An image display module, a movable object, and a concave mirror improve the quality of a stereoscopic image provided to a user. An image display module includes a display that displays a planar image and a parallax image projected to a first eye and a second eye of a user through an optical system, a barrier that causes parallax between the first eye and the second eye by defining a traveling direction of image light for the parallax image, and a concave mirror that includes a part of the optical system. The parallax image projected through the optical system has less distortion than the planar image projected through the optical system.

Technologies and techniques for displaying information for an occupant of a motor vehicle. The display position of a head-up display is able to be varied flexibly depending on the context. To this end, both a displacement of the X and/or Y position and a color selection adapted to the background may be implemented and be performed automatically. Information from the steering angle, speed, map data and also head tracking by the interior camera may be combined to determine the X and/or Y position. In order to achieve optimum visibility for any load case, sensor fusion from the position data and an exterior camera may take place: Content or information (24) may thus be displayed depending on the current display position, so as to be more visible. If only some of the information is on a background, only some of the color may also change.

Heads up display system

A heads up display system of a vehicle includes a combiner screen having a first substantially transparent substrate defining a first surface and a second surface, a second substantially transparent substrate defining a third surface and a fourth surface. A primary seal is disposed between the first and second substrates. The seal and the first and second substrates define a cavity therebetween. An electro-optic material is positioned within the cavity and a transflective layer having a multilayer polymeric film positioned on one of the first and second surfaces, and a projector for projecting light having a first polarization toward the first surface of the first substrate.
