Intelligent coating solutions for the automotive industry
Intelligent coating solutions for the automotive industry are becoming increasingly important with the rise of driver assistance systems and the growing emphasis on safety and comfort. Optical coated components, enabled by thin-film technology, play a pivotal role in enhancing the functionality of these systems: Thin-film coatings selectively reflect, filter and control light, enhancing the performance of driver assistance systems.
Optical coatings for environmental sensing
Optical sensors with high-performance coatings are integral to features such as distance measurement, lane change assistants, night vision systems, and intelligent headlamps. These high-tech technologies place high demands on optical components, for example in terms of imaging accuracy and resistance to external influences.
Thin films for head-up displays
Thin-film technology is utilised in HUDs for displaying vehicle data on the windshield. Coated optical components help reduce reflections, prevent double images, and enhance thermal resistance, improving visibility and usability for drivers. With over 25 years of experience in this field, we provide reliable solutions tailored to HUD applications.
Optical Technologies for LiDAR Applications
Optical sensors are essential for autonomous driving technologies like LiDAR. Coated sensors, including infrared and laser sensors, as well as camera-based systems, ensure accurate detection and measurement of surroundings, enhancing safety and comfort for autonomous vehicles. Reliable coating of these sensors is crucial for their functional integration and the success of autonomous driving.
