Continental will be the supplier of advanced displays with OLED technology for an unknown global manufacturer. The components giant has won one of the juiciest supply contracts in recent years. High-resolution screens that will be ready for production in 2023, so the future model will arrive in the middle of the decade.
OLED technology has taken over the rear lighting systems in newer cars and also in the interior displays. Some LEDs, called organic, because they are capable of producing not only extremely bright light, but can also produce purer colors and.
