Enhanced Display Technology with OLED and Micro LED Drives the Market Growth

According to reports, the percentage of vehicles sold with a touch screen is more than 82%. The changes in display technologies within the automotive smart display market catalyze a transformative shift in vehicle interior design and functionality to become ever more sophisticated in orientation toward the user. At the same time, the front-end development of new display technologies like OLED and Micro LED is driving further advancements. OLED displays offer superior visual quality and broader design possibilities with their vivid colors, high contrast ratios, and flexibility. The impossible has been achieved somehow with Micro LED technology through tiny LEDs, unchallenged brightness, incredible energy efficiency, and a long life, with more brilliant displays and longevity in prospect. Flexible and curved displays are another quantum leap for designers, helping manufacturers place screens in some unconventional areas of the vehicle-like curved dashboards. This type of display increases the aesthetics of the vehicle and also makes it attractive which increases the demand for smart displays. Integration of smart displays in luxury cars is in great demand which drives the market for smart displays. According to the Economics Web Institute, total worldwide sales of premium luxury and sports cars amount to approximately 1.5 million units.

Another vital development in this direction is Head-Up Displays (HUDs), especially with the introduction of Augmented Reality (AR) recently. These AR HUDs cast critical information such as navigation directions and warnings onto the windshield directly, superimposed on the road view of the driver. This immediate presentation of relevant information enhances situational awareness and safety by reducing the need for drivers to look away from the road. The resolution and functionality of HUDs have been improving with each passing day, increasing the clarity and richness of the information displayed so that every-minute updates regarding real-time traffic are available, along with advanced notifications about driver assistance systems. Technologies for multi-touch and gesture control have transformed the way users interact with automotive displays. The smart displays now feature highly sensitive touchscreens that allow multi-touch input, along with haptic feedback, to allow intuitive and responsive control of in-car systems. Gesture recognition technology extends these control capabilities to enable simple hand movements by drivers to handle display functions, minimizing the use of physical buttons and driver distraction.

Integration of Artificial Intelligence Along with Augmented Reality Fuels the Market Growth

Artificial Intelligence is at the forefront of this transformation, highly enriching the functionality of automotive displays. AI algorithms learn user behavior and preference, thus allowing highly personalized user experiences. Besides, AI is a crucial part of predictive maintenance systems since it analyses data flowing from multiple in-vehicle sensors for forecasting the possibility of an issue long before it reaches a critical level. That is a proactive action, minimizing the probability of unexpected breakdowns of a vehicle and enhancing the reliability of such vehicles. Moreover, AI also refines voice and gesture control systems to make such interactions with vehicle interfaces more intuitive and natural. With more enhanced (Natural Language Processing) NLP, these jobs are facilitated much more precisely, while voice commands will become much more feasible, and gesture recognition technologies would even enable drivers to manage controls with simple hand movements to minimize distractions and improve safety.

Additionally, AR plays a vital role in driver assistance functions by visually indicating lane markings for easier negotiation through the most challenging road situations and by providing the necessary guides during lane changes. In parking scenarios, AR also provides the ability to overlay parking guides with obstacle detection onto the rear-view camera view to support drivers during parking maneuvers and in avoiding obstacles with more accuracy. There are many opportunities to make multi-screen sets-up, which include complex combinations of digital instrument clusters with central infotainment screens and rear-seat entertainment monitors that enable users to be more integrated and interactive. VR offers in-car rear-seat entertainment in the form of virtual movies, games, and interactive content that will turn that long, tedious ride into a much more enjoyable experience. In the future, smart displays will form the hub of communication between the passenger and the status of the vehicle, route information, and safety alerts as autonomous vehicles take to the roads.

Rising Concern About Cybersecurity Due to Increased Connectivity Restricts the Market Growth

The more connected the automotive smart display is, the more it becomes a potential target for cyberattacks. By exploiting vulnerabilities in the smart display, hackers could gain access to sensitive vehicle data, disrupt functionality, or even control vehicle systems remotely. This is where serious concerns regarding privacy protection arise since the collection and storage of personal and driving data involve risks. Another huge threat is the high investment cost in research and manufacturing of advanced display technologies. The integration of advanced technologies, such as OLED, AR HUDs, and AI-driven interfaces, demands heavy investment in research and development. In addition, it will be very costly to manufacture these components due to their complicated requirements and high-performance standards. These costs make the affordability of smart displays relatively low and thus could hurt their wide adoption, especially in the price-sensitive parts of the market.

It is often difficult to integrate new technologies with those already functioning. They pose a potential to dissipate more costs along with delays in implementation resulting from various issues in compatibility. The integration of smart displays with an autonomous driving system has significant technical challenges that must be overcome. It will be important to make sure displays communicate effectively the status and the various operation modes of the vehicle without misleading the driver or causing distraction. There is a risk that new technologies, particularly those perceived as complicated or unnecessary, will face significant resistance from consumers. Another issue is that these new advanced displays with many functionalities may eventually lead to a complicated user interface that can disappoint users if it is not intuitively designed. Ensuring smart displays are user-friendly and offer clear benefits is key to fostering consumer acceptance.

Continuous Innovation and Advancement in Technologies Propels the Market Growth

Recent automotive smart display developments include the move to OLED and Micro LED for better color accuracy. AI is making experiences even more personalized: automatically changing settings to driver’s preferences and predictive maintenance. Also, over-the-air updates (OTA) are becoming a standard for remote software enhancements. Multi-screen forms of display also have touch and haptic feedback, a priority that ensures display technology embraces the use of eco-friendly materials. The further growth of the Automotive Smart Display Market will be very much driven by technological advances, consumer demands, and regulatory requirements. In the future, it's expected that augmented reality displays, gesture control, and further advanced voice recognition may be integrated to increase user experience.

Moreover, the adoption of electric vehicles could also open up new prospects for these smart displays to integrate with larger ecosystems in vehicles. In January 2024, BOE Varitronix Limited, the automotive display division of BOE, showcased a variety of futuristic automotive display products and intelligent cockpit solutions at the Consumer Electronics Show. In May 2023, TCL CSOT, a company specializing in creating new technologies and innovations in the display sector, introduced more than 30 of its newest products and advanced technologies, over ten of which are world premieres, at Display Week.
