BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present application, the drawings required for use in the implementation manner will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some implementation manners of the present application. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained like these drawings without paying any creative work.

[0028] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a head-up display system provided in an embodiment of the present application;

[0029] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a head-up display glass provided in an embodiment of the present application;

[0030] Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the transparent nanofilm provided in the embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The specific embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present application are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore, the present application is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0032] For ease of understanding, the terms involved in the embodiments of the present application are first explained.

[0033] Thickness: physical thickness.

[0034] Refractive index: It is the refractive index of the transmitted light at a wavelength of 550nm.

[0035] Incident angle: It is the angle between the projection light generated by the projection device when it is incident on the head-up display glass and the surface normal at the incident position.

[0036] The present application provides a head-up display glass and a head-up display system, which can solve the problem that the HUD image presented by the traditional head-up display glass is not clear, so that the driver or passenger can see the HUD image more clearly. Since the traditional head-up display glass uses a wedge-shaped intermediate layer to eliminate ghosting, it has the disadvantages of high material cost, high process difficulty, different wedge angles need to be designed for different car models, and poor applicability. The head-up display glass provided by the present application can better replace this traditional head-up display glass. At the same time, this traditional head-up display glass can only be used with projection light with an incident angle in the range of 60°-70°, and the field of view (FOV) of the corresponding HUD image is usually less than 5°, which can only realize close-range and small-size image display. Moreover, as the range of the incident angle increases, the ghosting problem of the head-up display projection imaging becomes more and more serious, and the ghosting problem cannot be completely solved by relying solely on the wedge-shaped intermediate layer. Compared with this traditional head-up display glass, the head-up display glass provided in the present application can also be used with projection light with an incident angle in the range of 38°-85°, and can meet the use of AR-HUD (augmented reality head-up reality) with a field of view angle greater than or equal to 10°, achieving longer distance and larger size image display, thereby further improving visual comfort and enhancing the user experience.

[0037] See also Figure 1 The vehicle 1000 includes a vehicle body 200 and a head-up display system 100. The head-up display system 100 is connected to the vehicle body 200. The head-up display system 100 includes a projection device 20 and a head-up display glass 10.

[0038] It should be noted that Figure 1 The purpose is only to schematically describe the connection relationship between the vehicle body 200 and the head-up display system 100, and it does not specifically limit the connection position, specific structure and quantity of each device. The structure illustrated in the embodiment of the present application does not constitute a specific limitation on the vehicle 1000. In other embodiments of the present application, the vehicle 1000 may include more or fewer components than shown in the figure, or combine some components, or split some components, or arrange the components differently. The illustrated components can be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

[0039] The head-up display glass 10 may be a front windshield of the vehicle 1000, and the projection device 20 may be disposed inside the vehicle. Figure 2, the projection device 20 emits projection light toward the head-up display glass 10, and the projection light is reflected by the head-up display glass 10, and the image presented is received by the human eye. The angle a between the center line of the projection light beam emitted by the projection device 20 and the surface normal 1 at the incident position of the head-up display glass 10 ranges from 38° to 85° (including the endpoint values ​​38° and 85°). In order to avoid using a wedge-shaped intermediate layer with a larger wedge angle, the projection light emitted by the projection device 20 includes P-polarized light, and the proportion of P-polarized light in the projection light is greater than or equal to 80%, preferably greater than or equal to 90%, more preferably greater than or equal to 95%, or even 100% (that is, the projection light is pure P-polarized light). The present application uses P-polarized light for projection, and utilizes the fact that P-polarized light has a low reflectivity when incident on the glass and air interface, especially that basically no reflection occurs when incident at the Brewster angle θB, and the transparent nanofilm can reflect part of the P-polarized light, thereby completely eliminating the visual ghosting phenomenon; compared with traditional head-up display glass that can only be used with S-polarized light projection light, the improved head-up display glass and head-up display system of the present application can meet the usage needs of drivers wearing sunglasses.

[0040] It is understandable that the head-up display glass provided by the present application can also be used with projection light having an incident angle in the range of 38°-85°, which greatly expands the incident angle range of the projection light, so that the projection device 20 can emit projection light to a larger area on the head-up display glass 10, and the projection light can be reflected by the head-up display glass 10 to form an image, and even the projection light emitted by the projection device 20 can be reflected and formed in the entire area of ​​the head-up display glass 10. When the incident angle of the projection light on the head-up display glass 10 is 38° and 85°, the head-up display glass 10 can produce a clear HUD image with the projection light, and has a good display effect.

