The flat lens (150) is arranged in the optical path between the image source (130) and the intended position of said at least one eye (180) of the user of the HUD. The HUD further comprises a combiner (140). At least one surface (141, 142) of the combiner (140) is a free-form surface. The combiner (140) is arranged in the optical path between the optical component(160) and the intended position of said at least one eye (180) of the user of the HUD. The present invention also relates to an airborne vehicle(10), such as an airplane.
Abstract:
A head-up display system for a vehicle facilitating the use of night vision goggles for a person in the vehicle during night vision conditions, the system comprising a light source for providing light to an image source, which image source is arranged to project an image on a semi-transparent combiner mirror; the combiner mirror being arranged to superimpose the projected image onto a view of the environment in front of the vehicle by transmitting light rays from the environment and at the same time reflecting the projected image towards the eyes of an observer wherein the system comprises a first and a second light source for alternatively providing light to the image source; the first light source being arranged to emit light of a first colour to be used during daylight conditions, and the second light source being arranged to emit light of a second colour to be used during night vision conditions, wherein the first colour is in a first light emission spectrum and perceived as green and the second colour is in a second emission spectrum and perceived as yellow or orange.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a reflector comprising a reflector cavity (110) having a front opening for receiving EMR into the reflector cavity (110) for subsequent reflection of the EMR by at least one reflector element (120) arranged within the reflector cavity (110), characterized in that the reflector further comprises a front cover (130) that has high EM R transmittance in at least parts of the EM spectrum, the front cover (130) being arranged to cover the front opening of the reflector cavity (110), and that the front cover (130) and front opening form a gastight seal (140) impermeable to gas to prevent transport of material into and out of the reflector cavity (110) through the front opening.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a head up or head mounted display arrangement and a method for presenting at least one image via at least one surface element of a head up or head mounted display arrangement. The arrangement comprises at least one image generating element (301, 302) arranged to generate an image in a first image plane (346´, 346''),at least one surface element,and a fibre optic face plate (340).The face plate is arranged in relation to the at least one image generating element such that the first surface lies at a first image plane. A second image plane lies at the second surface and the at least one surface element is arranged in the beam path from the second surface. The first image plane comprises a plurality of first part image planes each associated with an individual first part surface of the fibre optic face plate and/or the second image plane comprises a plurality of second part image planes each associated with an individual second part surface of the fibre optic face plate.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates devices and a method for monitoring a display image (2) in a transparent optical projection display. They disclose a display image monitor (1) comprising a fiber optic face plate (4) and an image sensor (5). The fiber optic face plate (4) comprises a first surface (4a) with optic fiber ends and a second surface (4b) with corresponding optic fiber ends and transfers light from the first surface (4a) to the second surface (4b) through the optic fibers, wherein the first surface abuts against a part (2a) of the display image (2) at a focused image plane (2b) and thus the light of the part of the display image enters the optic fiber ends and wherein the second surface is arranged to direct the part of the display image to the image sensor, thereby transferring the part of the display image to the image sensor.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an image generator device (100) for changing the direction of at least one emitted light cone at a surface (113), comprising an image generator (130) and a fibre optical faceplate (110) having a first (112) and a second surface (113), the fibre optical faceplate (110) being arranged to transmit light from the image generator (130) so at least a part of light entering the first surface (112) of the fibre optical faceplate (110) exits through the second surface (113) of the fibre optical faceplate (110) and pass through an aperture, wherein the fibre optical faceplate (110) comprises a multitude of optical fibres (111) and light exiting the second surface (113) through optical fibres (111) each form an emitted light cone.
