Embodiment
In order to make object of the present invention, technical scheme and advantage clearly understand, below in conjunction with drawings and Examples, the present invention is further elaborated.Should be appreciated that specific embodiment described herein only in order to explain the present invention, be not intended to limit the present invention.
The luminous flux that the embodiment of the present invention controls more than 1 micro projector by the brightness of environmentally light exports, the luminous flux of more than 1 micro projector is made to export the surround lighting adapting to different brightness, again by more than 1 micro projector by running information projection on the windshield, demonstrate clearly and soft running information image thus, eye-observation is got up more clear and comfortable, substantially increase the display effect of looking squarely display, and under the prerequisite ensureing display effect, save the energy consumption of head-up display system.
The head-up display method that the embodiment of the present invention provides and system can be applied to the field such as automobile, aircraft, in this no limit.
Fig. 1 shows the realization flow figure of the head-up display method that the embodiment of the present invention provides, and details are as follows:
In step S101, the brightness of acquisition environment light.
In embodiments of the present invention, head-up display system adopts the brightness of optical sensor acquisition environment light.The light signal detected by photovalve acquisition environment light, then is converted to electric signal by photovalve by optical sensor.Preferably, optical sensor used herein is ambient light sensor, and ambient light sensor has good spectral response relative to other photosensitive devices.
In step s 102, according to the brightness of described surround lighting, the luminous flux controlling more than 1 micro projector exports, and described more than 1 micro projector adopts LASER Light Source.
As a preferably embodiment of the present invention, micro projector adopts laser diode (LaserDiode, LD) as light source.The luminous flux considering the laser diode that general micro projector adopts is 15 ~ 30LM(Lumen, lumen), therefore, the luminous flux of single micro projector exports the image quality requirements that cannot meet under high light, so can adopt two or more micro projectors.
