Hyundai develops roll-up infotainment screens for cars

Hyundai Mobis claims it can roll up a screen as big as 30 inches into a small 4.7-inch space in the dashboard.

According to media reports, Hyundai Mobis is said to be developing a new in-car display technology in the form of roll-up screens. These new roll-up screens can be made to display as much or as little information as required based on the situation at hand.

Reports state that the advent of OLED technology has allowed displays to become flexible & bendable. While the technology has already made its way to smartphones and TV screens, Hyundai Mobis claims it is the first time the tech has been applied on an in-vehicle infotainment display.

With the new roll-up tech, screens can be hidden away in the dashboard when not in use, giving more freedom to designers. Also, the roll-up tech is customisable. So, when driving, only a small part of the screen can be shown displaying only the necessary information. However, when charging or parked, the entire screen can be rolled-up to access all the features and tech on offer. Hyundai Mobis claims it can roll up a screen as big as 30 inches into a small 4.7-inch space in the dashboard.

Hyundai Mobis stated that the tech has already attracted the interest of a number of customers worldwide. This suggests that the tech might not be limited to its parent company, Hyundai Motor Group. The company also mentioned that this tech is appealing, in particular, to European and North American luxury brands.
