Continental increases its investment in Digilens to nearly 18 percent. The supplier is working on future generations of head-up displays in partnership with the U.S. company.

Continental is increasing its investment in Digilens, a U.S. company in the field of holographic waveguide projection technology. The supplier has announced that following Series C financing talks, Continental will hold nearly 18 percent of the Silicon Valley-based firm. In this strategic partnership, both companies are developing a head-up display (HUD) that fulfils automotive requirements and which is now ready for industrialisation. Continental first invested in Digilens in 2016.

Waveguide technology can revolutionise the market

"By reducing the size of head-up displays, this waveguide technology truly holds the potential to revolutionize the market," declares Thorsten-Alexander Kern, Head of HUD Product Development at Continental’ Instrumentation & Driver HMI s business unit and member of the Digilens Board of Directors. "Seeing the first promising results, we are happy that we could increase our investment in Digilens and further work together in order to bring this exciting technology on the road."

In waveguide technology, the light is diffracted. This enables considerably larger projection surfaces while dramatically reducing the component size at the same time.