[0041] See also Figure 3 The head-up display glass 10 includes a laminated glass 11 and a transparent nano-film 12. The laminated glass 11 includes an inner surface 1120 and an outer surface 1100 that are arranged opposite to each other. The inner surface 1120 is the surface facing the interior of the vehicle when the laminated glass 11 is installed in the vehicle 1000, and the transparent nano-film 12 is arranged on the inner surface 1120. Exemplarily, when visible light is vertically incident on the head-up display glass 10, the visible light transmittance of the head-up display glass 10 is greater than or equal to 70%, which meets the regulatory requirements for the front windshield of the vehicle 1000.

[0042] Please refer again Figure 2Depositing the transparent nanofilm 12 on the inner surface 1120 of the laminated glass 11 can increase the reflection of the head-up display glass to P-polarized light, so that when the P-polarized light is incident on the transparent nanofilm 12, it is reflected with a higher reflectivity to form a head-up display main image 201, and the P-polarized light entering the laminated glass is reflected with a lower reflectivity at the junction of the outer surface 1100 of the laminated glass 11 and the air to form a head-up display secondary image 202, and the P-polarized light forming the head-up display secondary image 202 will also be absorbed by the laminated glass and reflected again by the transparent nanofilm 12, further weakening the reflectivity of the head-up display secondary image 202, thereby obtaining a clear HUD image with no visual ghosting and high reflectivity.

[0043] It should be noted that the laminated glass 11 used as the front windshield is usually curved, but the shape of the laminated glass 11 is not limited to the shape described above, and it can be any shape that meets the requirements for the use of vehicle window glass, for example, the laminated glass 11 can also be in the shape of a flat plate, and the embodiments of the present application do not have strict requirements on the shape of the laminated glass 11. Exemplarily, the laminated glass 11 has a vertical curvature radius from the bottom edge to the top edge. In order to facilitate the design and production of the head-up display glass 10, the vertical curvature radius is 4000mm-20000mm.

[0044] The laminated glass 11 includes an outer glass 110, an inner glass 112, and an intermediate layer 111 disposed between the outer glass 110 and the inner glass 112. The surface of the outer glass 110 away from the intermediate layer 111 is the outer surface 1100, and the surface of the inner glass 112 away from the intermediate layer 111 is the inner surface 1120. The transparent nano film 12 is disposed on the inner surface 1120 of the inner glass 112. Exemplarily, the outer glass 110 and the inner glass 112 can be made of transparent glass or tinted glass, such as tinted green glass, tinted gray glass, etc., but the visible light transmittance of the outer glass 110 and the inner glass 112 must be greater than or equal to 70%. The material of the outer glass 110 and the inner glass 112 can include soda-lime silicate glass, borosilicate glass, or aluminosilicate glass, etc. The thickness of the outer glass 110 may be 1.5 mm to 3.5 mm, such as 1.6 mm, 1.8 mm, 2.1 mm, 2.5 mm, 3.0 mm, 3.5 mm, etc. The thickness of the inner glass 112 may be 0.7 mm to 2.5 mm, such as 0.7 mm, 0.9 mm, 1.1 mm, 1.6 mm, 2.1 mm, 2.5 mm, etc. Exemplarily, the thickness of the inner glass 112 is less than that of the outer glass 110. For example, the thickness of the outer glass 110 is at least 0.3 mm greater than that of the inner glass 112. The use of a thinner inner glass 112 may form a laminated glass structure with an asymmetric thickness. On the basis of reducing the total thickness of the head-up display glass to achieve lightweight, the strength of the head-up display glass is improved to a certain extent, and the quality of the head-up display image can be further improved.

