A new display technology is presented in order to improve the value of automotive systems which use displays; such as navigation systems and future communication systems. Displays are becoming crucial to making the systems complete and user-friendly. A full-color antiferroelectric liquid crystal display has been developed featuring excellent display image quality and wide viewing angle characteristics. The antiferroelectric liquid crystal display has a completely different operation principle from any other LCD and makes it possible to realize image quality which is comparable to TFT-LCDs with a simple matrix structure.

A new type of liquid crystal anti-glare mirror which satisfies the fail-safe condition, i.e. when electrical power supply of a mirror control is broken, the non-anti-glaring normal mode is always maintained has been developed. While, a conventional liquid crystal anti-glare mirror does not satisfy this fail-safe condition. The development of our new type mirror was supported by our improved surface treatment technique for the perpendicular alignments.
