  • Publication number: 20180052321
    Abstract: A light-sensing heads-up display device for automobiles is provided with an emissive mode and a reflective mode. The emissive mode is activated when an ambient light sensor detects the vehicle is operating in relative darkness. The reflective mode is activated when ambient light sensor detects the vehicle is operating in relatively bright light. Emissive mode uses a video display to project reversed navigational data which is then seen in mirror image on a driver's windshield. Reflective mode uses external sunlight to reflect reversed navigational data from white particles in an e-ink display, which is then seen in mirror image on a driver's windshield. Light-sensing heads-up display device communicates wirelessly with a smartphone or navigation device to receive navigation data and may be operated by voice command. Cognitive display methods translate received navigation data for minimal distraction.
