Head-up Displays
Our Head-Up Displays (HUD) project the essential information directly into the driver’s field of vision without restricting it. The driver’s concentration remains on the road ahead, this not only contributes to higher safety, it also reduces eye fatigue by decreasing the demand of switching focus between the road and instruments.
Benefits
- Relevant information is moved to the driver’s field of vision
- Driver fatigue is reduced by removing the need to switch focus
- Safety is increased because the driver’s eyes remain on the road
- Had-up displays are a key technology in human-machine communication as they enhance safety and comfort
Windshield HUD
Projected directly on the windshield
Combiner HUD
Projected on a transparent surface independent of angle and geometery of the windshield
Scenic View HUD
A new driving experience with a razor-sharp, high-contrast and seamless display directly in the driver’s field of vision
Augmented Reality HUD
Seamless integration of warnings and messages in the surrounding

- 1000 cd/m² brightness
- Active area: 300mm x 58mm (typical)
- Projection distance ~1m
Augmented Reality (AR)
- In the near future augmented reality (AR) head-up displays will help to make driving even more comfortable and safe. Compared to traditional windshield HUD, the image is enriched with a layer of information right on the street in front of the car. When navigating, for example, a virtual symbol inserted precisely into the exterior view marks the route that the driver should follow on the road ahead.
- The waveguide technology is an innovative technology currently under development that will help realize head-up displays with drastically reduced packaging volume. It will need less space while at the same time providing a larger image with all the relevant information.
- The augmented reality HUD is a key technology for automated driving
The future Cockpit control improves the usage of software and hardware in accordance of a high level of operational security. This allows new business models and a rapid and efficient implementation of new functions.
The demand for new, more user-friendly displays, that help reduce the complexity of information, is rising because of the increasing traffic congestion and information density.
