Instead of a conventional car cockpit with switches and buttons, Visteon's concept car e-bee features novel driver interfaces in a "seamless design" with closed surfaces, formed edges and a "disappearing effect". As a development partner for the driver interfaces, BÖ-LA has developed a high-quality foil-backed display cover, which is subsequently connected to a multi-touch display by means of an "optical bonding process" and joined to form an FIM touch screen. The newly designed control element is characterised by its scratch-resistant and chemically resistant coating as well as its touch-sensitive surface, which combines many functions and is controlled via touch.

As early as the late 90s, the first series components with printed electronics rolled off the production line at BÖ-LA. In 2011, BÖ-LA went one step further and successfully combined printed electronics with Film-Insert-Molding (FIM) for the first time - the birth of Film-Insert-Molded-Electronics (FIM-E), so to speak.

By linking printed electronics and FIM technology, separate buttons and switches become superfluous. Instead, these are simply integrated into the closed surface in the form of a printed sensor system. The special feature of the demonstrator shown is that the decoration and the screen-printed conductor paths are combined on only one film. By means of Film- Insert-Molding, the conductor paths are embedded between the film and the injection molding compound and are thus protected from external influences. Another highlight is that the areas with functions can be backlit because our conductive tracks are transparent.
