Abstract: The invention is directed to an optical unit for a head-up display comprising an image generator, a mirror and a cover plate which are arranged in a housing one behind the other in the direction of light propagation. The beam path is directed to a windshield. The invention is wherein that the mirror is a rear-surface mirror whose reflection surface has a light-bundling action. The rear-surface mirror has, in addition, a refractive action that can be generated by the refractive index of the mirror material and a material thickness which changes between the reflection surface and the transmissive surface.

The projection optics (2) include a first and second part optics (8, 9) lying on a common optical axis (11) that are provided at the same time for illumination. The light coming from the illumination unit passes via third part optics (10) and via at least one deflection element (15) into the second part optics (9). In the optical path of the front region of the projection optics an “off axis” mirror (5) and at least one deflection element (15) bend the optical path.

An LED or an LED array of a base color with a beam path (Lr) oriented in the direction of the display unit is arranged on the optical axis of the illumination module. For the purpose of color mixing, the LEDs and LED arrays of the other base colors are attached in such a way tat their beam paths (Lg, Lb) are laterally input in sequence under input angles (?, ?) of <90 degrees into the beam path (Lr) of the first base color.
