Dial & Pointer Cluster

The Background

ADS has proudly served as a pivotal supplier to the global instrument cluster market since backlit displays were developed over 40 years ago. ADS’s innovations stand out for their cutting-edge ‘secret-till-lit’ or dead-front technology, which enhances the aesthetic appeal while increasing the functionality.

The Solution

This particular example of applique technology elegantly combines this unique feature with a distinctively crafted cosmetic pattern, artfully designed to provide visual interest without obstructing the crucial visibility of warning lights when illuminated from behind.

The Outlook

Even with the advent of electronic displays a surprising number of new vehicles are still being developed with traditional or hybrid instrument clusters.
