In the automotive industry, the use of IT has been progressing rapidly in recent years. In particular, the use of IT in car-mounted displays has been remarkable, and they are being used not only as screens to look at, but also as touch panels to operate.
In this article, we will introduce the cover glass used in car-mounted displays.
Question1What is a cover glass for car-mounted displays ?
When you get into a car, what is the first thing you do?
Many people probably set the air conditioning, listen to music, or use the car navigation system. In the past, the air conditioning and music volume were controlled using buttons and dials, but there is an increasing need to control these things using touch panels, just like smartphones and tablets.
In order to meet this need, AGC has developed cover glass for touch panel displays (car-mounted displays) for devices installed in automobiles. Our cover glass has been adopted for more than 100 vehicle models.
In the future, car-mounted displays will become larger and more sophisticated, and AGC is developing its products in line with this evolution.
Question2What kind of glass is used?
AGC's Dragontrail™ cover glass for electronic devices, which is used in smartphones and tablets, is also used in cover glass for car-mounted displays.
Question3What are the features of Dragontrail™?
Dragontrail™ has high strength to withstand pressure when pressed and excellent scratch resistance when subjected to impact.
Furthermore, it has excellent anti-reflective properties to prevent the screen from becoming difficult to see due to sunlight or indoor and in-car lighting, ensuring a clear view at all times.
In addition to the luxury that glass as a material provides, Dragontrail™ is valued for its coatings and decorative printing that make navigation functions and driver information display panels easy to see and operate.
AGC will continue to support your comfortable driving!
