The new hyperscreen will be made of a single pane of glass.
At CES 2022, Mercedes Benz showed its astonishing vision for the future of electric mobility with the Vision EQXX concept car. It claimed a range of 1,000 km, the lowest drag coefficient in a car, futuristic facing durable materials and space-age infotainment technology. Notably, it had a 47.5-inch Hyper Screen made up of a single pane of glass extending horizontally across the dashboard. Now, Mercedes has revealed that LG was behind the screen and that it will take advantage of the same technology in the next-generation EQS that will debut later this year.
Mercedes and LG call it Pillar to Pillar Screen which also features a new human-machine interface. It uses LG’s IVI system which was specially designed for Mercedes and a curved glass was made for the same. LG claims that it is pushing the limits of what can be achieved with state-of-the-art display technology.
“It is an honor and privilege to be able to work closely with such a trusted partner as Mercedes-Benz AG,” said Yoon Seok-hyun, President, LG Vehicle Component Solutions Company.
“Having been named as a valued supplier of automotive displays by Mercedes-Benz AG last year, we are extremely proud to know that the partnership is showing great results,” he added.
