Business Wire
Kyocera International, Inc. today announced a new line of
high-performance, high-resolution liquid-crystal display (LCD)
panels specifically designed for automotive Head-Up-Displays
(HUDs). These LCDs offer high light transmittance, high resolution,
and the industry’s widest operating temperature range for optimal
performance in automotive HUD applications.

HUD: Extreme Operating Requirements
Developed originally for defense aircraft, HUD technology can
improve automotive safety and reduce driver fatigue by projecting
vehicle speed, navigation and other data directly onto a car’s
windshield – where drivers can view it in their line of sight. This
requires a display that performs well in lighting conditions
ranging from full sunlight to total darkness. Additionally, since
data and images are scaled up when projected onto a windshield, HUD
technology requires high-resolution imaging to allow enlargement
with no perceptible loss of detail or sharpness. Meeting these
requirements in the automotive environment requires imaging
components that deliver exceptional luminance, contrast and pixel
density, with an extremely wide operating temperature range, since
vehicles may travel to the coldest and hottest climates on
Earth.
KYOCERA’s Advanced HUD Technology
Kyocera’s new HUD LCDs provide light transmittance up to an
ultra-high 8.5%, and typical contrast ratios of up to 1700:1. Their
low temperature polysilicon technology delivers pixel density of
approximately 300ppi – about twice that of conventional LCDs – and
an 85-degree viewing angle* with no color shift, through Kyocera’s
Advanced Wide Viewing technology (AWVII). Additionally, Kyocera HUD
LCDs offer an operating temperature range of -40ºC to +105ºC, the
broadest currently available among automotive displays.
“Kyocera brings four decades of LCD innovation to the automotive
engineer’s unique challenges when integrating HUD technology into
any vehicle platform,” said Kazuaki Ohara, manager of Kyocera’s
automotive display sales division. “We are partnering with tier-one
automotive brands to help bring this exciting new technology into
all vehicles.”
Kyocera is a preferred supplier of high-performance LCD displays
for automotive, industrial and medical equipment. All Kyocera
TFT-LCDs are RoHS compliant to reduce or eliminate potentially
hazardous substances. Please visit www.kyocera-display.com, call
