A head up display (HUD) system includes a housing, a display assembly, and a mechanical guide system. The housing contains optical and electronic components that support a head up display function. The display assembly is captured by the housing. The display assembly has a display element for conveying head-up display information and a carrier that structurally supports the display element. The mechanical guide system moves and guide the display assembly to an in-use position, a storage position, and a service position. When in the service position, the display assembly is removable from the housing without disassembly of the housing. When not in said service position, the display assembly can be movable between an in-use position (in which the display element is substantially exposed outside the housing but is physically secured by the housing) and a storage position (in which the display assembly is substantially enclosed and protected by the housing).

Head up display (HUD) system with a service position for easy display assembly replacement

A combiner positioning system () for a heads-up display (). The positioning system () is arranged on a frame () including a base plate (). A movable carrier () is provided for supporting a combiner () within the frame. The carrier () is movable between a first end of the frame, where the combiner () is in a retracted position (storage position), to a second end where the combiner is in a fully extended position (display position).
