  • Invited Paper:Automotive-Grade Qualification for Quantum-Dot- Enhanced Liquid-Crystal Displays

    SID Symposium Digest of Technical Papers

    As the automotive world transitions from the connected car to the autonomous realm, the wider color-gamut displays are critical for safety as well as enhancing the customer experience.
    Harman and Samsung electronics collaborated to introduce for the first time automotive-grade cadmium-free quantum-dot light-emitting diode (QLED) technology in the auto markets.
    We demonstrated major break-through for the first time >100% NTSC (C.I.E 1936) color gamut for automotive display modules with…

    As the automotive world transitions from the connected car to the autonomous realm, the wider color-gamut displays are critical for safety as well as enhancing the customer experience.
    Harman and Samsung electronics collaborated to introduce for the first time automotive-grade cadmium-free quantum-dot light-emitting diode (QLED) technology in the auto markets.
    We demonstrated major break-through for the first time >100% NTSC (C.I.E 1936) color gamut for automotive display modules with luminance >1000nits for QLED automotive grade modules.
    Further, we developed, tested and validated QD material and film with barrier coating to meet and exceed all automotive reliability testing and qualification processes.
    We also improved, validated and qualified Blue LED with excellent luminance efficiency for automotive reliability conditions.

  • Invited Paper: Advances to In-Car Human Machine Interface Systems

    In proceedings of Symposium Vehicle Displays and Trends, SID Display Week, May 31-June 5, 2015 San Jose/CA

    Given recent trends, it is inevitable that there will be more and more computers in vehicles: built-in, brought-in, worn, etc. Many of these devices will want to interact with us—and we with them. If not designed and engineered appropriately, the user interfaces (UIs) of these devices may become increasingly complex and distracting to the driver. To avoid this, careful attention has to be paid to designing appropriate in-vehicle interaction methods and human-machine interfaces (HMIs). We…

    Given recent trends, it is inevitable that there will be more and more computers in vehicles: built-in, brought-in, worn, etc. Many of these devices will want to interact with us—and we with them. If not designed and engineered appropriately, the user interfaces (UIs) of these devices may become increasingly complex and distracting to the driver. To avoid this, careful attention has to be paid to designing appropriate in-vehicle interaction methods and human-machine interfaces (HMIs). We suggest that at this point, updates to in-vehicle HMIs cannot be just incremental, but have to be dramatic in order to reduce distraction and driver cognitive load. This paper will cover recent significant developments at Harman International that will be game-changing for in-car HMIs.

  • Red Dot Design Award 2021 - Health App Philips Sonicare

    Red Dot Design

    https://www.red-dot.org/project/philips-sonicare-16461-16458

    The Philips Sonicare app works together with the Philips connected toothbrushes to help users improve their technique over time and support optimal dental hygiene. The sensor data from the smart brush head is visualised in a 3D Mouth Map, showing where the user is brushing too little or applying too much pressure or motion. In a motivating manner, users can easily review their performance, set daily goals and track their…
