Abstract: A touch panel assembly adapted to reduce electromagnetic interference is disclosed. An electronic display is provided within a housing for an instrument panel of a vehicle. A resistive touch panel includes first and second independently operable, seamless grid sections and touch input receivers placed adjacent to the grid sections. A first input/output device in electronic communication with the display and associated with the first grid section and a second input/output device in electronic communication with the display and associated with the second grid section extends through at least one electromagnetically shielded channel that extends from within said housing to outside of said housing.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display (LCD) having a temperature regulation framework which utilizes a digital to analog converter. The thermal management system involves display heating controlled based on temperature values calculated for the center of the display.

Abstract: A resistive touch panel assembly is disclosed. An optical stack located within a housing includes an electronic display layer adapted to display an image and a resistive touch panel. A number of touch input receivers are placed adjacent to a first and second independently operable, grid sections which are located adjacent to one another in a seamless fashion. A number of input/output devices are in communication with the optical stack and extend through a channel comprising shielding.

Abstract: An electronic display assembly includes a display layer for displaying an image, a projected capacitive touch panel with touch input areas, each of which are independently operable and configured to receive touch input from a user. Input/output devices are electrically connected with the display layer touch panel. Software instructions, when executed, configure one or more processors to automatically begin utilizing a remaining operable input/output device if one of said input/output devices is rendered inoperable.
