OREANDA-NEWS. Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced that it has developed a prototype car display system with an optical engine that can project images on curved, oval or triangular screens to suit a wide range of car interiors.

The system's free-form screen responds flexibly to the increasing use of curves and other design features in car interiors. At the same time, its easy visibility helps to promote driving safety. The system incorporates display technologies that Mitsubishi Electric fostered through its development of rear-projection TVs as well as car electronics that withstand severe operating conditions, ensuring high quality and reliability.

Mitsubishi Electric's original curve-variable optical system projects images on screens of various shapes to minimize blur in screen areas with deep curves. The prototype system's single optical engine adapts to a wide range of surfaces, unlike conventional displays that require a designated optical engine designed for a screen's specific curves or shape.

Natural, distortion-free images are projected on curved, oval or triangular surfaces through a screen distortion adjustment process that predicts the distortion of images caused by complex curves, and adjusts visual signal input.
