Slow morning at work, so I'll take this even further astray...

I can practically guarantee these are not the same display units, since I would be horrified if it were even the same display technology...

The displays used in cars are LCDs, which literally stands for Liquid Crystal Display, and they do not function well in harsh environments (e.g. temperature extremes). It can get mighty cold in space...

My bet is on OLED - but I am a total armchair "rocket scientist"
