First generation Night vision enhancement systems with image presentation in the dashboard have been introduced on the market. Far Infrared and Near Infrared systems are currently competing technologies. The camera picture is presented either with a Head‐up display on the windscreen or in the dashboard region. An arbitrarily configurable LC display located in the instrument cluster was found to meet best the requirements of a quick and distraction‐free reading. A precondition for a quick recognition and identification of relevant obstacles is a highcontrast and brilliant picture quality. To achieve this, picture quality improvement means have been applied. Such a setup has been selected for the new Mercedes S‐Class.
