Electrically activatable multilayer display film: BayerRecent Research Landscape

Standard display integration into automotive surfaces suffers from mechanical failure and poor visibility under high ambient light. These innovations engineer the active element architecture to ensure bistable switching reliability in mobile environments.

What technical problems is Bayer addressing in Electrically activatable multilayer display film?

Limited driver field of view

(27)evidences

Conventional dashboard displays require eyes-off-road time, creating safety hazards. Integrating projection units into the vehicle interior ensures critical data remains within the driver's primary field of view.

Inefficient external vehicle communication

(16)evidences

Conventional vehicle cabins lack sufficient dedicated surfaces for high-visibility information display without obstructing occupant space. Utilizing windows and interior components as active displays maximizes functional area and improves information accessibility.

Unintended display content occlusion

(11)evidences

High ambient light levels wash out information on reflective and head-up displays. Reducing glare and unwanted reflections ensures critical visual data remains legible to the operator.

Inflexible display spatial constraints

(10)evidences

Standard rigid displays cannot conform to curved or moving automotive interior surfaces. Overcoming these spatial and structural limitations allows for seamless information delivery in non-traditional vehicle geometries.

Driver information distraction

(8)evidences

External side mirrors create physical blind spots and aerodynamic drag. Replacing them with integrated camera-display systems restores the driver's field of view while reducing vehicle wind resistance.
