New head-up display (HUD) technologies based on liquid-crystal display (LCD) scanning techniques promise to clear the way for smaller, lighter and more reliable hardware that will be capable of providing brighter images and new capabilities, according to manufacturers.

Makers are planning to move away from traditional cathode ray tube (CRT) projection techniques toward devices based on the LCD technology, which will mean less wieldy projection equipment installed in the cockpit and a crisper HUD picture.
