Abstract
A projection unit for a field-of-view display device designed to superimpose, via reflection, a virtual image on a reflection pane, in particular a vehicle pane, arranged in the field of view of a user, includes at least one rectangular imaging display area arranged in or below a top side of an instrument panel of a vehicle and formed by a mechanically movable belt with at least one light source bar fastened thereon which extends across its direction of belt movement and carries strung-together light sources in its direction of extent. The light sources are contactlessly controllable synchronously with the belt movement and independently of one another for creating a desired display content in the display area. At least one receiver circuit board is fastened to the belt and electrically connected to the light sources. At least one associated transmitter circuit board is arranged stationarily in the projection unit in a manner mechanically decoupled from the belt and designed for contactless power and video signal transfer to the light sources via the at least one receiver circuit board.
