The harsh sunlight conditions in the automotive environment can make it difficult for drivers and passengers to read the contents of the cockpit display.And Visteon's TrueColor effectively overcomes brightness and glare to keep safety information legible.TrueColor Image Enhancement is a stand-alone, hardware/software based vehicle display solution.

The ISO15008 standard specifies minimum legibility requirements for characters, fonts and symbols displayed on vehicle displays.In bright ambient sunlight with strong reflections, the screen's legibility often deteriorates.But TrueColor can better meet that standard, improving the user experience and increasing the visibility of content.

Visteon's TrueColor is a dynamic algorithmic solution that improves readability across the display and is a proprietary integration of hardware and software components.TrueColor improves image quality without introducing unwanted color shifts or image artifacts.Safety indicators, brand design and fine details are still clearly visible in bright light.Also, TrueColor displays require less power than other technologies.

Jim Carpenter, Senior Director of Display Engineering, said: "Keeping cockpit displays legible in bright sunlight is a particular challenge. Drivers expect consistently high image quality from mobile phones and digital devices. Our TrueColor solution Keeps the display readable in bright sunlight. This integrated solution operates with seamless, continuous and instant precision. With TrueColor, drivers and passengers get excellent image quality in all lighting conditions.”
