    Abstract: A head-up display device operated in a vehicle comprises: a first image source and a second image source, a beam-splitter located in between. In an embodiment, two virtual images located at different positions simultaneously while both of the first and the second image sources have linear polarization but mutual orthogonal or both have an opposite-hand circular polarization associated with a corresponding polarization type beam splitter. In the second embodiment, the polarizing beam splitter is replaced by a transparent/mirror element so that one virtual image could be seen by the driver depending on the mode been selected. In the third embodiment, the beam-splitter is replaced by a mechanical movable shielding element. While the mechanical movable shielding element is disposed in the optical plane to block out the first image light, the second virtual image is chosen.

  • Publication number: 20150342710
    Abstract: A method of constructing tooth images utilizes a probe to take images of teeth at one place using a first light ray of wavelength less than or equal to 460 nm and a second light ray of wavelength greater than or equal to 600 nm, thereby generating a first image and a second image. After receiving the first image and the second image, an image processing unit superimposes the first image and the second image to produce a composite tooth image. Using the light of wavelength less than or equal to 460 nm has the advantage of reducing reflection disturbance from saliva, thereby increasing the precision in tooth images.
