The Head-Up Display (HUD) market is one of the fast-growing categories in automotive applications. When this application goes out of the lab, in addition to image quality, such like MTF, distortion, relative illumination, or brightness, the straylight from sun becomes a realistic and important problem to solve. This webinar first introduces tools for the HUD design in OpticStudio and then focus on the straylight analysis. It will be discussed how to trace rays in a reverse manner to efficiently analyze the sun straylight paths. We will explain how to set up each light sources with correct brightness. Finally, an API Analysis tool is provided to users that can synthesize the images of both forward and backward ray-tracing.
