A method operates a visual field display device, in particular for a motor vehicle, which is designed to produce a projection light beam with a display content and to project the display content onto a partially transparent reflecting projection screen, in particular a front window of the motor vehicle, such that a virtual display image which is superimposed into a field of vision of a user is generated behind it. The method determines image element edges having vertical or a vertical component in the virtual display image to be superimposed and tilts the image element edges thus determined to a respectively adapted tilt angle with respect to the vertical, such that double images of the respective image element edges in the virtual display image are offset with respect to each other in the horizontal direct for the user due to double reflections of the projection light beam on two optical boundaries of the projection screen and appear substantially sharp.

A method for determining pane thicknesses and a wedge angle of a coated windshield for a projection arrangement of a head-up display. A wedge angle and a combination of glass thicknesses are determined by means of which the glass ghost image and the layer ghost image are optimally reduced. The method proceeds from a starting thickness of the two glass panes of the windshield for which that wedge angle is determined, in an iterative process, that represents an optimal compromise between the minimization of the glass ghost image and the minimization of the layer ghost image. Then, the glass thicknesses are determined varied within a specified range for each combination of the optimal wedge angles. Thus, it is possible, iteratively, to identify that combination of glass thicknesses that results in the least occurrence of ghost images, in addition to the associated optimal wedge angle.
