Aptera Selects Tianma Display for Launch Edition Solar Electric Vehicle

Tianma, a global manufacturer of flat panel displays, has been selected as the supplier of the main touch-screen display in Aptera’s Launch Edition solar electric vehicle.

Aptera’s vehicle is equipped with 700 watts of integrated solar cells, which is expected to allow most drivers to enjoy daily use without ever needing to plug in to charge. The vehicle features up to 40 miles of solar-powered driving per day and the ability to travel up to 400 miles on a single charge.

Aptera selected Tianma’s 12.8-inch Full-HD ultra-wide viewing angle a-Si TFT-LCD module, with normal-black SFT and wide color gamut technologies. The module features a wide operation temperature range (-30 deg C to 80 deg C / -22 deg F to 176 deg F), with 980 nits luminance (typ.) and a 1400:1 contrast ratio. The capacitive touch panel (CTP) surface features anti-glare and anti-fingerprint treatment.

While advancing technological innovation, Tianma remains committed to green principles and actively promotes the development of low-carbon technologies. Throughout the entire lifecycle of product design, production, use, and disposal, Tianma implements green and low-carbon management techniques and evaluates product carbon footprints.
