The trend of "triple screen", where does equipment manufacturing go from here?
Focusing on nowadays, triple screen has become an important part of the car center controller, which not only improves the level of vehicle informationization and intelligence, but also greatly improves driving safety and comfort. More and more car manufacturers are equipping their own high-end models with triple screens. Correspondingly, in terms of the manufacturing process, the diversification of design and the complexity of the attached functions have put forward high requirements for the production equipment, process level, materials, and so on.
Overall, the process challenges faced by vehicle displays mainly cover the following aspects:
First of all, the larger the size of the on-board display, the more complex the manufacturing process, and accordingly, the higher the stability requirements of the process. Vehicle-mounted display needs to meet the extremely harsh environmental reliability and low failure rate requirements, but also to withstand the test of harsh environments, so the vehicle manufacturers of vehicle-mounted display production and processing also put forward higher requirements, high-precision production equipment as well as stable process can greatly improve the reliability of the display products.
Secondly, the irregularity of the vehicle display screen compared to cell phones, computers, TVs and other regular screen, cutting, laminating, de-bubbling, bonding, backlight assembly and other core process requirements are higher, advanced process equipment is the prerequisite for the perfect product and guarantee.
Finally, with the application of OLED and other display technologies in the car display, more flexible and thinner product form, will inevitably require the production process to enhance the production equipment iteration, sustained investment in research and development of new processes has become the core focus of the competition among car display suppliers.
In the face of the "triple screen" development trend, as well as equipment manufacturing process challenges. Equipment vendors and manufacturers represented by CECC Fenghua are actively exploring and continuously empowering the development of intelligent cockpit display equipment.
