  • Patent number: 11860362
    Abstract: A head up display mirror holder arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a picture generation unit producing a light field. A mirror reflects the light field such that the light field is visible to the driver as a virtual image. A mirror holder has two opposite ends and an activation feature. The two opposite ends are aligned along a rotational axis of the mirror. The mirror holder retains the mirror. Each of two bushings is coupled to a respective opposite end of the mirror holder. A calibration switch has minimum proximity to the activation feature of the mirror holder.

  • Publication number: 20220155605
    Abstract: A head up display arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a head up display producing a virtual image that is visible to a driver of the motor vehicle when he is sitting in a driver's seat and his eyes are above a first vertical level and below a second vertical level. An eye tracking system detects a vertical level of the eyes of the driver and transmits a height signal indicative of the detected vertical level of the eyes of the driver. A motorized seat height adjustment module adjusts a vertical level of the driver's seat. An electronic controller is communicatively coupled to the eye tracking system and to the motorized seat height adjustment module. The electronic controller controls the motorized seat height adjustment module based on the height signal to move the driver's eyes to a vertical position above the first vertical level and below the second vertical level.

  • Publication number: 20210193086
    Abstract: A head up display arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a picture generation unit emitting a light field including an image. A mirror is positioned to reflect the light field after the light field has been emitted by the picture generation unit. A windshield is positioned to reflect the light field after the light field has been reflected by the mirror such that a human driver sees the image in the light field after the light field has been reflected by the windshield, and such that the driver sees the image as a virtual image that appears to be outside of the windshield when eyes of the driver are in an imaginary eyebox. An electronic processor is communicatively coupled to the picture generation unit and translates the image on the picture generation unit display to thereby change a vertical level of the eyebox.
