  • Patent number: 9632311
    Abstract: A head-up display system for display on a windowpane includes: an image-generating display device configured to generate an image; and an optical system configured to deflect the generated image onto the windowpane. The image-generating display device is an electronic paper display device, the electronic paper display device including a curved image-generating surface having a curvature, the curvature of the image-generating surface being adjustable to adjust the curvature of the image-generating surface so as to compensate for image distortion occurring due to a curvature of the windowpane.
