Conventional Modbus HMI displays are often too large for many applications. It is not always necessary to display complete systems on a large monitor. It is often sufficient to have an overview of the most important parameters and to be able to make individual settings.
For the first time, DISPLAY VISIONS is offering compact and ultra-small HMIs with full Modbus compatibility. The smallest displays currently available measure just 2.8", 4.3" and 7" diagonally, but are all equipped with a Modbus RTU/TCP for RS-485, LAN and WiFi.
These operating units were developed by a display manufacturer with decades of experience in this field. It is therefore not surprising that the devices stand out on the market with their unique display quality. The brightness is an extremely bright 1000 cd/m2 and the viewing angle of these displays is not restricted in any way. In addition, a modern touch panel is already integrated in the standard version. Mounting on a wall or integration into a housing or door is super-easy.
These HMIs are significantly cheaper than other displays with Modbus available on the market.

1. Driving safety:
Traditional dashboards require drivers to look down, causing distractions. The IRIS HUD projects key driving information, such as navigation and speed, directly onto the windshield. This allows drivers to access necessary information without looking away from the road, thereby enhancing driving safety.
2. Enhance driving experience:
Beyond safety, the IRIS HUD improves the driving experience by providing a more direct and immersive visualization of information. For example, navigation instructions are projected onto the windshield, offering clear, real-time guidance. This intuitive and immersive interface enhances driving enjoyment while improving awareness and judgment of road conditions.
3. Optimize information display and interaction:
The IRIS HUD uses high-brightness and high-image projection technology to ensure clear visibility in various lighting conditions. It also supports multiple interaction methods, such as gesture operations and voice commands, making it easier for drivers to interact with the system. This intelligent interaction enhances driving convenience and reduces operational complexity.
In summary, the IRIS HUD addresses key challenges in traditional driving systems, such as visual distractions and limited interaction. By solving these issues, it enhances safety, improves the driving experience, and drives the innovation of automotive technology.

The Safety Key works as an input device with increased reliability compared to a single key in PCAP (Projected CAPacitive touch) technology. To increase the reliability, two complete separate channels are installed in the electronics to evaluate the sensors separately. The results of them are combined in the latest stage and deliver a positive result in the case of coincident touch events only.
The Safety Key claims the following aspects: two different touch technologies are combined to get a reliable input for critical systems, e.g. the power or trigger switch of a medical device. There are no mechanical moving parts. Furthermore, the surface covering the function is the same which is the front cover glass of the instrument. The Safety Key not only eliminates the need for a separate section in the front panel but also avoids the breakthrough mounting a traditional switch would require.
Therefore, the devices‘ surface can consist of one glass panel with flush integration. Flush integration is desirable for ease of cleaning or disinfecting for medical use. The Safety Keys‘ surface can be formed to guide the user, e.g. by a hollow for the finger tip, or a specific roughness for a better haptic experience. If this is not sufficient, a haptic actuator can be placed directly behind and issue a haptic confirmation pattern in case of successful touch event. The detection of each of the touch events is performed by two independent systems. Only after both of them indicate a positive touch event, the signal is forwarded to the succeeding system.
