Next-Generation Decorative Panel That Realizes Information Communication Function and Seamless Design

Abstract

DNP has developed a next-generation decorative panel that realizes an advanced seamless design and comfortable interior space. This panel can hide displays and operation switches and can show images and switches without changing the color of the original light source, which is difficult with conventional technology.

For display applications, we optimized the micropore diameter and pitch during micropore formation to eliminate moiré patterns and glare. Consequently, clear images can now be displayed, even on displays with resolutions of 200 dpi or higher. Currently, micro-LED (light emitting diode) s and mini-LED local dimming displays have been introduced instead of conventional LCD (liquid crystal display) s, which have high brightness, and they enable brightening only the necessary areas, making them extremely compatible with next-generation decorative panels.

In the future, this technology is expected to be applied not only in the interior space of automobiles but also in various situations, such as housing and home appliance industries.
