passengers will live, feel, see and enjoy in the future vehicles”, explained Oliver Burscher, Managing Director of the JDI Europe GmbH.
During CES 2019, Faurecia and JDI revealed a first illustration of their capabilities by showcasing a world premiere 32.1inches 6K display integrated into an instrument panel.
Drawing on advanced mechatronics, kinematics, materials and design to offer an optimized user experience, the instrument panel surface smoothly adapts its shape and the display moves according to the driving or autonomous mode. During driving mode, the display can be used as a driving cluster giving information and safety signals as well as offer a central screen for navigation and media. In autonomous mode, the display transforms into a large format entertainment screen. This combined with front seats that can swivel inwards, creates a new shared “onboard cinema” experience to share with all the family.
