Definitions

  • the disclosure generally relates to optical systems, particularly optical systems for heads up display systems.
  • the predetermined virtual image region includes a largest lateral dimension d’, where d’/D’ ⁇ 0.25.
  • d’/D’ ⁇ 0.25.
  • the first location has a corresponding second location within the active display region.
  • An image ray that is emitted by the active display region from the second location is substantially polarized along a third direction when incident on the windshield in an incident plane.
  • the first and third directions are substantially parallel to the incident plane
  • FIG. 3 schematically illustrates an active display region of a display of an optical system according to some embodiments
  • the optical system (300) includes a display (10) having an active display region (11), and a windshield (40) of a vehicle (110) having a reflective polarizer (140) embedded therein.
  • the active display region (11) is configured to emit an image (20) for viewing by an eye (30) of a viewer.
  • the eye is configured to see a virtual image (70) of the reflected image to allow the viewer to view various types of information, such as speed, fuel level, temperature, warnings, directions, etc. on the windshield.
  • the reflective polarizer (140) may be configured to receive the image (20) emitted by the active display region (11) and reflect a portion (22) of the received image toward the eye (30).
  • the emitted image includes a first emitted image cone (23) emitted from the first location (14) as best shown in FIG. 6. While it may be understood that the at least one first location (14) within the predetermined region (13) of the active display region (11) will emit light over the first emitted image cone (23), only one ray of light is depicted for ease of illustration.
