Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below, by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The HUD displays conventional vehicle information on a windshield by utilizing an optical reflection principle, so that a driver does not need to frequently look down at driving parameters, and can pay more attention to observe the road surface, thereby realizing active driving safety.
The HUD can only display basic driving information such as vehicle speed, speed limit and the like in the early development stage, and along with the rapid development of an automatic driving technology, a driving auxiliary function gets on a vehicle rapidly, so that the application market of the HUD in the automobile industry is opened, information such as navigation guidance, road identification, intervention and exit of the driving auxiliary function and the like is displayed in front of the visual field of a driver, the process of frequently transferring the visual field of the driver to an instrument, a central control screen and the like is omitted, and the driving safety is greatly improved. Meanwhile, as new interactive display interfaces, entertainment information such as videos and games, information which is fused with surrounding environments and is enhanced to be displayed, and service information based on LBS (Location Based Services, mobile location service) positions are all coming out. Driven by technical progress and user experience upgrade, the HUD is required to output larger images to bear more information for timely display.
In the related art, in order to display richer picture contents, a plurality of PGUs are usually designed in the HUD or a scheme of selecting a PGU with a large size is adopted for implementation, however, the above-mentioned method has a dilemma that the HUD with a large packaging volume is difficult to get on a vehicle under the condition of limited arrangement space.
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention provides a head-up display system, which can effectively alleviate urgent requirements for a large PGU and reduce manufacturing costs.
The head-up display system provided by the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 1, and as shown in fig. 1, the head-up display system 20 includes an image generating unit 11, a first driving unit 12, a controller 13, and a reflecting unit 14.
The controller 13 is configured to obtain vehicle driving information and position setting information of the image generating unit, form the vehicle driving information into an image splitting source signal sequence according to the image splitting setting information of the target display image, generate a driving signal sequence corresponding to the image splitting source signal sequence according to the position setting information, and sequentially send out corresponding image splitting source signals and driving signals in the image splitting source signal sequence and the driving signal sequence.
The vehicle driving information may be understood as driving information of the vehicle during driving, and may include, for example, road information on which the vehicle is driving, vehicle speed information during driving of the vehicle, a navigation path of a driving destination of the vehicle, steering, and position information of the vehicle on a road, and the like. The position setting information can be understood as parameter information of the position where the image generating unit 11 is located. The split image setting information of the target display image at least includes the display content of the target display image and the distribution position of the display content corresponding to the split image.
The first driving unit 12 is connected to the controller 13 and the image generating unit 11, and is configured to sequentially receive the driving signals in the driving signal sequence, sequentially drive the image generating unit 11 to move to the corresponding target positions according to the driving signals, and the image generating unit 11 is configured to sequentially generate sub-image images at each target position according to the corresponding sub-image source signals, and emit light carrying the sub-image information.
The reflecting unit 14 is configured to sequentially project incident light carrying split image information onto the projection medium, so as to display corresponding split image in a split image setting area corresponding to the target area, where each split image is spliced into a target display image.
That is, under the control of the controller 13, the first driving unit 12 may sequentially drive the image generating units 11 according to the driving signal sequence to change the position of the image generating units 11 and change the direction of the light emitted by the image generating units 11, so that when the image generating units 11 are located at different positions, the light carrying different split image information can be emitted according to different split image source signals, and then the light carrying different split image information is reflected onto the projection medium by the reflecting unit 14, so that different split image images are displayed in different split image setting areas of the projection medium, and therefore, the principle of eye vision retention is utilized, that is, a complete image formed by splicing the split image images is displayed on the projection medium, namely, a target display image, for a user to view. By arranging the first driving unit 12 to adjust the light emission direction of the image generating unit 11, the light emitted by the image generating unit 11 can present a plurality of split images after being reflected by the reflecting unit 14, the aim of meeting a larger output picture can be fulfilled based on visual retention, and a plurality of image generating units or a large-size image generating unit is not required to be arranged, so that the miniaturized image generating unit can complete the large-size image output effect, the urgent requirement on a large-size PGU is effectively relieved, the whole packaging volume is reduced, the arrangement space is saved, and the manufacturing cost is reduced.
Specifically, referring to fig. 2, taking two split-image images as an example, the image generation process of the head-up display system 20: the controller 13 forms a split image source signal sequence and a drive signal sequence by integrating the received vehicle running information and the position setting information of the image generating unit 11, and forms a split image source signal sequence from the split image source signal 1, the split image source signal 2 …, the split image source signal n+1, and a drive signal sequence from the drive signal 1, the drive signal 2 …, and the drive signal n+1 as shown in fig. 2.
Further, the controller 13 sequentially distributes the split image source signals and the driving signals, for example, step1 in fig. 2 is that the controller 13 sends the driving signals 1 and the split image source signals 1, the first driving unit 12 drives the image generating unit 11 to move to the target position 1 corresponding to the driving signals 1 after receiving the driving signals 1, meanwhile, the image generating unit 11 receives the split image source signals 1 to generate the split image 1, and emits light carrying the information of the split image 1, and the light is reflected by the reflecting unit 14 and then displays the split image 1 at the split image setting area 1 corresponding to the target area, wherein the split image 1 can be displayed as road information and vehicle speed information of a vehicle.
After step1 is completed, the controller 13 enters step2, for example, step1 in fig. 2 sends a driving signal 2 and a split image source signal 2 to the controller 13, after receiving the driving signal 2, the first driving unit 12 drives the image generating unit 11 to move to a target position 2 corresponding to the driving signal 2, meanwhile, the image generating unit 11 receives the split image source signal 2 to generate a split image 2, and emits light carrying split image 2 information, and after the light is reflected by the reflecting unit 14, the split image 2 is displayed at a split image setting area 2 corresponding to the target area, wherein the split image 2 can be displayed as navigation path, steering and position information of a vehicle.
