Automotive Displays

Vacuum Coating Equipment & Technologies

Manufacturers of in‑vehicle displays and display cover glass need coating systems capable of depositing extremely uniform layers over long production cycles. These coatings must also ensure that displays meet demanding performance requirements throughout many years of operation.

We provide coating systems tailored to these needs, including the GC120V, which supports the deposition of a wide range of functional layers required for automotive applications.

Vehicle displays serve as both driver information instruments and infotainment interfaces. In many cases, several displays are combined into a single, seamless unit. Permanently integrated into the vehicle, they must deliver long‑term durability and maintain excellent visibility under varying lighting conditions and viewing angles. Head‑up displays add further complexity, using projection units that create virtual images and rely on semi‑transparent mirrors or windshields as optical components.

In addition, rearview mirrors are increasingly being replaced by display systems, and smart mirrors can dynamically adjust their reflectivity to reduce glare from following vehicles. These advanced functions require highly precise multifunctional optoelectronic layer stacks—often more than twelve layers—which must be deposited with exceptional uniformity.
