METHOD FOR VISUALIZING OPTICAL INFORMATION
20240118542 · 2024-04-11 ·

A method is provided for visualizing optical information in the central field of vision of a driver in such a way that a display (5) in the form of a virtual image is superimposed on a real traffic environment. A position of the display (5) is dynamically variable as a function of a vehicle speed, a steering angle, and a road type. Thus a horizontal and/or vertical spread of a display range (8) between a first maximum value (9) and a second maximum value (10) within which the display (5) can be displayed is varied as a function of speed, steering angle and roadway type.

EXTENDED EYE-BOX
20240151969 · 2024-05-09 ·

A head-up display system includes an eye-box having a first and second dimension, an image projector including a picture generating unit and an optical system, and a movement assembly. The picture generating unit includes a spatial light modulator arranged to spatially modulate light in accordance with a hologram. The optical system relays the spatially modulated light to an optical combiner. The movement assembly moves at least a portion of the image projector rectilinearly between a plurality of positions such that at least one component of the picture generating unit is moved together with the optical system. Spatially modulated light relayed to the optical combiner forms a virtual image viewable from a sub-eye-box having a position in the first dimension being dependent on the position of the at least a portion of the image projector. The eye-box is the sum of the sub-eye-boxes associated with each of the plurality of positions.
