Laser Scanning Projection Engine can display a wide array of diverse and complex driving and vehicle data on the windshield, the rear view mirror, the side view mirror, or the instrument panel. With the flexible options of placing critical information on various locations, it ensures that the drivers will see and react to vital data in a timely manner and shorten their response time to the unexpected in order to prevent accidents. Hence, safety is more secured for all while on road.
Head-Up Display (HUD)
Automotive Head-Up Displays (HUDs) project essential visual information such as driving directions, vehicle speed, engine parameters, as well as various alarms onto the windshield of the vehicle. Most importantly, presenting key information directly into his/her field of vision allows the driver to maintain an uninterrupted focus on the road and yet be instantly alerted of happenings in and around the vehicle. This also reduces driver fatigue.
ALViS’ innovative patented blue LPD projector is capable of projecting sharp streaming video imaging on any transparent medium. It can display data and moving pictures on windshield with unprecedented resolution, brightness, and transparency. Critical constraints on the viewing angle and daytime clarity/readability issue had been successfully addressed. Furthermore, besides projecting conventional driving data, it can be extended to integrate GPS navigation directions, enhanced road vision, night vision, and rear view systems.

Instrument Cluster Display
Instrument Cluster Display
With the laser scanning projection engine, design for vehicle cockpit displays has become more versatile and creative. Aside from the usual information provided such as speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, and odometer, the instrument cluster can now be designed to offer drivers dynamic, customized, and vivid driving information in ways that can be even more pleasing and fun to view.
