Spectralics is a developer of thin film optics designed to be placed next to the windshield of the car to create a very wide field of view.
History
2021: Attracting investment from Volvo Cars
At the end of November 2021 Swedish , the automaker Volvo Cars invested Israeli startup in Spectralics in the field of optics and imaging through its venture capital investments Volvo Cars Tech Fund division. Financial the terms of the transaction are not disclosed. It is known that Volvo will use the development of Spectralics to create windshields with. augmented reality
One of the main developments from Spectralics is a multilayer thin combiner, which is a new type of thin optical film applicable to transparent surfaces of any shape and size. Integrated into the windshield or windows of the car, the technology can be used to superimpose images on the glass. In a windshield configuration, the technology can create a projection display with a wide field of view that can create a sense of distance, since virtual objects are superimposed on the real environment for a safe and exciting experience, as noted in Spectralics. Among other potential applications of the technology are advanced filters for various applications, sensors in the car interior, blind front-view cameras and digital holographic projections.

The startup is a graduate of the MobilityXLab program in Gothenburg (Sweden) and part of the Drive network in Tel Aviv (Israel). Both programs are accelerators for promising companies with concepts that can become revolutionary in the mobility sector. Volvo Cars has been the main partner in both initiatives since 2017. Based on the experience of aerospace technology development, Spectralics develops hardware and software, modern visualization systems and optical systems, which allows to realize a wide range of advanced optical capabilities.[1]
