The device allows to compensate for the aberrations of the collimating and combining holographic optics by using a simplified scheme for the relay optics. Said relay optics comprises six lenses and a window; it is terminated at each end by a plane side and is disposed in a case. Said relay optics and the holographic optical element are determined taking into account average data for the thickness and curvature of the windshield. The accurate compensation for the windshield deviations is made at a closing glass plate whose thickness is varied. The Folding optical element is a simple reflecting plane mirror and has no correcting effect, which permits the translation along the optical axis of said relay optics and the cathode-ray tube generating the luminous image to be collimated.

Head-up display device of holographic type

The optical mixer disclosed enables, through optic fibers, a precise superimposition, in a plane of observation, of identical elementary images with distinct chrominance values. It comprises n (n being a whole number greater than 1) display devices to form n monochrome elementary images with different chrominance values on n screens using one and the same original image, and an optical mixing device formed by optic fibers which may be arranged in sheets. These sheets are ordered to form groups of n fibers wherein the fibers of one and the same group terminate, at their first end, respectively at the n screens, in dots of the elementary images corresponding to the same dot of the original image and terminate, at their second end, in the plane of observation, substantially in a dot corresponding to the dot considered, for the group of the original image.
