摘要:
A virtual image system for windshields that permits an image source to reflect off the windshield so that a virtual image, free of ghost image, is visible to the driver. Either a matte black material is applied to a windshield glass pane at any of the outer glass pane windshield surfaces 1 or 2, or at the inner glass pane windshield surface 3, or else a black glossy sheet is disposed at windshield surface 4 upon the windshield frit, whereby the virtual image is provided for any image source having real image rays incident at windshield surface 4.

A head-up display for a vehicle, the display is capable of projecting an imaging illumination from an image source and a night vision display from a night vision source. The display utilizes a beam-splitter which receives the projected image illumination and night vision display and the beam-splitter directs a combined output to a mirror and a combiner for producing a virtual image in front of the eyes of a vehicle operator.

A method and system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, provide a means to securely store odometer information in an automobile. A distance traveled by the automobile is calculated. The distance traveled is then stored in both a first and second memory unit within the automobile.
摘要:
A head-up instrument display for a vehicle including a light emitting image source for producing imaging illumination and a combiner including a spherical beam-splitter coating for partially reflecting the imaging illumination to produce a virtual image viewable by the vehicle operator without diverting attention from the outside scene. In one embodiment, the head-up instrument display is self-contained with the combiner being rotatable into a stowed position when not in use.

The invention generally relates to an integrated head up displaying (HUD) device including a housing that houses an active-matrix image projecting system and its accompanying electronics, and an optical combiner (for providing a see-through image thereon) connected to the housing via a retractable arm attached at one end to the main body and holds the HUD optical panel at its other end. In particular, the telescopically retractable arm allows the assembly to extend or retract for a desirable combiner height. Further, the LED backlighting array is placed within a reflective light chamber which is lined with a safe, light-weight, low cost, specular, reflective sheet for high reflectivity. The non-conductive, reflective sheet also covers the LED printed circuit board.

A display apparatus includes an image source displaying information and a magnifying mirror element reflecting the displayed information and projecting one or more images thereof viewable by the operator in one or more focal planes, the mirror element being partially light transmissive. A display data source is also provided so that, in a first mode, the display data is not visible and in a second mode the display data is visible to the operator through the mirror. A motor mechanism is operable to pivot the display between a stowed position and an unstowed operational position.
摘要:
A vehicle head-up instrument display including a light emitting image source for producing imaging illumination, optical apparatus for directing the imaging illumination to the inside surface of a vehicle windshield, and a combiner comprising a portion of the windshield or a coating applied to the windshield partially reflects the imaging illumination to produce a virtual image viewable by the driver. The image source and optical apparatus are enclosed in a housing having an elliptical cylindrical transparent cover for transmitting the imaging illumination to the windshield and for directing sunlight and skylight reflections therefrom away from the driver's eyes.

摘要:
Glare and spurious reflections of external light on the image source of a head up display are eliminated by a circular polarizer in the optical path of the display. The head up display includes a mirror system for projecting a pattern from the image source onto a vehicle windshield where it is reflected to the operator, wherein polarization is effected at the windshield reflection. The circular polarizer includes a linear polarizer and a quarter wave plate arranged to extinguish the external incident light after reflection from the image source. The linear polarizer axis is aligned with the polarization axis at the windshield to optimize the brightness of the display.
