A projection arrangement for a head-up display (HUD) is presented. The arrangement has a vehicle windshield that includes an outer pane and an inner pane bonded to one another via a thermoplastic intermediate layer. The vehicle windshield has an upper edge, a lower edge, and an HUD region. The thickness of the thermoplastic intermediate layer in the vertical course between the upper edge and the lower edge varies, at least in the HUD region, according to a wedge angle.

A thermoplastic film for a laminated-glass pane having a non-linear continuous wedge insert in the vertical direction in some sections. The thermoplastic film has a continuous non-linear wedge angle profile having a first section, which has a wedge angle that is constant or that is variable at least in some sections in order to avoid double images in transmission. The nonlinear wedge angle profile also has a second section, which adjoins the first section. The second section has a variable wedge angle in order to avoid ghost images in reflection. The wedge angle profile has a third section, which adjoins the second section. The third section has a wedge angle that is constant or that is variable at least in some sections in order to avoid double images in transmission.

According to one aspect, the intermediate layer includes a first wedge inlay and a second wedge inlay that are made of different materials, each of the inlays being wedge-shaped and having a wedge face. According to another aspect, the wedge faces are positioned one atop the other so that, in the direction from a lower edge to an upper edge of the composite pane, the thickness of the first wedge inlay increases and the thickness of the second wedge inlay decreases. According to a further aspect, at least one of the wedge inlays has a refractive index that differs from the refractive index of the outer pane and of the inner pane.

Abstract:
A method for determining pane thicknesses and a wedge angle of a coated windshield for a projection arrangement of a head-up display. A wedge angle and a combination of glass thicknesses are determined by means of which the glass ghost image and the layer ghost image are optimally reduced. The method proceeds from a starting thickness of the two glass panes of the windshield for which that wedge angle is determined, in an iterative process, that represents an optimal compromise between the minimization of the glass ghost image and the minimization of the layer ghost image. Then, the glass thicknesses are determined varied within a specified range for each combination of the optimal wedge angles. Thus, it is possible, iteratively, to identify that combination of glass thicknesses that results in the least occurrence of ghost images, in addition to the associated optimal wedge angle.
