Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and devices for implementing a heads-up display (HUD) that is viewable in conditions where a viewer is wearing a p-polarized eyewear, eyewear polarized between s-polarized and p-polarized, or not. Thus, employing the aspects disclosed herein, a viewer may realize all the benefits of a HUD implementation (for example, one implemented via a vehicle), while realizing all the benefits of wearing polarized eyewear.

Adjusting a head-up display (HUD) based on polarization

A system and method for canceling vibrations in a head-up display device displaying a projected image superimposed over a field of view of a driver of a vehicle includes a mounting plate fixed to the vehicle and supporting a combiner panel while allowing the combiner panel to be rotated about a rotation axis. An image source generates a signal corresponding to the projected image, which is then projected upon the combiner panel by a picture generating unit. A rotation sensor measures rotation of the combiner panel and causes a displacement compensation controller to shift the projected image to offset displacement caused by vibration which would otherwise cause the projected image to appear to move. In this way, unwanted movement of the projected image caused by vibration is effectively cancelled-out. Alternative arrangements of components of the system are disclosed. A method for vibration cancellation in a HUD device is also provided.

Vibration compensating head-up display

A display device for a motor vehicle includes: a projection module fix generating an image for a projection in a direction of gaze of a user of the display device along an optical path; a reflection and/or display element; a support element for the reflection and/or display element; and a holding element, configured such that the reflection and/or display element is held, without deformation of the reflection and/or display element, between the support element and the holding element and in a fixed position relative to the support element.

Display device for motor vehicle

A head-up display includes at least three light sources, each one arranged to emit light with a basic color different from the basic color of the other light sources, a digital micro mirror device including an array of micro mirrors, wherein the light of the light sources is directed onto the digital micro mirror device, at least one combiner for displaying an image, and at least one control unit for multiplexing the light sources so as to sequentially emit light thus creating a field sequential color system and for controlling the digital micro mirror device so as to selectively rotate the micro mirrors between an on state, where the light from the light sources is reflected into an optical path towards the combiner, and an off state, where the light is reflected away from that optical path. A method for operating the head-up display is also disclosed.

Head-up display and method for operating it

The present invention relates to a display, in particular Head-Up-Display of a vehicle, comprising an image forming unit for generating an image, an illumination means for illuminating the image forming unit and a deflecting unit for providing a user with a virtual image of the image generated by the image forming unit, wherein the image forming unit comprises a reflective LCoS&#x2014;(Liquid Crystal on Silicon) display and the deflecting unit comprises a partially transmissive combiner.

Display, in particular head-up-display of a vehicle

An optical element, notably an optical element for creating a retractable sheet for use in a motor vehicle, has in the final state a three-dimensional shape resulting from forming of the optical element, the optical element being designed to have an extended shape comprising: a first main surface, a second main surface, and an edge surface. A method of manufacturing involves during a first step of the method, forming the optical element to give its final three-dimensional shape in terms of the first main surface, the second main surface and the edge surface. During a second step at least one of the surfaces of the optical element is cleaned. During a third step, a functional coating is applied to the first main surface and/or the second main surface.

Method of manufacturing an optical element, optical element and display device

A head-up display has a screen, a cover for the screen, and a gear mechanism for simultaneously pivoting the screen and the cover around a pivot axis between a first end position and a second end position and concurrently shifting the cover relatively to the screen in such a way that the cover uncovers the screen in the first end position and completely covers the screen in the second end position.

Head-up display for a vehicle

The present invention relates to a display device, notably for a motor vehicle, comprising a projection module for generating an image for the purpose of a projection in the normal direction of looking of a user of the display device on an optical path, the display device comprising a reflection element, the reflection element being capable of being moved between a multitude of different display positions, the different display positions corresponding to different viewing positions of a user of the display device.

Display device, notably for a motor vehicle

A display device for a motor vehicle includes a projection module for generating an image for projection in a normal direction of looking of a user long an optical path. The display device comprises a reflection element capable of being moved between a first rest position and a second display position. The reflection element in its display position is provided in the normal direction of looking of the user. When the reflection element moves between its first rest position and its second display position, it is subjected to rotary movement about a fixed axis of rotation.
