In the past, motorcycle instruments were mostly mechanical pointers or monochrome LCD screens with single functions and poor interactivity. However, driven by the wave of intelligence, modern riders’ demand for vehicle information, navigation, and entertainment has surged, and touchscreens have gradually become standard equipment on mid-to-high-end models.
Their advantages are obvious:
• Highly integrated information: Integrates speed, engine speed, navigation, tire pressure monitoring, riding modes, and other diverse data, simplifying complexity and improving information acquisition efficiency.
• Convenient and safe interaction: Supports multi-modal interaction including touch, gestures, and even voice, effectively reducing operational risks during riding.
• Personalized experience: Customizable UI interfaces and themes to suit different riding scenarios and personal aesthetic preferences.
Yet the popularization of motorcycle touchscreens has not been smooth sailing, as they face far more stringent challenges than automotive screens:
1. Extreme environments: Must operate stably under harsh conditions such as high and low temperatures, strong light, intense vibration, and rainwater erosion.
2. Safety first: Must eliminate accidental touches and ensure sensitive response even when wearing thick gloves.
3. Lifespan test: Must resist aging and yellowing for years of outdoor use while maintaining clear display.
4. Lightweight imperative: Motorcycles are highly weight-sensitive, so screens must strike a perfect balance between performance and weight reduction.
In response to the industry’s rigorous demands, VIA optronics delivers an innovative solution grounded in its expertise across two core technological fields:
𝟭. 𝗖𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝗵 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿: Our copper-metal mesh touch sensors for PCAP (projected capacitive) touch applications offer high-precision touch performance.
Effortless gloved touch: Enables precise and smooth operation even with thick professional riding gloves, greatly enhancing riding safety.
• Excellent flexibility: Superior bending resistance unlocks unlimited possibilities for curved motorcycle screens and future irregular instrument designs.
𝟮. 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆: VIA optronics offers the solution with the patented MaxVU™ process for optical bonding and the proprietary material VIA bond plus. The optical bonding technology eliminate all internal reflections. The result: high contrast ratio and exceptional readability in sunlight, while providing mechanical stability and preventing moisture particles between the display layers.
