Continental to Supply V-Shaped Display for Hyundai New Kona

Continental announced on the 4th that it will supply V-shaped displays for the new Hyundai Motor Company Kona model released this year.

The Continental V-shaped display offers a two-in-one solution that integrates the instrument cluster and center display into one. The new Hyundai Kona features over-the-air (OTA) wireless software update capabilities, allowing the vehicle to maintain the latest functions and design through the V-shaped display.

The V-shaped display consists of two high-resolution flat display panels with backlighting. Optical bonding technology is applied to create a smooth V-shaped curved glass.

Continental adjusted the radius and angle of the display screen extending from the driver's seat to the center console to match the driver's line of sight. This allows the driver to comfortably view the necessary visual information from their seat. Through ergonomic design, all controls displayed on the screen can be used easily and conveniently.

Boris Mergel, Head of Continental Automotive UX Division, said, "This V-shaped display was developed and commercialized in less than a year through close collaboration with Hyundai Motor Company," adding, "Continental will continue to introduce next-generation large display solutions that enhance user experience."
