The emergence of folding screen mobile phones allows people to see the changes brought about by flexible display technology to the way of interaction. Flexible display screens that can fit on the surface of any object can make interaction ubiquitous. Now, the automotive industry is also being changed by flexible electronic technology. More and more flexible screens appear in the interior of cars, not only becoming the trendy language of interior design, but also as an interactive platform carrying intelligent driving systems, bringing drivers a safer and more comfortable driving experience. As a pioneer in the flexible electronics industry, Royole has joined hands with GAC Trumpchi to jointly create a stunning 1.2m penetrating curved central control display, which is mounted on the “Global Low Wind Resistance New Record Electric Ride” independently developed by GAC Trumpchi. Used car"-ENO.146 concept car.
This smart car with a “futuristic” appearance not only integrates a number of aerodynamic technologies from GAC Trumpchi Research Institute, but also has a drag coefficient (Cd) as low as 0.146, setting a new world record. The interior configuration of the car incorporates Royole’s cutting-edge flexible display technology, equipped with an avant-garde penetrating flexible central control display, and outlines the overall design style of the car with a minimalist line design, which saves interior space while creating the ultimate sports atmosphere.
This through-type flexible central control car screen from Royole not only makes the car interior design more avant-garde, but the flexible display also bids farewell to the "stripe frame" necessary for rigid screens, allowing the central control screen to be bent at any angle. Have more design space. At the same time, this flexible central control car screen also has touch function, which is convenient for the driver to simply control, and the thin and light screen can also support functions such as voice recognition and gesture recognition. In addition, ENO.146 is equipped with the ADiGO (Smart Driving Connected) ecosystem independently developed by GAC Trumpchi. According to GAC, the ecosystem includes the ADiGO autonomous driving system and the ADiGO intelligent IoT system. It is an intelligent driving interconnected ecosystem that integrates a smart factory ecology, an autonomous driving system, and an IoT system. Under the collocation of the flexible central control car screen and the ADiGo ecosystem, drivers can have richer interaction methods and a more comfortable driving experience.
In addition, Royole Technology and GAC Research Institute have also cooperated to develop transparent A-pillars with flexible displays to improve travel safety. The A-pillar has an important structural support function for the car, and has certain requirements on the hardness and structure of the material, but the small blind area created by the A-pillar in the driver's field of vision often leads to accidents. There have been car brands trying to design hollow A-pillars to eliminate blind areas of vision, but eventually gave up due to insufficient hollow structure strength.
Now the emergence of flexible screens makes transparent A-pillars possible: because the flexible screens are not restricted by rigid structures, they can be bent in any arc, stick the flexible screen on the A-pillar, and then use the camera system to take pictures of the field of view behind the A-pillar, and Real-time playback on the flexible screen allows the driver to "penetrate" the A-pillar and see the road conditions behind the A-pillar. The flexible screen can be fully attached to the surface of the A-pillar, blending with the overall shape and not appearing abrupt, improving safety while taking into account the driving experience.
With the development of the Internet of Things, 5G, and artificial intelligence technologies, China's automobile industry has entered a new era full of changes. Technologies such as the Internet of Vehicles and autonomous driving have become the new driving force for the development of the automotive industry, and the "smart cockpit" has become the focus of technological competition among many automotive companies. If technologies such as AI, 5G, and Internet of Vehicles are building the internal ecology of smart cockpits, then flexible electronic technologies represented by flexible display and flexible sensing are changing the interactive form of smart cockpits.
To realize the leading Royole technology in the field of flexible electronics, not only did it work with GAC to create flexible in-vehicle control panels and transparent A-pillars, but also explore the application possibilities of flexible electronic technology on car windows and seats. At the same time, with its strong technical strength and leading position in the field of flexible electronics, Royole Technology has also attracted cooperation with world-renowned auto brands such as French PSA and Toyota to explore the application of flexible electronics in the automotive field, bringing people smarter and more intelligent Comfortable and safer driving experience.
