Interior Touch Sensor Module with Automotive Interior-matching Leather-look

Interior Touch Sensor Module with Automotive Interior-matching Leather-look

Hosiden is now joining the Perovskite solar cell business, the next-generation of solar cell technologies.

Based on global application of its high performance, high-quality technical and production expertise cultivated in touch panel products for automotive navigation center displays, Hosiden has been actively promoting touch sensor development by using various decorative and surface finishes which harmonize with vehicle interiors. This product release is a touch sensor module incorporating illumination and a Dead-Front sensor area that resembles leather, matching the vehicle interior. With a proximity detector incorporated into the capacitive touch sensor, holding out a hand over the module triggers the illuminated indication which shines through the module’s leather-like surface, enabling touch operation. To meet recent demands for complex cockpit instrumentation with numerous surrounding operational indications, “on-demand” displays that only appear when needed can reduce the onset of operational fatigue by being out of sight during driving, while contributing to improved design. Hosiden offers the sensor modules together with the application of three significant technologies: “High-reliability bonding,” “High-sensitivity design,” and “EMC countermeasures” to the artificial leather and cushion combination as its basic product configuration. Moreover, flexible customization is also available such as offering specialized module configurations including associated functionality (illumination modules, vibration transducers, and else), or else offering just specific design and technical support for this associated functionality, based on the customer needs. For such optimal proposals according to various cases including vehicle designs or the size of the mounting space, Hosiden’s general policy is to follow bespoke design requirements. Hosiden collaborates with its Tier1 partners for the leather-look surfaces, and also are planning to offer the product in collaboration with its interior and electrical component Tier1 manufacturers.



Product Name and Model Number

[Product Name]

Interior touch sensor module with automotive interior-matching leather-look

[Model Number]

HVE1281


Principal Features

・High sensitivity design allowing detection through a leather-look surface and translucent cushion

(Reference value: total thickness of surface and cushion: approx. 2mm (depending on the configuration and surrounding materials))

・Design and support for total configuration including the surface, sensor, illumination, and vibration alerting.

・Proximity detection function integrated into the touch sensor

(Reference value of proximity detection distance: approx. 5 cm
(depending on the detection area and the configuration of surroundings))

・Module type structure allowing partial mounting from the rear of a leather-look enclosure, thus realizing a seamless appearance

 

 



Application

・Improved ergonomics by placing navigation tools close-at-hand in vehicles (such as in arm rests, mid console).

・Replacement of conventional mechanical switch input devices to touch input devices that match well with interior designs (such as in instrumental panels, door trims, seats)





Production and Sales Plan

・No specific plan for the sample production start, price, or quantity as they are customized products.
