LAS VEGAS, and SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CES - Synaptics Incorporated (NASDAQ: SYNA), the leading developer of human interface solutions, today announced its innovative new TD7850 family of automotive touchscreen products are now sampling and have been selected by leading global display manufacturers, Tier-1s and OEMs for upcoming vehicle launches. Synaptics’ unique automotive TDDI solution combines a lower BOM and a simplified supply chain, with faster and easier integration for display manufacturers. Pioneered by Synaptics, our automotive TDDI solutions merge sophisticated touch and display technologies into a single chip, while enabling superior optical performance over conventional touchscreens.

“Synaptics is a key supplier with proven automotive display and touch experience and are currently capturing the majority of TDDI sockets globally. We have been a long-term provider of display drivers and touch controllers for automotive since 2010, with numerous brands and models on the road globally today using our technology. Our mission is to grow and sustain market share leadership of automotive displays by leveraging our unique features and unmatched performance,” said Sunil Thomas, general manager, Automotive Solutions at Synaptics.

The TD7850 leverages Synaptics’ image IP including our independent white-point feature that adjusts color hues (RGBCMY) and white points independent of each other, thus producing vivid images across display variations. Our unique display panel color matching feature adjusts color hues to identically match across displays within the same vehicle, as well as across vehicles and models so OEMs deliver a consistent user experience. Synaptics-enabled displays deliver the smoothest, most-natural color tones across the entire display, producing the reddest reds, greenest greens, bluest blues -- and every shade in between.

Synaptics automotive TDDI also ensures superior electromagnetic compliance (EMC) performance in the harsh automotive in-cabin environment with compliance in ISO11452 (EMC Susceptibility) and CISPR25 (EMC emissions).
