Together, we realize human-centered mobility, making Media Bar a truly iconic feature of AFEELA that enhances interactive user experience and personalization.”

AFEELA’s Media Bar exemplifies the transformative potential of display technology to reshape the relationship between people and mobility, and we look forward to future innovations through this partnership.”

AFEELA enhances communication and engagement between occupants, vehicles, and the surrounding environment. AUO is proud to support this significant achievement with its Micro LED Media Bar Solution, making it a compelling and distinguishing feature of AFEELA.

Vehicle occupants could engage with the outside world from within the cockpit by displaying personalized content on the media bar, such as videos, pictures, and unique messages. The media bar, as part of AFEELA, revolutionizes the way people interact with mobility.

Enhanced by the high contrast, brightness, resolution, and ultra-wide viewing angle of AUO’s Micro LED display, the Media Bar delivers outstanding visual performance even in harsh lighting conditions, while also delivering a sophisticated sense of elegance. By leveraging the flexible characteristics of Micro LED displays, AFEELA has achieved a breakthrough in design aesthetics, offering greater design freedom without the limitations of previous display technologies, and seamlessly integrating with AFEELA’s sleek lines.

The partnership between AUO and Sony Honda Mobility demonstrates their joint effort to make advanced technologies available for practical application. Their commitment to continuous innovation, with leading-edge human-centered design, aims to create a more user-friendly engaging experience for both of drivers and passengers.
