Immersive interaction enabled by innovative technology, unlocking infinite possibilities for smart cockpit, glasses-free 3D and the metaverse

With smart display being baked into daily life at a faster pace, BOE is striving to bring displays with more diverse features and forms to a wider range of scenarios and empower more immersive, interactive applications with innovative technologies. At SID Display Week 2023, a lot of visitors were attracted to get hands-on and interact with BOE's exhibits.

Through the fusion of world-leading display and AIoT technologies, BOE's first-of-its-kind smart cockpit has a 42.2-inch display and a 6.94-inch Camera Monitor System (CMS). The exterior, display, printed circuit board and software of the cockpit were all developed by BOE independently. The display features an ultrahigh resolution of 10K, a million-level contrast ratio and a 110% color gamut, delivering vibrant colors and a superb viewing experience. The under-display camera in the instrument panel comes with smart features that are both personalized and safe. Leveraging AI technology based on deep learning, it can accurately detect drowsiness, fatigue and other dangerous driver behaviors, and give warnings against such behaviors on the display. The peek-proof passenger display uses BOE's Smart View Control (SVC) solution, and the peek prevention switch can be controlled by both the driver and passenger as needed, making it easier to switch between privacy protection and sharing. Furthermore, the smart cockpit adopts the under-display vibration control technology, which enables more accurate operations and timely feedback and rids the driver of the need to look at the screen for a long time, thus creating a smarter, safer and more considerate travel experience. In the field of in-vehicle display, BOE also introduced a 15-inch slidable central display that fits well into the interior of the cockpit and can automatically go up or down in multiple modes, which is the first of its kind in the industry. BOE's 12.3-inch hidden Mini LED dual-display increases the screen brightness by 50% and has a realistic wood texture that blends well with the interior, affording the cockpit a hint of beauty and a high-tech touch.

BOE's futuristic display technologies and products gave the audiences not only a visual feast but also incredibly immersive, interactive experiences. The 32-inch nude optical field 3D display released by BOE for the first time has a large display information capacity, which can achieve retinal 3D display resolution, ultra-wide depth of field space and smooth motion parallax, bringing the audience immersive 3D experience. BOE's first-of-its-kind 8K glasses-free 3D display features a 4K resolution per eye, and uses the company's self-developed eye tracking technology to create amazing 3D effects. BOE's AR/VR products geared up for the metaverse also gained traction.
