With the continuous upgrading of smart cockpits, the rear-seat in-vehicle displays are required to meet higher standards in terms of display performance, structural form and interactive experience. Accurately grasping the development trend of the industry, HKC has officially launched its all-new 10.1-inch smart surface display, which is tailor-made for application scenarios such as rear-seat armrests in vehicles. Empowered by innovative structures and outstanding display performance, this product is set to inject more possibilities into smart cockpits. In addition, the product made its debut at the 2026 CES, alongside other new products in HKC’s in-vehicle display series, fully demonstrating HKC’s innovative strength and forward-looking layout in the in-vehicle display sector to industry partners worldwide.
This product is equipped with a metal-textured smart surface cover plate co-developed by HKC and Corning. As a core component deeply adapted to the display panel, it not only ensures high strength and durability of the product, but also achieves a delicate integration of exquisite texture and technological aesthetics. Its unique structural design supports vertical bending, enabling flexible adaptation to curved-surface application needs such as rear-seat armrest displays in vehicles. It realizes a more integrated and premium design expression within limited space, facilitating the integrated upgrading of the overall vehicle interior style.
In terms of display performance, this 10.1-inch smart surface display also delivers impressive results. Boasting a high contrast ratio of 1000:1, it presents clearer picture layers with well-defined details in dark areas. With a wide color gamut coverage of 75% NTSC, it restores colors naturally and realistically, satisfying the dual demands of multimedia entertainment and information display. Featuring a peak brightness of up to 1000 nits, the display remains clearly visible even under strong light conditions, comprehensively enhancing the user experience for rear-seat passengers.
In terms of interactive flexibility and viewing angle optimization, the product supports a maximum flip angle of 60°, effectively accommodating different sitting postures and usage scenarios for more flexible and convenient operation. Meanwhile, the cover plate has a CG light transmittance of over 70%, which ensures display brightness while reducing energy consumption, contributing to the efficiency optimization of the overall vehicle system.
With its innovative structural design, reliable material solution and well-balanced display performance, HKC’s 10.1-inch smart surface display will become a key option for the intelligent upgrading of vehicle rear seats, helping automakers build more differentiated and competitive smart cockpit solutions.
