On June 27th, the 2025 Automotive Electronics Science & Technology Award Ceremony was grandly held in Shenzhen, China. Hardstone was honored with the “Outstanding Innovative Product Award” for its leading LCoS Waveguide AR HUD.
Recognized as one of the most authoritative honors in the automotive electronics industry, the award evaluates technological innovation and industrial impact against strict, objective criteria, serving as a key benchmark for industry excellence.
Amid the rapid evolution of intelligent cockpits, Hardstone continues to advance next-generation AR-HUD solutions by integrating LCoS display technology and waveguide optics.
Hardstone's automotive-grade LCoS PGU, developed through years of in-house R&D, delivers 2K resolution (with waveguide integration), over 120% sRGB color gamut, a 2000:1 contrast ratio, 400-lumen brightness, and over 90% brightness uniformity—providing industry-leading optical performance.
Through the deep integration of LCoS PGU and waveguide optics, Hardstone’s next-generation AR-HUD achieves a significant breakthrough in system miniaturization, integrating the full solution within a compact 6L form factor, while delivering a 2000:1 contrast ratio, a 15° × 9° FOV, a 20-meter VID, and a 223-inch virtual image—enabling more natural real–virtual fusion and a highly immersive AR interaction experience.
In parallel, Hardstone’s 55-inch Waveguide Light Field Display 2.0 further extends its innovation in compact immersive displays. Integrating LCoS, waveguide optics, and spatial imaging technologies, it delivers a 55-inch Full HD (1920×1080) virtual display in a <1L volume, with a 7.5-meter virtual image distance for a more natural viewing experience while reducing eye fatigue and motion discomfort.
Based on LCoS technology, Hardstone has established a diversified portfolio spanning AR-HUD, light field displays, virtual assistants, smart lighting, and panoramic roof entertainment systems, forming a comprehensive intelligent in-cabin display ecosystem.
Looking ahead, Hardstone will continue to expand the boundaries of in-vehicle display technologies and accelerate the shift from information display to spatial interaction, driving intelligent mobility toward a more immersive and intelligent future.
