3M solutions for Human Machine Interface (HMI)
Inspiration comes from everywhere. Material solutions come from 3M.
This is one of the most exciting times in the history of the automotive industry. Technology, safety and mobility are converging to power the future. At 3M, we work with leading OEMs, Tiers and display makers to help them make electronics lighter, less distracting, more durable and more efficient in the vehicle.
We're building on decades of experience and investing in the future to help equip vehicles with the best in information displays, driver monitoring, head-up displays, vehicle connectivity and user experience. Browse 3M solutions for automotive HMI applications below.
-
You can make more than a rearview mirror. Make a full-width, fully integrated eMirror. 3M delivers solutions that help solve your toughest automotive display design challenges: light manipulation and management, bonding, electromagnetic interference (EMI) prevention, thermal management and impact absorption.
-
Our array of optical films provides optimal visibility in most lighting conditions and covers the right area so you can improve thermal management, reduce energy consumption and provide a wider viewing angle.
-
Integrate, optimize and protect exterior automotive sensors and help drive the future of mobility. Explore 3M solutions for camera, radar, LiDAR and ultrasonic sensor systems.
-
Outfit electronic control units (ECUs) for the increase in functionality demanded by today’s vehicles. 3M solutions can help tackle design challenges like electromagnetic interference, thermal management and more.
-
Place sensors where you need for optimal driver monitoring performance while still delivering a enhanced driver experience. With 3M™ Sensor Camouflage Films, you can place infrared sensors where they work best while hiding them completely from the driver’s view.
