Technology trend of cover glass for automotive displays

Abstract

In recent years, the tendency to use glass as a cover material of automotive displays is accelerating due to its high durability and attractive appearance. When used as an in-vehicle application, properties such as high reliability and anti-glare property are required in addition to the properties required for tablets and smartphones. By selecting a glass composition with high weather ability and easy chemical strengthening, it was possible to achieve both strength and reliability for the first time. By forming the anti-glare structure and the anti-reflection coating on the substrate surface, the visibility of the display image could be greatly improved. From these verifications it was possible to clarify design guidelines for automotive cover glasses.
