Head-up Display
What is Head-up display?
Head-up display (HUD) projects essential driver information such as speed, warning signals, and indicator arrows for navigation onto the vehicle's windshield.
Features and benefits
01
The road your field of view
Thanks to the head-up display, we stay focused on the road as all the important information is displayed in front of you. (Speed, GPS, radio channel, etc.).
02
Safety
Contributes to reduce accident risks linked to distraction.
With the HUD, your speed is displayed next to the speed limit right in front of you to let you adjust your driving at any moment.
03
Driving quality
In complex traffic road, following GPS information becomes complicate; HUD shows GPS in your field of view, offering stressless driving conditions.
With HUD you can see and answer your calls without taking your eyes off the road.
04
Our expertise
AGC has a large experience with HUD windshields all over the world !
Technical information
01
Windshield design simulation
Thanks to our simulation tools and customer specifications, we can design a windshield numerically and return the most important parameters. This step is important because it reduces development time and costs while optimizing quality perception.
02
Ghost Images
To avoid the ghost image, we typically need to laminate a wedge PVB with a specific angle which is defined by the simulation. Other solutions exist within AGC to solve this problem.
03
Sheet by sheet forming
AGC invests in advanced process for glass bending !
For new HUD projects, we bend the glass with a proprietary sheet-by-sheet machine, leading to accurate and repeatable glass shape with high optical quality.
04
Quality control
To confirm values that we obtain with simulation tools, we use special control equipment to evaluate each windshield in the production line.
05
Support to our customer
AGC uses simulation tools to check the feasibility of the HUD project to reduce development risks and allow faster market launch; with our perception bench we build the specifications together with our customer.
