Local dimming (LD) has been selected as the next mainstream
display technology for automotive. The advantages over current
edge‐lit LCDs and AMOLEDs are significant. Nevertheless, there
are still many issues to be addressed. It must meet tough
automotive requirements and safety standards and display
automotive HMIs with high contrast and circular structures. The
fault tolerance with HMI is much lower compared to displaying
natural contents like that of TVs. Such an LD display is a tradeoff
between performance like power saving and visual quality at one
side and cost at other side. To lift this tradeoff, three methods need
to be worked on and combined.
