A Brief Discussion on the Application of New Source Optical Sapphire Glass in Automotive Interior Glass

Time:2025-12-18


Sapphire material has been widely used in the automotive HUD field (HUD module LCD screen is mainly sapphire cover glass) due to its high hardness (Mohs hardness 9, second only to diamond in hardness), high transparency, and wear resistance. But besides its application in HUD, sapphire glass also has many applications in automotive interior glass.

The glass of the car steering wheel buttons is the area where cars are frequently used. Sapphire material, with its Mohs hardness of up to level 9 and super abrasion resistance, can effectively resist scratches in daily use and maintain a long-lasting translucent texture. Its light transmittance exceeds 84%, perfectly combined with LED backlight technology, ensuring that button markings are clearly visible at night and significantly improving driving safety.

The center console area of a car is often the most concentrated place for vehicle buttons, usually integrating functions such as air conditioning control and multimedia control. The identification button glass refers to decorative glass or glossy patches covering the surface of functional buttons (such as air conditioning mode keys, volume adjustment keys, etc.). The use of sapphire material greatly enhances the texture and aesthetics of the identification button glass in the car's central control area. ‌
