Instrument Clusters


The vehicle instrument cluster is required to provide drivers with a large and ever-increasing amount of information, with desired looks that match a vehicle’s design.

As a leading supplier of instrument clusters, DENSO develops sophisticated and unique products that convey information efficiently and safely with various configurations.


DENSO Technology – Leading the World

  • In 1984, DENSO introduced the world’s first digital cluster with digital indicator(s) into the market.
  • In 1989, DENSO introduced the world’s first black-face cluster with a uniform black background by covering the cluster with smoked acrylic glass.
  • In 1998, DENSO adopted the first electroluminescent (EL) display for instrument clusters.
  • In 1999, DENSO adopted the first transparent EL display for instrument clusters. The transparent EL display superimposes information such as driving conditions on the front of the black-face cluster.

Three-dimensional Display

Graduated Color Display


Benefits and Features

  • Multiple information displays capable of providing a variety of information
    • DENSO combines an EL display, navigation display, or television with the instrument clusters to provide drivers with an increasing amount of information.
  • Various configurations available
    • DENSO produced the world’s first three-dimensional display plate (see above), allowing instrument clusters to have various configurations.
    • DENSO’s printing technology allows us to create a display plate with graduated color (see above).
  • Precise and quiet analogue indicators
    • DENSO developed stepper motors that convert speed and other data into a readable form on the instrument clusters, achieving highly accurate and highly responsive analogue indicators.
  • High-luminance, long-life and low current-consumption light-emitting-diodes
  • High reliability
    • One-chip microcomputer controls all indicators of the instrument cluster.
    • Standardized software and/or structured software modules control the one-chip microcomputer.
