A heads-up display includes a windshield (10) with a standardized wedge profile and an embedded reflective polarizer (20) for p-polarised light and a display (40). The reflective polarizer is disposed between, and spaced apart from, opposing outermost first and second major glass surfaces (11, 12) of the windshield. The heads-up display forms a virtual image for viewing by the eye of a passenger. An image emitted by the display may include a first image ray emitted from a predetermined region of the display and incident on the outermost first major glass surface of the windshield at an angle of incidence greater than about 60 degrees, with at least 90% of the incident first emitted image ray polarized in a plane of incidence of the first emitted image ray.

A motor vehicle includes a display system having an image source positioned in a dashboard of the motor vehicle for emitting light beams. A reflection region extends in parallel to a lateral edge of a pane layer of a windshield of the motor vehicle. The reflection region is configured to reflect the light beams to generate a virtual image and the image source includes a one-dimensional switchable strip display. A controller of the motor vehicle is configured to provide, by using the one-dimensional switchable strip display corresponding to the virtual image, at least one of a dynamic running light and a static light strip.

A display system of a vehicle, and a control method thereof includes: a user input device; a head-up display configured to project a virtual image including augmented reality contents and to adjust a projection position of the augmented reality contents according to predetermined driver viewpoint information and left and right direction offset; and a controller configured to correct the driver viewpoint information or the left and right direction offset according to a control input received through the user input device, wherein the left and right direction offset indicates a degree to which the augmented reality contents are shifted left or right.

Superimposed-image display devices and programs display a guide image providing a guidance of information to a driver of a vehicle such that the guide image is superimposed on a view ahead of the vehicle and is visually recognized. The systems and programs obtain three-dimensional map information that specifies a three-dimensional shape of a road and a structure nearby the road and arrange the guide image in the three-dimensional map information, based on the three-dimensional shape of the road and the structure nearby the road. The systems and programs obtain a shape of the guide image that is visually recognized from a position of the driver in the three-dimensional map information and display the guide image having the obtained shape.

A vehicle display device configured to display a predetermined image on a display region depicting a scene ahead of a vehicle. The vehicle display device includes memory and a processor connected to the memory. The processor is configured to acquire position information for the vehicle and position information for a destination point, and to display a first image indicating an orientation of the destination point at the display region in a case in which a relationship between the position of the vehicle and the position of the destination point satisfies a predetermined condition relating to visibility.

A vehicle can include a window. The window can include an interior side and an exterior side. The vehicle can include a camera operatively positioned to capture visual data of a portion of an exterior environment of the vehicle. The vehicle can include a dual-sided transparent display forming at least a portion of the window. The vehicle can include a processor operatively connected to the camera and the dual-sided transparent display. The processor can be configured to selectively cause the dual-sided transparent display to display exterior visual information on the exterior side. The processor can be configured to cause the dual-sided transparent display to display interior visual information on the interior side. The interior visual information can include the visual data of the portion of the exterior environment of the vehicle.

A display system of a vehicle displays a virtual image. The display system has a projection device, which is configured to emit display light in order to generate an image, and a reflecting device, which is configured for a first reflection of display light of the projection device arranged above the reflecting device by way of the reflecting device attached in or on an instrument panel of the vehicle. The display light of the projection device incident on the reflecting device is substantially retroreflected. The display system further includes a windshield of the vehicle, which windshield is configured for a second reflection of at least part of the display light, which was reflected by the reflecting device, to the eyes of an observer in the vehicle in order to allow the observer to see, behind the windshield, the virtual image of the image generated by the projection device.

An image distortion correction circuit performs a distortion correction process on an image signal on the basis of distortion correction data to generate a distortion-corrected image signal. The distortion correction data is for correcting coordinate positions of display data fragments corresponding to respective N coordinate positions in the display image to first to N-th distortion correction coordinate positions. The image distortion correction circuit determines a distortion correction coordinate position where abnormality occurs as an abnormal coordinate position among the first to N-th distortion correction coordinate positions on the basis of respective intervals between the adjacent first to N-th distortion correction coordinate positions indicated by the distortion correction data. The image distortion correction circuit corrects a part corresponding to the abnormal coordinate position in the distortion correction data on the basis of at least the two distortion correction coordinate positions excluding the abnormal coordinate position among the first to N-th distortion correction coordinate positions.

In an information display system that allows an observer to visually recognize image information displayed on an image display apparatus by superimposing the image on an external scenery through a window glass and a combiner, the system includes a light source apparatus that supplies light having a specific polarization direction at a narrow divergence angle to the image display apparatus, a reflection position of the image is changed by arranging a position and an angle of the image display apparatus with respect to the window glass so that the position and the angle change while a monitoring angle of the image visually recognized by the observer is constant, and a virtual image display distance of the image visually recognized by the observer and a size of the image of the virtual image can be changed by the arrangement state in the vehicle.

A display device for a vehicle includes: a first display device including a reflection type hologram that is disposed on a windshield of a vehicle, and a first projection part that projects first display light toward the hologram, and displaying a first display image by diffraction light diffracted by the hologram; and a second display device including a second projection part that projects second display light toward the windshield, and displaying a second display image by reflection light reflected by the windshield. In the windshield, a first region where the first display light is incident and a second region where the second display light is incident overlap with each other, the second projection part includes a filter part that cuts light in a predetermined wavelength region from the second display light, and the predetermined wavelength region is a wavelength region of the light diffracted by the hologram.
