BordcomputerDisplays

BordcomputerDisplays refers to screens used by a vehicle's onboard computer to present information to the driver and occupants. They can be integrated into the instrument cluster directly in front of the driver, or located in the central infotainment display, and some systems use a head-up display that projects data onto the windshield. The primary purpose is to convey essential vehicle parameters and navigation data in an easily readable form while driving.

Typical data shown includes vehicle speed, engine revolutions per minute, fuel level and estimated range, instantaneous and average fuel consumption, oil and coolant temperatures, battery voltage, tire pressure, and warning messages from the engine control unit or driver assistance systems. In addition, navigation directions, media playback information, climate control status, and trip data such as odometer and trip distance can be displayed. More advanced BordcomputerDisplays present driver-assistance information such as adaptive cruise control status, lane-keeping alerts, and parking guidance.

Technologies used range from traditional analog-style digital gauges to fully digital instrument clusters and central infotainment screens. Common display technologies are TFT LCD and OLED, with high-contrast, high-brightness panels and outdoor readability. Touchscreen input is common on infotainment displays, while some instrument clusters rely on physical controls or steering-wheel buttons. Heads-up displays project essential data onto the windshield.

Design considerations include readability, information hierarchy, color schemes, and brightness management to reduce distraction. Displays may be customizable, allowing different layouts and themes, and are often integrated with vehicle settings and telematics.

BordcomputerDisplays are standard in modern automobiles and are increasingly used in other vehicles to present status information and navigation data. Variants vary widely by manufacturer and model.
