South Korea develops world’s first quantum dot car display

Local dimming, commonly found in quantum dot light-emitting diode TVs, allows dynamic backlight control in segmented zones to increase contrast and achieve truer blacks in each area of an image. This is especially important for automotive displays, where minimizing glare and maintaining clear visibility are essential for driver safety.

“Adapting quantum dot display technology — a mainstay in consumer electronics like TVs — for automotive use required significant custom engineering. For example, we had to ensure durability and performance under extreme conditions, as quantum dots can lose efficiency and stability at high temperatures,” said a Hyundai Mobis spokesperson.

OLED and quantum dot technologies are leading the charge in premium display applications across various devices, including TVs, smartphones and laptops. QLEDs are lauded for their brightness and…
