Abstract
This Frost & Sullivan research service titled Advances in Photonic
Technologies for the Automotive Industry provides an insight into the emerging
photonic-based display, communication, and sensor systems for the automotive
sector. The research analyzes the technology and market drivers, challenges,
and trends, which affect the growth of photonics technology in the automotive
industry. In this research, Frost & Sullivan' s expert analysts thoroughly
examine the following sectors: liquid crystal displays (LCDs), HUDs,
projection displays, complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image
sensor, charge coupled device (CCD) image sensor, media oriented transport
systems (MOST), and intelligent data bus (IDB)-1394 optical communication
protocols for automotive safety, comfort, multimedia, and infotainment systems.
This analysis is available through our Technical Insights Growth Partnership
Services program. With this program, clients receive industry-leading market
research such as this, along with technical and econometric data and many
interactive features including Analyst Inquiry Time and Client Councils.
