Active Windscreen™
   
 

The Active Windscreen™ is based on our outstanding 2D and 3D imaging display technologies and offer a range of fascinating func- tions never known before.

Technology
The basic technologies of the Active Windsreen are our:

  • electronic Laminated Safety/Security Glass™ (eLSG™),
  • Multimodal Multimedia User Interface™ (M³UI™), as well as
  • Space@Car™ with Augmented Reality (AR).

    Advantages
    The Active Windscreen provides many advantages that are not achievable with common display and projection technologies.
    As a display it solves the general problem of solutions based on projection technologies, because a projection system only works if no object blocks the light beam between the projector and the projection screen.
    Furthermore, due to the use of our Carbon Quantum dot Light-Emitting Diode™ (CQLED™) display technology, we can provide the most:

  • brilliant and
  • opaque

    imaging, which is not achievable with projection technologies.
    In addition, through the:

  • use of carbon allotropes for the
    • quantum dot diodes,
    • field-effect transistors, and
    • select, data, and power lines,
    as well as
  • special ways of construction

    of the display

  • a very high transparency,
  • extremely high resolutions,
  • very high refresh rates, and
  • a very low power consumption

    can be made possible with this perfect technology.

    Functionalities
    As an Advanced Head-Up Display™ (AHUD™) the range of func- tionalities of the Active Windscreen comprises:

  • common HUD,
  • HUD Plus™ and
  • HUD AR™,

    which all are able to present data with

  • 2D,
  • True 3D™ comformal, and
  • Pure 3D™ imaging,

    that are controlled by our Multimodal Multimedia User Interface™ (M³UI™) solutions, including for example our MultiKinetic™ techno- logy with body and eye tracking for gesture control of the screen and the applications.

    While the standard HUD presents data of the gauge on the screen, our HUD Plus™ adds graphics like virtual road signs and also data of the In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) system.
    A further variante is our HUD AR, that is based on our Space@Car concept and our Active Components™, specifically the Active Cam™ and the Active Sensor™, and in this way adds the full spectrum of AR techniques.

    Multimedia Application
    Especially interesting is the application based on the interplay of our Active Cam™ and our Active Sensor™, that adds the ability to drive without a clear view or even without a view at all due to for example

  • rain,
  • snow,
  • fog,
  • dazzling sunshine, or/and
  • darkness.

    In such a situation the Active Windscreen also shows the environ- mental data captured in real-time by the Active Sensors, so that the normal view is augmented or even fully synthesized in such a way, as if no bad wheather conditions or/and day times are existent at all. Practically, this also means that no wipers or headlights are needed at all.
