Display Controllers: The key to seamless
user interactions By Deboleena Dutta, Junior Content Writer, Research Nester
he rapid growth of consumer electronics; smartphones, tablets, laptops and smart TVs, has significantly increased the consumer base for display controllers. With display resolutions advancing to 4K and 8K, along with high refresh rates and HDR support, the need for efficient display controllers
has intensified. OLED and micro-LED adoption is further pushing manufacturers to integrate high-performance controllers that can handle complex display functionalties while maintaining power efficiency. However, the application of display controllers is not limited to
consumer electronics. Several other industries are leveraging advanced display control technologies to enhance their systems.
Beyond consumer electronics: Expanding applications for display controllers While consumer electronics dominate display controller demand, other sectors are increasing integrating these components: • Automotive: Modern vehicles feature digital instrument clusters, infotainment systems and heads-up displays (HUDs), requiring advanced display controllers for real-time graphics rendering. For instance, Infineon’s Automotive PSoC Multitouch GENBXI enhances OLED and micro-LED displays with superior touch control, meeting automotive EMC standards for seamless HMI in smart mobility.
• Industrial & Medical Displays: Human-machine interfaces (His), industrial control panels and medical imaging systems rely on display controllers for high-resolution and low-latency output. In Aug 2022, Emerson’s PACSystems RXi HMI and Rockwell Automation’s FactoryTalk V13 enhance industrial displays with intuitive touch technology and advanced diagnostics, driving innovation in industrial and medical displays while expanding the display controllers Industry.
• Gaming & AR/VR: Te growing demand for AR/VR headsets and high-refresh-rate gaming monitors is driving advancements in display controllers. Tese controllers ensure low latency and smooth visuals, enhancing immersive experiences. With projections of 24.7 million VR headsets sold by 2028, this industry is rapidly expanding.
• Aerospace & Defence: Military -grade HUDs, cockpit displays and ruggedised screens require robust display controllers with high reliability and extended temperature tolerance. In this regard, in June 2023, Honeywell’s acquisition of Saab’ HUD assets enhance avionics offerings by integrating advanced display controllers. Tis partnership focuses on improving HUD reliability, situational awareness and operational efficiency, benefitting pilots and passengers with safer, more fuel-efficient and timely flights.
Market Dynamics: Growth driven by high-resolution displays Te display controller market is witnessing strong growth, driven by the increasing penetration of high-resolution displays across multiple industries. According to Research Nester Analysts, the size was assessed at USD 47.04 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12 per cent to reach USD 205.24 billion by the end of 2037.
