Emphasis on safety systems amidst the shift toward semi-autonomous vehicles has led to in-vehicle sensing emerging as one of the main priorities for automotive innovators.
Driver distraction and drowsiness result in accidents that could be avoided with the assistance of sensing systems, which depend on visual and biometric indicators to keep hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.
Driver monitoring systems (DMS) and occupant monitoring systems (OMS) that utilize near-infrared light (wavelengths beyond human visual perception) supply unrestrictive, remote sensing of a person’s presence, eyelid movement, pupil position and gaze, as well as other indicators of driver alertness and occupant safety.
MicroLEDs continually demonstrate performance benefits for displays, including higher contrast and brightness, greater pixel density and wider color gamut. MicroLEDs facilitate enhanced visual performance in ambient light conditions, from complete darkness to broad daylight and when viewed from multiple viewing angles.
These characteristics make microLEDs particularly attractive for applications including mobile phones and smart-watches, automotive display panels, augmented and mixed reality (AR/MR) headsets and digital signage.
Manufacturing high quality microLED panels is a persistent challenge that often limits production efficiency. Before manufacturers can deliver commercially viable microLED display products, there are certain quality issues to consider.
