Abstract: A head-up display for a vehicle may include a mirror system. The mirror system may include a mirror. The mirror may be rotatable about a first axis. For rotation about the first axis, the mirror system may include a first joint assembly spaced from a second joint assembly. The first joint assembly may include a bearing-ball joint aligned along a second axis. Additionally, the first joint assembly may include a mirror-ball joint aligned along the first axis. The mirror-ball joint may restrict movement of the bearing-ball joint to ensure that the first axis remains coaxial with the second axis.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a head-up display device comprising a pivoting and/or tilting combiner system, a projector system capable of generating information to be viewed, a mechanical actuation and drive system, a housing including a compartment and a fixed cover. The fixed cover includes a contact and sealing edge, and the device further includes a movable cover being mounted, preferably removable, on the support. The resultant device forms a contact seal preventing the passage of dust and other foreign elements between said contact and sealing edge and the movable cover.

Abstract: A head-up display system for a vehicle including a picture generating unit for projecting information. A mirror is rotatably connected to a housing for reflecting the information from the picture generating unit toward a combiner panel. A first mirror leg extends from the mirror along a first axis and a second mirror leg extends from the mirror opposite the first mirror leg along a second axis. A first ball joint assembly pivotably connects the first mirror leg to the housing and a second ball joint assembly pivotably connects the second mirror leg to the housing, each for preventing misalignment of the mirror. At least one of the first and second mirror legs are translatable along the first or second axis relative to the housing. A first bearing is rotatably connects the first leg to the housing and a second bearing rotatably connects the second leg to the housing.

Abstract: A system and method for canceling vibrations in a head-up display device displaying a projected image superimposed over a field of view of a driver of a vehicle includes a mounting plate fixed to the vehicle and supporting a combiner panel while allowing the combiner panel to be rotated about a rotation axis. An image source generates a signal corresponding to the projected image, which is then projected upon the combiner panel by a picture generating unit. A rotation sensor measures rotation of the combiner panel and causes a displacement compensation controller to shift the projected image to offset displacement caused by vibration which would otherwise cause the projected image to appear to move. In this way, unwanted movement of the projected image caused by vibration is effectively cancelled-out. Alternative arrangements of components of the system are disclosed.

Abstract: A display device for a motor vehicle includes: a projection module, configured to generate an image for projection in a direction of vision of a user of the display device along an optical path; a reflection and/or display element, configured to be displaced between a rest position and at least one display position; and a support for the reflection and/or display element, wherein the reflection and/or display element is configured to be displaced between its rest position and its at least one display position by the support. The reflection and/or display element and the support are connected via first, second, third and fourth surfaces, the first and second surfaces being curved surfaces having a first radius, and the third and fourth surfaces being planar or curved surfaces having a second radius, the second radius corresponding to at least double the first radius.
