According to the NPD DisplaySearch 2012 AutomoTIve Displays Report, shipments of TFT-LCD panels used in automotive equipment such as car navigation and rear seat video players grew by 16% year-on-year to 49 million pieces in 2012 It increased to 70 million tablets in 2016. Such high growth is not surprising, because office workers spend about three hours a day on the road, and the car display has the advantages of convenience, safety and functionality, so the market demand for car panels continues to rise.
"Consumer demand drives smarter and higher-quality automotive products," said Hiroshi Hayase, deputy general manager of small and medium display research at NPD DisplaySearch. "Navigator, audio display, air conditioning control screen, rear view display, fuel gauge and speedometer Waiting for the driver to provide safe driving, fuel, and more convenient information. "

Another major factor in the rapid development of in-vehicle displays is the development of hybrid and electric vehicles, and the replacement of old models with passive matrix LCD screens has also greatly increased the market demand for in-vehicle displays.
Japan is still the largest producer of automotive TFT LCD panels, especially high-end automotive panels; the United States and Europe have made good progress in mid-range and small-sized automotive panels. In 2012, the Japanese display company was the largest in-vehicle TFT LCD manufacturer, and Sharp and LG Display were second and third, respectively. The demand for Japanese automotive TFT LCD panels is mainly driven by navigation manufacturers such as Panasonic, Alpine and Pioneer; while the US and European automotive panel markets are mainly driven by component manufacturers such as Continental AG, BP / Bosch, Ford and Johnson Controls Driven by.
"Interestingly, we found that Japan's in-vehicle display needs tend to be car navigation systems, while the United States and Europe prefer control panels." Hayase added, "In-vehicle display technology is used in more and more car panels and will Continue to develop in the future. "
