SHENZHEN, China, Oct. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

A smart automobile is more than just a means of transportation in the modern

world. These vehicles serve as intelligent, connected "computers of mobility",

processing increasingly complex information that requires larger and more

abundant displays to present more data to the users.

Fueled by this tech-driven transformation, Goodix Technology extends its deep

expertise in automotive touch controllers for small- and medium-sized screens,

and further introduces a new single-chip solution GA687X that fully supports

large displays ranging from 12.3 to 27 inches, designed to enable a more

immersive in-vehicle experience for customers.

However, the growing size of infotainment touchscreens brings various

challenges due to the signal attenuation and the rise of noise. To guarantee

larger screens are responsive and sensitive to user touch, the GA687X chip

design is based on a customized high-performance processing core with multiple

innovative hardware-supported operators. It can reach a remarkable report rate

of up to 250Hz that is far beyond industry's average, achieving a minimum 10ms

response time to allow users to control functions without any latency. The

solution also features a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to dramatically boost

the display noise-resistant capability.

The reliability of automotive touchscreen controllers is fundamental to driving

safety, therefore GA687X equips Goodix's proprietary anti-interference

technology to achieve superior Electromagnetic Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)

performance. It satisfies CISPR 25 Class 5 EMI standard that international auto

manufacturers require to ensure the stable operation against various in-vehicle

electromagnetic interferences.        

Additionally, the solution boasts the world's leading capacitive loading

capability with an optimized chip design, and supports the evolving trend of

curved or special-shaped displays in future cockpits by adapting to different

screen stack-ups, including flexible AMOLED on-cell touchscreens.

Wide Adoption is Paving the Way for Ongoing Innovations

Touchscreens and touch keys are gradually replacing most of the physical

buttons as the irresistible evolution of intelligent vehicles continues.

According to data from Omdia, global shipments of automotive screens are

expected to reach 238 million units in 2030 with an average annual growth rate

of 6.5%, indicating a huge market potential for future growth of in-vehicle

touch products. And it is why Goodix has ramped up its R&D investment to seize

this booming opportunity.

With years of effort, Goodix is creating cutting-edge technologies for

human-vehicles interaction. Its high-performance automotive touch solution

series that supports the full range of screen sizes has met the requirements

for stringent automotive standards AEC-Q100 and IATF 16949, and is recognized

by global mainstream automotive customers in the Japanese, South Korean, US,

European and Chinese markets. Goodix will also keep investing in new solution

categories, such as MCU for touch keys, to accommodate the evolving design of

automotive user interfaces.

Aiming to enable a safer, more intelligent driving experience for global

customers, Goodix targets the automotive sector as one of the strategic markets

and continues to leverage other areas of world-leading expertise such as

innovative solutions for touch control, biometric authentication, wireless

connectivity, as well as voice and audio for an increasing number of automotive

applications.
