Abstract: Apparatus and method for designing an optical extender for a vehicle heads up display (HUD). An example vehicle includes a windshield and a HUD system. The HUD system includes an image source to provide a projection image and a main mirror to project the projection image onto the windshield. The image source and the main mirror define a light path. The HUD system also includes an optical extender between the main mirror and the windshield. The optical extender has a multi-polynomial top surface that modifies light in the light path to, when the light in the light path intersects the windshield, create an optical path wherein a virtual image of the projection image is visible from an eyebox defined within a cabin of the vehicle.

Abstract: The disclosure specifies a display device for a motor vehicle. The display device has a memory unit that stores visual requirements of vehicle occupants, an identification component that identifies a vehicle occupant, a processing unit that is designed to assign the visual requirements to an identified vehicle occupant and transfer the assigned visual requirements to a display. The display is individually adjustable to visual requirements of a vehicle occupant.

Abstract: A display unit for a vehicle includes a screen module and a cover. A bracket supports the screen module and the cover. The bracket extends between the screen module and the cover and includes an attachment portion configured to engage the vehicle. The bracket also includes a heat sink adjacent the screen module for dissipating heat from the screen module during operation.
