Abstract: A head-up display device for displaying a virtual image superimposed over a field of view to a viewer is provided. The head-up display device includes a picture generating unit having an illumination source, such as a laser, to generate a real image following a first light beam. A windshield of a vehicle engages the first light beam, either at an inclined angle or perpendicular, to reflect the first light beam away from the viewer as reflected images. A combiner disposed on the windshield including a holographic optical element steers the first light beam toward the viewer as a third light beam to present the virtual image within the field of view of the viewer. Mirrors may direct and magnify first light beam onto the combiner. A method for displaying a virtual image superimposed over a field of view to a viewer using a head-up display device is also provided.

Abstract: A display system for a windshield of a vehicle comprises a projection device configured to generate an image upon a projection surface and a controller for processing information related to the image. Furthermore, the display device is configured with a recording device which is pointed toward the projection surface and connected to the controller by a first data channel. The projection surface is configurable and likewise connected by means of a second data channel to the controller. The projection surface may include a light-transparent liquid crystal display and/or a flexible liquid crystal display, and may be configured as a mirror or as a diffuser for showing the image as a hologram. A method for configuring the display system is also provided.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices, methods and systems for producing hologram-based indicia for a vehicle dashboard/cockpit. By employing the aspects disclosed herein, indicia (electronically coupled to the vehicle's microprocessor), is lighted and projected in a three-dimensional virtual manner. The aspects disclosed herein may be embedded in various portions in the vehicle and thus, not consume extra space or area required to create virtual images through other techniques.
