Some premium OEMs ship today cars with OLED displays while LCDs are still the automotive workhorse. USPs of OLEDs compared to LCDs are no issues with response time at low temperature that is relevant for e-mirrors, perfect black at night ride and transparent versions. LCDs are superior in terms of highest luminance at acceptable halo by FALD technology and have a wide supply chain, which has also advantages in terms of cost. Well-known challenges of OLEDs deal with high luminance and temperature, which can result in reduced lifetime incl. Burn-In. Challenges and solutions for LCDs and OLEDs will be discussed. Micro-LEDs have the potential to outperform LCDs and OLEDs.
