Abstract
A head-up display device comprises an image generator, a beam combiner having a light receiving plane tilted laterally for receiving a light from the image generator and diffracting the light, and a compensator arranged between the image generator and the beam combiner for receiving the light from the image generator by a light receiving plane thereof and directing the light to the beam combiner to correct an aberration created by the beam combiner. The compensator is arranged such that a normal line extending through a center of the light receiving plane thereof and a normal line extending through a center of the light receiving plane of the beam combiner are in a common plane.
