Samsung’s display subsidiary has confirmed that it is exclusively supplying four OLED displays for the Ferrari Luce — Ferrari’s first EV unveiled at Ferrari’s World Premiere event in Italy.
The panels covering three interior zones across the supercar’s cockpit, the most technically significant element is the driver’s binnacle, which uses the industry’s first multi-layered OLED display structure. A 12.9-inch upper OLED panel and a 12-inch lower panel are stacked together, with three circular cutouts in the upper layer exposing the display beneath. The lower panel renders background gauges and indexes; the upper handles real-time torque-shift indicators, pop-ups, and tell-tales. Physical mechanical hands move within the gap between the two panels, replicating analogue instrument behaviour.
Samsung Display achieved this design by implementing proprietary HIAA (Hole in Active Area) technology. The binnacle hole measures approximately 100mm in diameter, roughly 20 times larger than a typical smartphone front-camera cutout. Thin Film Encapsulation protects the OLED materials at the cut edges, while signal routing around the opening was optimised to prevent image distortion or latency.
HIAA technology also features in the 10.1-inch central control panel display, where three mechanical hands mounted through small perforations rotate 360 degrees in real time. A 6.3-inch OLED handles the rear passenger climate and information panel.
