DELO has developed DELO PHOTOBOND UV acrylates for optoelectronics that reportedly enable fast and true-color bonding of holographic films manufactured by Covestro. The company reports that the automotive industry, among others, will benefit from rapid roll-to-roll manufacturing and better integration of the films into holographic end-use applications.
Augmented reality head-up displays (AR-HUDs) represent one of the most important future applications for holographic films such as Bayfol® HX from Covestro. As these films are integrated into the windshield, projections merge with reality so that the navigation appears to be displayed directly on the road. The films allow for brighter and larger images while reducing installation space.
