==HEAD-UP DISPLAY APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17890622 titled 'HEAD-UP DISPLAY APPARATUS

==Simplified Explanation==

The head-up display apparatus described in the patent application includes an image source with a display, a first mirror with a predetermined transmittance, a second mirror that can move between an operating position and a protection position, a light sensor for detecting sunlight, and a controller for controlling the movement of the second mirror based on the sunlight detected.

* The first mirror is located above the image source and allows light transmission between the image source and a windshield.
* The second mirror can selectively move between an operating position, where light transmission is allowed, and a protection position, where light transmission is blocked.
* The light sensor is positioned behind the first mirror to detect sunlight.
* The controller is connected to the driving unit and controls the movement of the second mirror based on the sunlight detected by the light sensor.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Automotive industry: The head-up display apparatus can be used in vehicles to project information onto the windshield, providing drivers with important information without having to look away from the road.
* Aviation industry: The apparatus can be used in aircraft to display critical flight information to pilots, enhancing situational awareness and reducing the need to look down at instruments.
* Military applications: The technology can be utilized in military vehicles and aircraft to provide soldiers and pilots with real-time information, improving their operational effectiveness.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Minimizes distractions: By projecting information onto the windshield, the apparatus reduces the need for drivers and pilots to look away from their primary field of view, minimizing distractions and improving safety.
* Enhances visibility: The selective movement of the second mirror allows for blocking sunlight when it is too bright, ensuring optimal visibility of the displayed information.
* Versatile usage: The apparatus can be used in various industries and applications, providing a flexible solution for displaying information in a convenient and accessible manner.

Benefits of this technology:

* Improved safety: By keeping drivers and pilots focused on the road or sky, the head-up display apparatus enhances safety by reducing distractions and improving situational awareness.
* Convenience and accessibility: The projected information is easily visible without the need to look away, providing users with important data in a convenient and accessible manner.
* Adaptability: The apparatus can adapt to different lighting conditions by selectively blocking sunlight, ensuring optimal visibility and usability in various environments.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A head-up display apparatus includes an image source including a display; a first mirror located above the image source, and having a predetermined transmittance; a second mirror facing the first mirror, and selectively moving, by a driving unit, between an operating position and a protection position; a light sensor located behind the first mirror, and configured for detecting sunlight; and a controller electrically connected to the driving unit and configured for controlling the driving unit based on the sunlight detected by the light sensor, wherein the operating position is a position in which light transmission is allowed between the image source and a windshield, and the protection position is a position in which light transmission is blocked between the image source and the windshield.
