Visteon and BAE Systems, a global defense and security business,
are developing an industry-leading display image quality with a
compact and efficient optical design. Bringing BAE's
state-of-the-art aerospace technology to the automotive market,
Visteon is applying its expertise in electronics, mechanical design
and packaging, software, display integration, thermal and
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) management. Initial development
projects include both combiner and windshield head-up display
systems using a thin-film transistor (TFT) image source.
Focused on helping drivers manage cognitive workload, Visteon's
head-up display systems are designed to display different types of
critical information directly in the driver's line of sight.
Examples include vehicle speed, blind spot detection, turn-by-turn
navigation and collision avoidance warning.
"Visteon views head-up display technology a natural extension of
the current driver information and advanced HMI solutions we
provide to vehicle manufacturers around the world," said
Christian Feltgen, Visteon global
director of cockpit electronics. "We are excited to be able
to demonstrate this technology to our customers in the coming
months."
Today, Visteon develops driver information solutions, including
low-cost, mid-range and premium platforms that deliver critical
driver information while appealing to the increasing sophistication
expected by consumers. In addition, Visteon's multi-function center
display platforms and instrument cluster concepts combine Visteon's
strength in craftsmanship, design, human machine interaction (HMI)
and intelligent TFT display integration.
