Sharp LCD heads for vehicles

Sharp has released a brand new 8″ LCD that could end up being installed in vehicles, featuring a luminescence of 500cd/m2 and a contrast ratio of 2,500 to 1. Chances are you will see this used to display various gauges that we see on our dashboard today, as well as perform a digital readout of the vehicle’s current temperature, a digital speedometer with numbers (just like the Honda Civic), or information concerning which radio station you’re tuning in to at the moment. This Sharp LCD display could be the only dashboard one ever needs, so you’ll know where to refer to at a glance should you need to glean crucial information concerning your vehicle at that moment. One thing’s for sure – the number of electronics in vehicles are getting more and more complicated, it seems that each trip to the mechanic ends up with me parting more money than I used to.
