Japan Display Inc. has developed an integrated console display for automotive applications. The Pixel Eyes display features a cover glass and integrated peripheral touch controls around the display.

In the new 10.2-inch Pixel Eyes product, a single IC controls both the active area touch functions and the peripheral touch controls around the display. This makes it possible to integrate automobile controls for air conditioning, radios, etc. into the display cover glass, allowing for easy integration of a car's input system into the cockpit.

Pixel Eyes products incorporate JDI's proprietary technology which integrates touch functionality into the display. They are already used in smartphones, and JDI plans to expand their usage to automotive applications. According to JDI, the displays offer a high touch sensitivity under various operating environments and reduce the optical reflections for improved visibility.

JDI will start sampling the new product in December, 2017.
