About Futurus Technology

Futurus Technology, established in 2015 by founder and CEO Junfeng Xu, is a high-tech company headquartered in Beijing, China, that concentrates on advanced display technologies for the automotive sector. Xu, who holds Master's and is a PhD candidate in Physics from Nanjing University, previously held positions at Foxconn and Laird Technologies before founding Futurus. The company has secured significant funding through multiple rounds, including a Series A in 2019 and subsequent B rounds, from investors like Cathay Capital, SBCVC, CICC, and CCB Investment.

The core of Futurus Technology's business is the design and manufacturing of Head-Up Displays (HUDs) for vehicles. Its product portfolio serves original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and includes a range of HUDs from aftermarket solutions to factory-installed units. The offerings cover various product lines such as WHUD (Windshield HUD) and more advanced AR-HUD (Augmented Reality HUD), which are designed to be compatible with autonomous driving levels from L2 to L5. The company's proprietary technologies include a real-time rendering engine called AR Kernel®, which ensures high frame rates and precise alignment of the display with the real-world environment. This technology aims to enhance driving safety and experience by projecting contextual information, such as navigation and potential hazards, directly onto the windshield.

Futurus operates in the rapidly growing automotive electronics market and supplies its technology to prominent car manufacturers including BMW, Audi, SAIC, and NIO. The company has demonstrated significant market traction, reporting that it captured 10.6% of the domestic HUD market share in China in 2023 and ranked first in the high-end segment. Futurus has established intelligent production bases in Beijing and Chongqing, with the latter having rolled out its 500,000th HUD unit. The company places a strong emphasis on research and development, holding over 500 patents for its HUD technologies. Its work has been recognized with multiple CES Innovation Awards and other industry accolades.
