Visteon will exhibit several scalable HUD solutions targeting
all segments from entry-level to luxury vehicles, 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. Auto China 2016 will mark the debut of Visteon's
premium combiner HUD – considered a potential alternative to
windshield head-up displays for certain high-end
vehicles.
Visteon's exhibit is at E34A04 (between Hall E3 and E4) at the
China International Exhibition Center New Venue (Tianzhu).
Demonstrating the breadth of its core HUD capabilities, Visteon
is displaying four levels of combiner HUD that 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 – expanding head-up
technology beyond the luxury segment to mass-market vehicles.
"Combiner HUD brings head-up technology to mass-market vehicles
through a compact, affordable solution with a high-quality display,
and with that, Visteon can offer customized solutions to meet
expectations for different level products required by the
China market as well as global
customers, " said Bob Vallance,
customer business group lead.
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 grow at a cumulative annual rate of
more than 20 percent.
"Visteon's global electronics platform covers the full market
spectrum of HUD products, providing a strong foundation for
collaboration with automakers serving China and the global market," said
Matthew M. Cole, product development
head. This collaboration, he said, leads to developing upcoming
applications that satisfy driver information preferences, applying
the latest human-machine interaction (HMI) inputs and
interactions.
"In the future, we will continue 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," Cole said.
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.
