Touch panel makers eye car-use applications
The car-use electronics market may be seeing some more “bling” soon. eTurbo Touch and Liyitec, both manufacturers of touch-screen products, expect to start marketing these LCD’s toward the automotive market soon. Nothing like having touch-screen in the back seat of that Lexus or Caddy Escalade, I tell you….
Touch panel makers are eying car-use applications, with both eTurbo Touch and Liyitec expecting wider adoption of touch panels from car manufacturers. Kim Wang, CEO of eTurbo Touch Technology, a Taiwan-based touch panel maker, indicated that the proportion of production of car-use electronic devices will rise to 30-40% of overall car manufacturing costs in the near future, up from around 10% currently, as car makers look to differentiate their products. In addition to applications such as the central control monitor and car-use navigation, Liyitec, another touch panel maker in Taiwan, expects LCD displays situated in the back seats of cars to add touch-panel functionality.
