VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich.,
Jan. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Global
cockpit electronics supplier Visteon Corporation (NYSE: VC), will
show a full range of head-up display (HUD) solutions for vehicles
at the 2016 International CES®, Central Plaza (CP20) at the
Las Vegas Convention Center from
Jan. 6-9.
Visteon will exhibit several scalable HUD solutions targeting
all segments – from entry-level to luxury vehicles – with global
market appeal, including its range of first-to-market combiner
HUDs, which project a virtual image in front of the driver using a
transparent screen mounted on top of the instrument panel. Combiner
HUD brings head-up technology to mass-market vehicles through a
compact, affordable solution with a high-quality display.
Designed to keep the driver's attention on the road, HUD
applications are gaining popularity as a preferred interface for
vital information, such as vehicle speed and warning messages, to
be displayed as a virtual image directly in the driver's field of
vision. Affordable technology solutions, the adoption of
adaptive driver assistance systems (ADAS), and consumer demand for
safety are bringing HUD applications into mass-market vehicles –
creating a segment that is projected to register a cumulative
annual growth rate of more than 20 percent.
Demonstrating the breadth of Visteon's core HUD capabilities,
the range of market-proven combiner HUD solutions incorporate
kinematics concepts adapting to size and movement of the screen,
leading-edge picture-generation units (PGUs), optical design and
high image quality in a compact package. Addressing current and
upcoming applications in the luxury vehicle segment, Visteon's
advanced windshield HUD features large mirrors technology for a
wide field of vision and a seamless human machine interaction (HMI)
with contextual information and visuals.
Following the successful launch of the first combiner HUD
product, Visteon continues to invest to grow core competencies for
future HUD developments, including virtual imaging, backlighting
and opto-mechanical design capabilities, as well as kinematics
system integration, allowing for improvements of optical quality
and product robustness.
"Visteon's global electronics platform covers the full market
spectrum of HUD products, providing a strong foundation for
collaboration with automakers on upcoming applications, defining
driver information preferences and HMI input and interaction," said
Patrick Nebout, director, advanced
technology and innovation for Visteon.
Four Levels of Combiner HUD
Visteon is displaying multiple HUD applications at CES,
including four levels of combiner HUD that expand head-up
technology beyond the luxury segment to mass-market vehicles:
- For emerging markets – This HUD delivers critical
information to the driver cost efficiently, using no kinematics,
through a compact field of view and limited color definition.
- For entry-level applications requiring an economical
solution – This HUD adds kinematics and full-color display in a
compact package with good optical quality.
- For small- to medium-sized vehicles – This advanced HUD
solution features increased optical quality and enhanced
craftsmanship in a compact package.
- For high-end and luxury vehicles – This HUD incorporates
a larger display surface, increased brightness and superior
execution, providing an attractive, affordable solution for this
segment.
Visteon plans to launch its latest combiner HUD solutions with a
number of automakers in the Asian and European markets during the
2016 and 2017 model years.
Windshield HUD
Visteon is demonstrating an advanced windshield HUD application
on a C-segment vehicle at its CES exhibit. This HUD has an
extra-large image with robust color, contrast and brightness to
enhance content and the user's experience. The wide-field image –
about twice the size of a normal windshield HUD – allows the driver
to see information not usually displayed in HUD systems, such as
menus for music, multimedia and simple maps.
