VueReal is using microLED technology applied through a printing-like process, to turn thin panels and even glass into lighting displays.
One of the most interesting applications is centered on glass. VueReal is laminating microLED displays directly into a vehicle’s front, side and rear glass. This enables identification and clearance/end-outline marker lights on large vehicles, for example, to move off the roof and into the windshield, reducing water leaks through roof holes and improving aerodynamics. Rear windows can display warning symbols when vehicles are disabled, and side windows can show messages for a pet or child left behind in the vehicle.
They also described embedding HUD and mirror information directly into glass instead of projecting light through thick stacks. Transparent displays make this possible; brightness and color are strong, while transparency can be tuned so the display nearly disappears when off.
VueReal is also working toward curved and wraparound designs, combining flat segments today and working on more flexible solutions. They are moving fast; automakers and suppliers can evaluate real hardware in weeks. Their manufacturing process, similar to printing, places microLEDs pixel by pixel.
VueReal is already collaborating with multiple partners like Flex-N-Gate, and exploring applications in exterior lighting.
Presently, the technology is about three to five times the cost of a conventional display.
