LCDs in vehicles need to demonstrate high luminance and resolution while also saving on power usage – two features that may seem mutually exclusive. One solution is a local‐dimming matrix backlight, which can significantly improve the visual quality of automotive LCDs while also conserving power. This approach, combined with emerging micro/miniLED technology, should help make industrial implementation of higher quality automotive LCDs more feasible.
