  • Publication number: 20250155706
    Abstract: A head up display arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a picture generation unit having a plurality of light emitters each emitting blue light. A plurality of collimating optics receive the blue light from the light emitters and collimate the received blue light. At least one phosphor element receives the collimated blue light and converts the collimated blue light to diffuse white light. A liquid crystal display receives the diffuse white light and emits a light field dependent upon the diffuse white light. At least one mirror reflects the light field emitted by the liquid crystal display such that the reflected light field is again reflected by a windshield of the motor vehicle so as to be visible by a human driver of the motor vehicle as a virtual image.

  • Publication number: 20240176051
    Abstract: A backlighting arrangement is for a head up display that presents a virtual image to a human driver of a motor vehicle. The arrangement includes a light source emitting light with a non-uniform brightness over a field of view of the human driver. A diffuser includes a surface through which the light emitted by the light source passes. The surface has a texture that varies with position on the surface. The texture scatters the light such that the brightness of the light over a field of view of the human driver is more uniform after passing through the diffuser at a given average brightness than it would be with a diffuser configured to scatter light independent of position after passing through the diffuser.
