Liquid crystal on-silicon head-up display (HUD) is a display technology that projects essential information directly onto a transparent screen within the user's line of sight. It enhances situational awareness by presenting data without requiring users to divert their attention from their primary view. The system uses high-resolution optics to deliver sharp and bright visuals under various lighting conditions. Its key advantage lies in improving reaction time and reducing cognitive load by providing intuitive, in-view information.
The main product types of liquid crystal on-silicon head-up display (HUD) include combiner head-up display (HUD) and windshield head-up display (HUD). A combiner head-up display (HUD) is a transparent panel that projects crucial driving or flight data into the driver's or pilot's field of vision while keeping the road or sky fully visible. It incorporates technologies such as augmented reality head-up display (AR HUD) and conventional head-up display (HUD) for applications in automotive, aviation, military and defense, and other sectors, serving various end users including original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the aftermarket.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs have influenced the liquid crystal on-silicon HUD market by affecting the import and export of high-precision optical components and electronic display modules. These tariffs have led to increased production costs and supply chain delays, particularly impacting automotive and aviation segments in regions like North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. While challenging for manufacturers relying on cross-border supply chains, tariffs have also encouraged local manufacturing and innovation in cost-optimized HUD solutions, offering opportunities to reduce dependency on foreign components.

The liquid crystal on-silicon head-up display (hud) market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.2 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing electric vehicle penetration, growth in autonomous driving technology, rising demand for ar-enhanced huds, expansion of connected and smart mobility ecosystems, advancements in optical display materials. Major trends in the forecast period include high-resolution hud optics, in-vehicle augmented information systems, cognitive load reduction interfaces, real-time situational awareness displays, integrated display sensor fusion.
The growing adoption of autonomous vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the liquid crystal on-silicon head-up display (HUD) market in the coming years. Autonomous vehicles are self-driving cars equipped with advanced sensors, artificial intelligence, and automated systems that enable navigation and operation with minimal or no human intervention. Their rising popularity is driven by these technologies, which reduce human error and enhance overall road safety. The increasing deployment of autonomous vehicles is boosting demand for liquid crystal on-silicon HUD systems, as they provide critical real-time information displays that allow passengers and remote operators to monitor vehicle status, navigation data, and safety alerts in advanced automotive interfaces. For example, in December 2024, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a US-based government agency, there will be an estimated 4.5 million self-driving vehicles on US roads by 2030. Therefore, the growing adoption of autonomous vehicles is fueling the growth of the liquid crystal on-silicon head-up display (HUD) market.
Leading companies in the liquid crystal on-silicon head-up display (HUD) market are focusing on developing innovative augmented reality (AR) HUD solutions to improve driver safety and navigation. AR head-up displays project digital information onto the real-world view, offering lane-level guidance, hazard alerts, and navigation overlays to support decision-making. For example, in June 2025, Huawei, a China-based technology company, and Xpeng, a China-based electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, launched the Chasing Light Panorama, an AR-HUD for Xpeng's G7 SUV. This system integrates Huawei's LCoS hardware and optical algorithms with Xpeng's imaging modules and AR composition engine, projecting navigation routes directly onto the road with brightness above 12,000 nits and 85% NTSC color coverage. The AR-HUD delivers lane guidance, blind spot warnings, and obstacle alerts, reducing the need for drivers to look away from the road and enhancing overall driving safety.
In October 2023, AUO, a Taiwan-based provider of display technologies and electronic components, acquired 100% equity in BHTC for $698.06 million (€600 million). This acquisition enables AUO to strengthen and expand its automotive display and smart-cockpit business, enhancing its capabilities in advanced display and HUD systems for vehicles. BHTC is a Germany-based provider of automotive cockpit electronics and display systems for OEMs.
