At CES 2025, AUO and its automotive display subsidiary BHTC will showcase their Micro LED-based Smart Cockpit solutions. The exhibition, themed “Infinite Future, Unlimited Possibilities,” introduces a new era in mobility, aiming to create groundbreaking in-vehicle human-machine interactions (HMI). The Smart Cockpit 2025 features cutting-edge Micro LED technology that enhances both visual performance and interactive experiences, providing a fully immersive and boundless experience for vehicle occupants.
AUO’s Vision for the Future of Mobility
AUO’s Smart Cockpit 2025 integrates the power of Micro LED displays, intuitive human-machine engagement, and advanced in-vehicle computing technologies. The result is a seamless, highly interactive experience that elevates the way we engage with the vehicle. AUO’s solution integrates smart infotainment applications across various in-vehicle elements such as the sunroof, side windows, center console, and steering wheel. Micro LED displays enable large, transparent, and flexible solutions that redefine smart cockpit design.
Virtual Sky Canopy
AUO’s Virtual Sky Canopy integrates a large Micro LED sunroof display, which can also interact with the side windows, creating a panoramic, immersive theater-like experience. Additionally, the sunroof and side windows support adjustable transparency, offering an ideal balance between privacy, safety, and comfort. This technology allows for an immersive in-vehicle entertainment atmosphere while providing privacy protection and sun-shading capabilities.
Hidden Smart Driving Interface
In the field of instrument cluster displays, AUO presents the Hidden Smart Driving Interface, designed specifically for autonomous driving. In manual driving mode, the interface remains partially collapsed, displaying only essential driving information like speed and mileage. In autonomous driving mode, the Micro LED display fully expands to offer multimedia features such as audio/video entertainment, online shopping, and conference capabilities, making full use of the travel time.
Boundless Transparent Display Interface
AUO also introduces a Boundless Transparent Display Interface, integrating the dashboard, center console, and passenger side display into a seamless unit. This display can provide real-time vehicle status, navigation, and road conditions while remaining unobtrusive to the occupants’ view. It also supports personalized settings and integrates safety alerts, ensuring both convenience and security.
Transforming Center Console Display
In the center console area, AUO will showcase the Transforming Center Control Display — a Micro LED screen that demonstrates its stretchable nature. During use, the originally flat Micro LED panel dynamically rises and forms 3D physical buttons. This feature not only enhances the fluidity of human-machine interaction but also improves driving safety by providing intuitive controls for the user.
XR Interactive Smart Window
For the rear seat side window, AUO introduces the XR Interactive Smart Window, powered by AUO’s Automotive Computing Solution. This innovative application allows passengers to enjoy XR gaming and interact directly with the elements displayed on the window using simple gestures. This offers a more immersive AI-powered experience for all passengers, pushing the boundaries of in-vehicle entertainment.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Mobility
AUO is committed to prioritizing user-centric design in the rapidly evolving automotive sector. By combining its advanced Display HMI, In-Vehicle Computing, and AI-powered solutions, AUO is transforming the in-vehicle experience. These innovations will drive the future of smart mobility, empowering automotive companies to differentiate themselves and lead the market.
