DISPLAY, DISPLAY SYSTEM, IMAGE PROJECTION SYSTEM, AND MOVABLE OBJECT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18243162 titled 'DISPLAY, DISPLAY SYSTEM, IMAGE PROJECTION SYSTEM, AND MOVABLE OBJECT
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a head-up display system that includes a backlight, a light-diffusion member, a Fresnel lens, a display screen, and a mirror.
- The backlight emits light.
- The light emitted by the backlight passes through a light-diffusion member.
- The light transmitted through the light-diffusion member then passes through a Fresnel lens.
- The light transmitted through the Fresnel lens is then displayed on a display screen.
- A mirror reflects the light transmitted through the light-diffusion member towards a target space.
Potential Applications
- Automotive industry: This head-up display system can be used in vehicles to project important information, such as speed and navigation, onto the windshield, allowing the driver to keep their eyes on the road.
- Aviation industry: The system can be utilized in aircraft to display critical flight information, such as altitude and heading, directly in the pilot's line of sight.
- Gaming and entertainment: The technology can be implemented in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) devices, enhancing the user's experience by overlaying digital information onto the real world.
Problems Solved
- Improved visibility: The use of a light-diffusion member and Fresnel lens ensures that the displayed information is clear and easily visible to the user.
- Minimal distraction: By projecting information onto a transparent display screen, the user can maintain focus on their surroundings while still accessing important data.
- Space-saving design: The compact nature of the head-up display system allows for easy integration into various devices without occupying excessive space.
Benefits
- Enhanced safety: By providing crucial information directly in the user's line of sight, the head-up display system reduces the need for the user to divert their attention from the task at hand.
- Improved user experience: The clear and easily readable display ensures that the information is readily accessible and understandable to the user.
- Versatile integration: The system can be integrated into different devices and industries, offering a wide range of applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a head-up display including a backlight configured to emit light, a light-diffusion member through which the light emitted by the backlight is transmitted, a Fresnel lens through which the light transmitted through the light-diffusion member is transmitted, a display screen through which the light transmitted through the Fresnel lens is transmitted, and a mirror that reflects the light transmitted through the light-diffusion member toward a target space.
