Laser Diode Drivers (LDD)
LDD technology has evolved from driving DVD/CD/Blue-ray optical drives to include laser projection in smartphones, automotive head-up displays (HUDs) and pico projectors. Renesas has developed new LDDs for RGB scanning laser projection systems and laser-based pico projectors. Automotive HUDs are benefiting from big innovations in MEMS projection systems and are now central to advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and safety. The latest laser scanned-MEMS projection systems can provide higher resolution images and at a lower cost.
