Any product designed today that requires high-speed clocks can be troubled with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) compliance issues. This article outlines an electromagnetic (EM) field-oriented perspective for printed circuit board (PCB) design intended to help the reader pass electromagnetic interference (EMI) compliance testing the first time

In the automotive display system, TFT LCD displays dominate in the automotive display panel. Furthermore, OLED and micro-LED displays are drawing more and more attention in the market. The power techniques need to be developed for different display technologies. The edge-lit backlight and direct-lit backlight are commonly used in TFT LCD displays. The local dimming based on the direct-lit backlight with mini-LEDs is developed for improving the display performance. Although OLED displays are more common in smartphones, the automotive OLED and micro-LED displays are still in development. This article comprehensively describes the automotive display system and the power techniques.
