The rapid development of the car navigation industry

With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, cars have gradually entered the family and become a must-have item for life. Some experts estimate that the growth rate of automobiles will have a more substantial upward trend in the next few years. As a GPS system for automotive electronic products, its huge market potential and immeasurable development prospects have enabled major home appliance giants to see business opportunities and have turned their attention to the automotive industry. The rapid development of the car navigation market, the navigation touch screen rises along the way.

The development of the car navigation technology industry benefits mainly from four aspects. First, the rapid development of road construction has injected a strong original driving force into the application of car navigation technology. Second, the development of electronic maps has brought traffic routes and the surrounding environment into visual and audible forms. Drivers' communication; Third, the development space provided by the car market; Fourth, policy support and macro-control provide a powerful guarantee for the development of car navigation technology.

It is understood that in 2004 the State Council issued the "Regulations on the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China." The regulations stipulate that: Passenger cars, heavy-duty trucks, and semi-trailer trucks used for highway operations should be installed and used in accordance with national standards. Recorder; In 2009, the State Council issued a plan for the adjustment and revitalization of the logistics industry, which put forward guiding ideology, scales, and targets for on-board navigation applications. From August 1, 2011, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology only installed the road transport vehicles. The new “two passengers and one dangerous” vehicle of the satellite terminal system technical requirements for vehicle terminal shall be notified by the product. The road transportation management department shall not issue a transportation permit for new vehicles that do not meet the standards for installing satellite positioning devices.

At this point, the policy concerning the GPS vehicle navigation industry has become quite clear. Governments at all levels and the competent departments encourage and encourage enterprises to actively participate in the development of road transportation safety by government agencies, build intelligent transportation, and create a harmonious society.

Future car navigation touch screen development

For car GPS navigators, the use of touch has become a standard, but due to the driving environment and outdoor light and high temperature, the touch sensitivity of resistive or capacitive car navigators often suffers from interference. So what are the trends in the future of car navigation touch screen technology? A: In-vehicle infrared touch screen products, this product uses cutting-edge infrared technology, bringing new touch experience, causing the media industry and consumers to pay close attention.

Some people point out that infrared technology is the mainstream development trend of car navigation touch screen products. The author can not help but think, when will this mainstream date be? The development of touch screen technology has been widely used in the market such as resistive touch screens, capacitive touch screens, and infrared touch screens. The resistance screen will drift for a long time and it will be very laborious to correct it. When the hand has no static electricity, the capacitive screen cannot be controlled. However, these phenomena have no pressure on the infrared screen.

First of all, the infrared touch screen has a high light transmittance: Compared with a display with a capacitive touch screen and a resistive touch screen, the screen is fuller in color, the contrast is better, and the user's visual comfort is improved;

Second, infrared touch screens do not require touch pressure and can be operated with gloves. Multi-touch up to 10 points, no matter what object you can touch. The daytime visibility in sunlight is high, power consumption is low, and the price is moderate. Compared to capacitive screens and resistive screens, the cost performance is very high.

Thirdly, the working and storage temperature meets all kinds of severe working conditions in the vehicle. In extremely cold and hot areas, users can control the flow of clouds and draw pictures with their hearts. Moreover, the response is high-speed and accurate, and the on-site experience is indeed the same, feeling smooth and rapid, compared to the resistance. Screen and capacitive screen have a winning posture.

The fourth point: Infrared touch screen anti-fouling and waterproof. Dirt less than 0.6mm is working properly. Even if the surface of this infrared screen is sprinkled with water, you can simply wipe it and it will work normally. It will not be affected at all.

In summary, the cost performance of infrared screens is very high, and all functions are very colorful. It is inevitable that mainstream products will become the future. However, it is not yet clear how long the products will become mature and popular.
