    Abstract: A display system for a vehicle includes a head-up display unit operable to display at a display area information that is viewable by a driver of the equipped vehicle when the driver is normally operating the equipped vehicle. When not displaying images at the display area but when the head-up display unit projects some light, there is a postcard effect at the display area. The head-up display unit includes a display screen and a compensation film that attenuates light passing through the display screen to reduce the postcard effect at the display area of the equipped vehicle.
