R-Car D3/D3e Automotive System-on-Chip (SoC) for 3D Graphics Cluster

Currently, the development for autonomous driving has progressed and the number of connections between the instrument cluster and various sensors, information, and control devices are increasing. This is leading to an increasing amount of information being displayed on the instrument cluster to realize, including information on the vicinity of the car during driving. At the same time, from the point of view of safety, the need for increased visibility is increasing, and it is necessary to render graphics smoothly. Also, due to advances in LCD display technology, the trends towards larger sizes, higher resolution, and lower costs in automotive LCD displays are progressing. As a result, 3D clusters are becoming more widely used in the instrument cluster field. Renesas has released the R-Car D3e automotive system SoC to address smooth rendering of high-quality 3D graphics and reduce development steps and costs, which are challenges for the development of entry-class 3D clusters.
