I've developed a display calibration system that makes premium HUD (Head-Up Display) technology affordable by replacing expensive waveguide optics with calibrated LCD films.
The Breakthrough:
0.015px RMS accuracy using phone cameras
9-second calibration process
Eliminates $50,000+ professional calibration equipment
Makes $5 LCD films perform like $200 waveguide optics
How It Works: Traditional HUDs require complex waveguide optics costing $80-200 per unit. My technology enables cheap LCD films to achieve the same optical quality through subpixel-perfect calibration. The system uses phase-shift algorithms to measure and compensate for display imperfections, windshield curvature, and subpixel misalignment.
Technical Claims:
Better accuracy than professional calibration systems
Automatic RGB/Pentile detection (98% accuracy)
Handles perspective distortion and camera gamma
Production-ready implementation
Applications:
Automotive HUD systems (90% cost reduction)
VR/AR display calibration
Display manufacturing quality control
Mobile device calibration
The technology is patented and available for acquisition or exclusive licensing. Serious inquiries from automotive suppliers, display manufacturers, and VR companies.
