Abstract

In this chapter, several studies on reflective coatings using the sol–gel method are introduced, and, as one example, the combiner of selective reflective screen applied to automotive head-up display (HUD) system is described in detail, including optical design for the combiner, film composition, and manufacturing (sol–gel synthesis, coating preparation, patterning process, processing for the windshield, and durability evaluation). This is the first example of utilization of sol–gel thin film for car windows. An overview of the preparation of reflective coatings prepared by sol–gel process is also included in the chapter.
