Delphi has demonstrated a concept dual-view integrated navigation radio system with advanced navigation and enhanced satellite radio features at the 2008 International Consumer Electronics Show at its exhibit at the Las Vegas Convention Center North Hall.
Dual-view navigation is a new product for which Delphi is leading the development. It allows a driver to view full-featured map-based navigation while the front seat passenger views video content. Delphi has designed this unique system so that the driver cannot view the video when the vehicle is operating. Specially placed sensors in the vehicle will disable the unit if the driver attempts to view video.
Using a special LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) that simultaneously displays different information depending on the direction from which screen is being viewed; the system superimposes a "parallax barrier" on an ordinary TFT (thin-film transistor) LCD screen. Delphi is also showing the dual-view technology on a rear seat video screen.
