A head-up display is provided in a vehicle and configured to display a predetermined image toward an occupant of the vehicle. The head-up display includes: an image generation unit configured to emit light for generating the predetermined image and to irradiate a windshield or a combiner; and a controller configured to control an operation of the image generation unit. The controller controls the image generation unit to select one of a planar image and a stereoscopic image as a display mode of a virtual image object formed by the predetermined image and visually recognized by the occupant through the windshield or the combiner, according to a predetermined condition.

The present invention relates to an image output device mounted on a vehicle to implement augmented reality. One or more of an autonomous driving vehicle, a user terminal, and a server of the present invention can be linked to an artificial intelligence module, a drone (unmanned aerial vehicle, UAV), a robot, an augmented reality (AR) device, a virtual reality (VR) device, a device related to 5G services, etc.

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to a heads-up display visor for a vehicle, such as an automobile, to provide driver assistance information to the driver. Features include a display screen that is sized and positioned relative to the driver's conventional sun visor, so as to eliminate the need to project images onto the windshield and/or to have a projector located on the vehicle dashboard. In certain embodiments, the heads-up display visor is portable, and is affixed to the driver's conventional sun visor by a clip, thereby allowing a driver to move the device from one vehicle to another.

A motor vehicle includes a rearview camera capturing images of a scene behind the motor vehicle. An electronic processor receives the images captured by the camera. A virtual image projection arrangement is communicatively coupled to the electronic processor and presents a virtual image dependent upon the images captured by the camera. The virtual image is visible by a driver of the vehicle after being reflected by a windshield.

A display device and a vehicle are provided. The display device includes a first display panel, a second display panel and a light-emitting module. The first display panel includes a first side and a first light-receiving surface. The second display panel includes a second side and a second light-receiving surface. The first side is connected to the second side such that the first display panel and the second display panel form an including angle, and the first light-receiving surface and the second light-receiving surface form a light-emitting space. The light-emitting module is disposed corresponding to the light-emitting space. The light-emitting module emits an illuminating light into the light-emitting space such that a part of the illuminating light forms a first image through the first display panel, and another part of the illuminating light passes through the second display panel and is projected onto a display surface where it forms a second image.

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 including 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 having a first main surface exposed to the outside and a second main surface opposite the first main surface, the second glass plate having a fourth main surface exposed to the inside and a third main surface opposite the fourth main surface, the first glass plate and the second glass plate each having 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, the fourth main surface being defined by the non-tin surface, the virtual image being based on a reflected image formed on the fourth main surface, the projection light including S-polarized light and P-polarized light, wherein when the projection light is mixed light of S-polarized light and P-polarized light in equal proportions, the projection light has a first maximum peak intensity within a wavelength range of 400 nm to less than 500 nm of 1.25 to 2.5 times a second maximum peak intensity within a wavelength range of 500 nm to 700 nm, a reflectance on the fourth main surface at a wavelength of the first maximum peak intensity is higher than a reflectance on the fourth main surface at a wavelength of the second maximum peak intensity, and a difference between the reflectances is 0.15% or less.

An HUD system, includes at least one first HUD device, namely an AR-HUD device, with at least one first image source for displaying a first image produced by at least one hologram in a first display section of a display region and at least one second HUD device with at least one second image source for displaying a second image produced using geometric projection optics in a second display section of the display region.

A driving device for a head-up display including a motor, a driving gear mounted at the motor and rotated when the motor is driven, a worm gear engaged with the driving gear and rotated by interlocking with the driving gear, a movable mirror configured to linearly move by being engaged with the worm gear, a stopper configured to restrict movement of the movable mirror, and a bending prevention part formed in the driving gear and configured to be inserted into the worm gear, so that engagement between the driving gear and the worm gear is maintained in an excessive torque section, and noise generation is prevented.

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.

A motor vehicle comprising a passenger compartment defining a seat for a driver, a dashboard arranged within the passenger compartment, delimiting the passenger compartment at the front with reference to a normal forward moving condition of the motor vehicle and arranged in front of the seat; a windshield delimiting the passenger compartment and contiguous with the dashboard; and a head-up display configured to form at least one virtual image containing an item of information associated with an operating state of the motor vehicle on a first region of the windshield; the dashboard comprises a second region contiguous with the windshield; the head-up display comprises at least one projector housed in the second region and the first region delimits the windshield on the side of the dashboard.
