Jaguar Land Rover is adapting technology used in curved TVs and flexible wearables to develop cars that can be customized via touch screens.

The company is working on new applications of optoelectronics in a simplified architecture (LESA) and says the technology will allow it to build buttonless car interiors, wrap-around dashboards and even color-changing body panels, which are essentially giant curved AMOLED screens.

The technology, which uses circuits printed on nonmetallic materials, could also dramatically reduce the size and weight of in-vehicle electronics, making it possible to add more systems than normal, including extra displays and solar panels to keep them functional. Full power.

LESA virtually "unfolds" a part of a car, such as the steering wheel, into a two-dimensional structure by using computer-aided design software. The necessary circuits and components are mapped onto a plane and then virtually folded back into their original 3D form.

After the process is complete, parts can be manufactured using internal printed circuits.

Jaguar Land Rover used this technology to prototype an overhead control panel that is 60 percent lighter than traditional designs and 3.5 millimeters thicker than 50 millimeters.

It's unclear when the technology will appear in production cars, but the company has ambitious plans for it. Ashutosh Tomar, Jaguar Land Rover Electrical Research, said: "Industries such as healthcare, aerospace, consumer technology and military have taken full advantage of structural electronics, and our research has led the way in the automotive sector by introducing it into the cabin for the first time.
