  • Patent number: 10948776
    Abstract: A head-up display including a display element illuminated by a plurality of light emitting elements. A lenslet is between a TIR lens array and the display element. The lenslet includes a first side facing the display element and a second side facing the TIR lens array. At least one of the first side and the second side includes a plurality of horizontal lenses or a plurality of vertical lenses configured to evenly distribute light from the TIR lens array across an eyebox generated by the head-up display and balance luminous uniformity and luminous intensity across the eyebox.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10795154
    Abstract: A head-up display assembly including a printed circuit board having a plurality of light emitting elements. A display element is illuminated by the plurality of light emitting elements. A total internal reflection (TIR) lens array includes a plurality of TIR lenses. Each one of the plurality of TIR lenses is aligned with a different one of the plurality of light emitting elements to reflect light emitted by the plurality of light emitting elements to the display element to illuminate the display element.
