Hyundai Mobis is a subsidiary specializing in manufacturing auto parts for Hyundai and Kia. Recently, the company has cooperated with optical expert - Zeiss to develop a "hologram windshield display".
It is known that this technology will turn windshields into advanced 'head-up' screens that can replace digital clock clusters, entertainment information systems and front passenger screens, etc. In addition, because this is just a projection, customers using cars can also check information without taking their eyes off the road.
While this may seem like a distant dream, companies say the technology, which is only available in movies or commercials, is about to become a reality.
If all goes according to plan, mass production could begin in 2027. Hyundai Mobis also said that this hologram screen works thanks to a high-tech projector and a transparent film applied to the windshield. In particular, this film will be only about 100 micrometers thick, thinner than a human hair.
Preliminary product development has begun and this technology has recently been introduced to customers who are global domestic automakers.
Not only aiming to serve two Korean car manufacturers, Hyundai and Kia, Hyundai Mobis is also looking for new customers and at the same time pointed out that the global Holographic HUD market is expected to reach about 7 million units by 2030, becoming a new trend in the next generation of display.
Although the future of this product is still quite vague, Hyundai Mobis affirms that this is a significant step forward compared to current head-up screens and will create a more open and airy interior space for car models.
