in vehicle displays

The in-dash display hardware itself: center-console touchscreens, digital instrument clusters, head-up and supplementary screens as physical information-presentation surfaces. Concerns the screen as a device, distinct from the content/functions shown on it such as media (infotainment) or route guidance (nav_systems), and distinct from how the interface is laid out (display_design in the hmi category).
