Automotive Displays

Vacuum Coating Equipment & Technologies

As a manufacturer of displays for vehicles or of display cover glasses, you are looking for coating systems that can deposit very homogeneous layers over long production cycles. In addition, these coatings must ensure that the displays meet high requirements over many years.

We offer coating systems tailored to your requirements, such as the GC120V. This enables you to deposit a wide variety of functional layers that are needed for applications in vehicles.

Vehicle displays serve both as driver instruments and infotainment monitors. In some cases, multiple displays are combined into a single display element. They are firmly installed in the vehicle and must meet high requirements for durability as well as reliable visibility of the content under various lighting conditions and viewing angles. Special projection devices are used for head-up displays, which generate virtual images and use semi-transparent mirrors or windshields as optical elements.

Additionally, rearview mirrors are increasingly used as displays, and smart mirrors can adjust their reflectivity to reduce glare from following vehicles. These functions require precise multifunctional optoelectronic layers (>12), which must be deposited with the highest uniformity.
