Technology Roadmap for Automotive Flexible Display

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Planning and Roadmapping Technological Innovations

Part of the book series: Innovation, Technology, and Knowledge Management ((ITKM))

Abstract

Flexible displays are thin, lightweight, unbreakable, and energy saving, which can be fabricated using the existing display manufacturing facilities, reducing the significant cost of building new facilities. In addition to displays, the flexible solution can be beneficial for a multitude of applications: automotive, medical, technical, and educational applications. The objective of this chapter is to develop a technology roadmap for flexible display technology. The research focuses on the application of flexible display in automotive industry. We will introduce market drivers, product, and technology analysis and also provide research on the necessary resources needed within R&D in the coming years. This chapter also presents tools like QFD – quality function deployment – matrix to perform the mapping between appropriate products and technologies. An extensive literature is conducted to gather information for the different layers of technology roadmap.
