What Happened
The holographic windshield display uses a special holographic optical element film laminated within the windshield glass to project driving information and infotainment images onto the driver and passenger eye level. It achieves a transmittance of over 92% and brightness exceeding 10,000 nits, ensuring clear visibility even in bright daylight. The system can also prevent the driver from viewing the passenger-side screen, allowing passengers to safely enjoy video and gaming while the car is moving.
