What if information were projected exactly where it’s best placed inside the car, on any kind of surface – leather, wood, glass, fabric – and even on complex-shape areas like the A-pillar, which cannot accommodate traditional display technologies.
Marelli and Infineon Technologies are working to put micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) laser beam scanning (LBS) technology into next generation interiors, enabling full-width head up displays, panoramic windshield projections, and new shared visual interfaces fully integrated into the cabin’s materials and geometry.
Marelli electronics and advanced innovation engineer Sebastien Hemard says, “As demand for large, high resolution displays increases and vehicle interiors evolve into connected, immersive and unobtrusive shared interfaces, we are creating cutting-edge solutions to project and display information in the cabin enabled by Infineon’s MEMS LBS technology. By combining this technology with our expertise in optics, electronics, and automotive system integration, we are developing a highly flexible and affordable projection system that enhances comfort and safety”.
And Infineon Senior Bizdev Manager Manuel Auer-Berger says, “With our MEMS LBS technology, any surface can be turned virtually into a high quality display. With Marelli we are bringing the unique features of our automotive-grade MEMS LBS chipset like energy efficiency, small size and the focus-free nature into different applications inside the cockpit”.