[0045] The middle layer 111 is used to connect the outer glass 110 and the inner glass 112, so that the head-up display glass 10 presents a sandwich structure as a whole, so as to improve the safety of the head-up display glass 10 and meet the safety standards and regulatory requirements of vehicle window glass. The material of the middle layer 111 can be polyvinyl butyral (PVB), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU) or ionic polymer film (SGP), etc. Exemplarily, the middle layer 111 can be a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure, and the multi-layer structure can be exemplified by a double-layer structure, a three-layer structure, a four-layer structure, a five-layer structure, etc. The middle layer 111 can also have other functions, such as setting at least one colored area as a shadow band to reduce the interference of sunlight to the human eye, or adding an infrared absorber to have a sunscreen or heat insulation function, or adding an ultraviolet absorber to have an ultraviolet shielding function, or at least one layer of the multi-layer structure has a higher plasticizer content to have a sound insulation function. In order to eliminate ghosting, traditional head-up display glass usually uses a wedge-shaped intermediate layer with a wedge angle of at least 0.3mrad, which makes the design, production and debugging of the head-up display system more difficult. The head-up display glass provided in this application can be directly replaced with an ordinary intermediate layer of equal thickness. It is understandable that the present application may also select a wedge-shaped intermediate layer with a smaller wedge angle, for example, the wedge angle of the wedge-shaped intermediate layer is 0.01 to 0.15 mrad, such as 0.01 mrad, 0.02 mrad, 0.03 mrad, 0.04 mrad, 0.05 mrad, 0.06 mrad, 0.07 mrad, 0.08 mrad, 0.09 mrad, 0.10 mrad, 0.11 mrad, 0.12 mrad, 0.13 mrad, 0.14 mrad, 0.15 mrad, etc., so that the perspective double image generated by the scene in the external environment of the vehicle through the head-up display glass can be further eliminated. The wedge-shaped intermediate layer with a smaller wedge angle can be obtained by a simple stretching process, so that the reflection double image and the perspective double image can be eliminated at the same time in a low-cost manner, and a higher quality head-up display image and observation effect can be obtained. The intermediate layer 111 can be a transparent intermediate layer or a colored intermediate layer, and its visible light transmittance is greater than or equal to 80%, preferably greater than or equal to 85%, and more preferably greater than or equal to 90%. The thickness of the middle layer 111 may be 0.38 mm-1.6 mm, for example, 0.38 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.76 mm, 1.14 mm, 1.52 mm, 1.6 mm, etc.

[0046] See also Figure 4, the transparent nano film 12 includes a high refractive index layer 121 and a low refractive index layer 122.

Through the design matching of the first high refractive index layer 121a, the second high refractive index layer 121b, the first low refractive index layer 122a, the third high refractive index layer 121c and the second low refractive index layer 122b, the head-up display glass has a reflectivity of at least 13% for P-polarized light incident at an incident angle of 38° to 85°, meeting the requirements of a larger field of view (FOV) and even the requirements of AR-HUD, and can ensure that the optical properties, mechanical properties and appearance color of the transparent nanofilm 12 all meet the comprehensive requirements of vehicle window glass.

Specifically, the refractive indexes of the first high refractive index layer 121a, the second high refractive index layer 121b and the third high refractive index layer 121c are all greater than 1.8, preferably greater than or equal to 1.9. In order to better achieve that the optical properties, mechanical properties and appearance color of the transparent nanofilm 12 meet the comprehensive requirements of the vehicle window glass, the refractive index of the first high refractive index layer 121a is preferably 1.9-2.2, which can be exemplified by 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, etc. In order to better achieve that the optical properties, mechanical properties and appearance color of the transparent nanofilm 12 meet the comprehensive requirements of vehicle window glass, the refractive index of the second high refractive index layer 121b and the third high refractive index layer 121c is preferably greater than 2.2, more preferably greater than or equal to 2.3, and even preferably greater than or equal to 2.4, and can be 2.5, 2.65, 2.72, etc. The material of the first high refractive index layer 121a may include zinc tin oxide (ZnSnO x ), magnesium-doped zinc tin oxide (ZnSnMgO x ), titanium-doped zinc tin oxide (ZnSnTiO x ), zirconium-doped zinc tin oxide (ZnSnZrO x ), Silicon Aluminum Nitride (SiAlN x), silicon zirconium nitride (SiZrN x ), Silicon Aluminum Oxynitride (SiAlON x ), silicon zirconium oxynitride (SiZrON x ), Silicon Nitride (SiN x )、ZrO x ), zinc oxide (ZnO x ), aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO), hafnium- and aluminum-doped zinc oxide (HAZO), yttrium-doped zinc oxide (YZO), and gallium-doped zinc oxide (GZO).

[0049] In order to obtain a HUD image with a high reflectance, the head-up display glass 10 of the present application has a reflectivity of at least 13% for P-polarized light incident at an incident angle of 38° to 85°; preferably, the head-up display glass 10 has a reflectivity of at least 16% for P-polarized light incident at an incident angle of 55° to 85°; more preferably, the head-up display glass has a reflectivity of at least 18%, or at least 20%, or at least 22%, or at least 24% for P-polarized light incident at an incident angle of 65°, which helps to realize the commercial application of head-up display glass products.

[0050] In some embodiments, the refractive index of the first high refractive index layer 121a is lower than the refractive index of the second high refractive index layer 121b, and the difference between the refractive index of the first high refractive index layer 121a and the refractive index of the second high refractive index layer 121b is greater than or equal to 0.3, and the difference can be specifically exemplified as 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, etc. By designing and matching the refractive indices of the first high refractive index layer 121a and the second high refractive index layer 121b, the reflection spectrum of the head-up display glass 10 for P polarized light can be made smoother on the basis of obtaining a HUD image with a high reflectance ratio.
