A display includes a projector configured to provide light of a virtual image, a waveguide into which the light of the virtual image is injected at an injection angle by the projector, and a combiner disposed along the waveguide and configured to redirect the light of the virtual image. The waveguide is configured to emit the light at a point established by the injection angle. The combiner is further configured to allow ambient light from beyond the waveguide to pass through the combiner. The waveguide constrains the light of the virtual image through total internal reflection along a curved path for the light between the projector and the combiner.

Multiple layer panels including a pair of substrates and an interlayer disposed therebetween are provided. In some cases, the multiple layer panels may utilize substrates having different thicknesses, and such configurations may help reduce glass thickness and overall panel weight. However, panels of the present invention may still exhibit sufficient strength, rigidity, and acoustic performance and can be suitable for use in a wide range of automotive, aeronautical, and/or architectural applications.

An intermediate laminate having a first adhesive layer and a first cross-linked cured resin layer laminated directly with no other layer interposed therebetween, the first adhesive layer having a polyvinyl acetal resin and/or an ionomer resin.

Objects are to provide a projection-image-displaying laminate film that enables, when used for, for example, a HUD, displaying of undistorted projection images of high-quality screen images, a laminated glass using the projection-image-displaying laminate film, and an image display system using the laminated glass. The objects are achieved with a projection-image-displaying laminate film including a half-mirror film including a selective reflection layer configured to wavelength-selectively reflect light, and a heat-sealing layer disposed on one surface of the half-mirror film, wherein the half-mirror film has a stiffness at 25° C. of 4.0 N.Math.mm or less, and the heat-sealing layer has a thickness of 40 μm or less, contains a thermoplastic resin, and has a surface opposite from the half-mirror film, the surface having a static coefficient of friction of 1.0 or less.

A head-up display device that is to be mounted in a moving vehicle and enables an occupant in the moving vehicle to view a virtual image based on a reflected image of projection light in a projection section. The projection section includes an interlayer film, a first glass plate disposed closer to an outside of the moving vehicle, and a second glass plate disposed closer to an inside of the moving vehicle, the first glass plate and the second glass plate disposed opposite each other with the interlayer film therebetween. The first glass plate and the second glass plate each have a tin surface on which tin is detected and a non-tin surface whose tin concentration is lower than the tin concentration on the tin surface.

A micro-layered structure for use in an optical projection system is configured to reflect incident light as multiple closely aligned reflections. A first semi-reflective transparent layer of the structure has a first index of refraction, a first front surface and a first rear surface. A second semi-reflective transparent layer of the structure has a second index of refraction different from the first index of refraction, a second front surface and a second rear surface. The second front surface abuts the first rear surface of the first semi-reflective transparent layer. Portions of the incident light are respectively reflected by the first front surface, first rear surface, second front surface and second rear surface as first, second, third and fourth reflections which collectively form a projection of the image perceived by a user of the optical projection system.

An optical film, a fabrication method thereof, a windshield, and a driving apparatus, which pertains to the field of in-vehicle devices. The optical film includes a birefringent layer. The birefringent layer splits light transmitted through the optical film into two light beams, and exit directions of the two light beams are different from each other. A head up display is disposed above an instrument panel, and the optical film is disposed on a windshield. Light incident into an automobile through the windshield is split into two light beams. By adjusting relative positions of the head up display and the optical film, it is possible to enable only one of the light beams to be incident into the head up display. Since the total amount of light entering the head up display is reduced, the temperature rise inside the head up display can be mitigated.

A projection assembly for a head-up display (HUD) includes a windshield, including an outer and inner pane joined to one another via a thermoplastic intermediate layer, and having an HUD region; and a projector directed at the HUD region. The radiation of the projector is predominantly p-polarised, and the windshield is provided with a reflective coating, which is suitable for reflecting p-polarised radiation. The reflective coating has exactly one electrically conductive layer and arranged one above and one below the electrically conductive layer are two dielectric layer sequences, each including n low-optical-refraction layers having an index of refraction less than 1.8 and (n+1) high-optical-refraction layers having an index of refraction greater than 1.8, arranged alternatingly in each case, wherein n is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

An interlayer film (10) for laminated glass comprises an optical function layer (15) and a first thermoplastic resin layer (11) provided on one surface (15A) side of the optical function layer (15). The optical function layer (15) comprises a matrix polymer, a polymer of a photoreactive monomer, and a photopolymerization initiator. The first thermoplastic resin layer (11) comprises an ultraviolet ray absorber and has a transmittance at a wavelength of 400 nm of 20% or less.
