Connected 5G and Display Glass Innovation Unveiled at CES ACG Wideye Event
AGC's Innovative Glass Solutions Shine at CES 2024
In the bustling world of technology, AGC, a leading manufacturer of advanced materials, returned to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2024 for a second year, showcasing their groundbreaking innovations.
One of the star attractions was Wideye, an infrared, transparent, and high-optical performance automotive glass designed for advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous driving. AGC's goal with Wideye is to transform automotive glass from a simple barrier into a multi-functional component, driving innovation in mobility.
AGC's automotive display cover glass, which was the first of its kind introduced in the world, leverages advanced processing technology, quality, and strength to provide safety, high visibility, and superior aesthetics. This glass also features film deposition technologies such as anti-reflective and fingerprint-resistant coatings.
But the spotlight was not just on the display glass. AGC's 5G-compatible glass antennas, strategically used by Halo.Car, a Las Vegas-based EV driverless car service, have been instrumental in minimizing communication drops. These glass antennas, unique in their ability to be installed from the interior side of existing window glass, convert windows into antennas, ensuring seamless connectivity.
Halo.Car's incorporation of AGC's glass antennas marks a significant step in the future of autonomous driving. While the specific use of AGC's 5G-compatible glass antenna in Halo.Car's vehicles is yet to be publicly disclosed, it promises to revolutionize the way we travel.
AGC's commitment to innovation and development was evident at CES 2024, where thousands of visitors experienced their products first-hand. The company's Chief Technology Officer, Hideyuki Kurata, expressed his excitement about AGC's potential to shape the future of automotive technology.
In a world where technology is constantly evolving, AGC stands at the forefront, pushing boundaries and redefining what's possible. Their products, showcased at CES 2024, are a testament to their dedication to driving innovation in mobility and transforming the way we perceive and interact with technology.
