On April 18, Hyundai Mobis, the biggest auto parts manufacturer in South Korea, said that it had invented the world’s first rollable display for use in automobiles. According to a statement released by the company, the rollable display vanishes when the engine is turned off, and the screen moves vertically up and down depending on the circumstances of the drive.

According to the Yonhap news agency, the display expands to two-thirds of its normal size when navigation is being used and transforms into a full-screen mode when videos are being watched when the car is parked, or when it is being charged as an electric vehicle. The rollable display, which has already had some success in the consumer electronics industry thanks to its use in smartphones and televisions, is the product that Hyundai Mobis is hoping to secure orders for from high-end automobile manufacturers in North America and Europe.
Han Young-hoon, vice president in charge of Hyundai Mobis’ Electronics Convenience and Control (EC) business, said that the company is eager to use its unique technology to revolutionize the car display market. By establishing a new standard for innovative forms of information and entertainment technology, they will establish themselves as market leaders on a global scale.
A new growth engine in the in-vehicle infotainment sector has arisen, and it is the display technology that is used for in-car entertainment. The liquid crystal displays (LCDs) that are currently in use are being rapidly phased out in favor of plastic organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) of larger sizes, measuring 20 inches and more.
Because of this, Hyundai Mobis has spent the better part of the past two years concentrating on the development of a rollable display. In addition to Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Corporation, Hyundai Mobis is one of the most important subsidiaries that belong to the Hyundai Motor Group. The combined sales of Hyundai Motor and Kia make the company the third largest automaker in the world, behind only Toyota Motor and the Volkswagen Group.
