A head-up display (HUD) assembly for a vehicle is provided. A backlight assembly case is made of a material having a thermal conductivity exceeding 15 W/mK and an emissivity of at least 0.8. A light source is provided. A thin film transistor (TFT) panel has a first axial surface and a second axial surface. A portion of light emitted from the light source transmits through the TFT panel from the first axial surface to the second axial surface, and a portion of the TFT panel is mounted to the backlight assembly case in a direct face-to-face relationship.

System and assembly for controlling temperature in head-up displays

A vehicle head-up display includes a liquid crystal panel, a light source, a first polarizing panel, and a second polarizing panel. The liquid crystal panel has opposing input and output surfaces. The liquid crystal panel is configured to form an image oriented relative to a horizontal axis. The light source is configured to direct light toward the input surface, through the liquid crystal panel, and out of the output surface to project the image onto an interior surface of a vehicle windshield. The first polarizing panel is secured to the output surface and has a first polarization axis oriented at a first angle relative to the horizontal axis. The second polarizing panel is disposed between the first polarizing panel and the windshield. The second polarizing panel has a second polarization axis oriented oriented at a second angle relative to the horizontal axis.
