Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to an angle calculation method and a panoramic head-up display system. Background Technology
[0002] A panoramic head-up display (P-HUD) is an advanced in-vehicle display technology that generates images through a projection unit (PGU) and projects these images onto the windshield or a separate transparent panel using an optical reflection system. This creates a virtual image that floats in front of the vehicle, allowing the driver to obtain driving information without looking down. It consists of a display screen, an optical reflection system, display units, and a control module. Its working principle involves reflecting images into the driver's field of vision through optical reflection and optical path design. Its optical principles are based on virtual image imaging, optical path design, and reflection and transmission. This system improves driving safety and convenience.
[0003] Because the incident angle of light from a P-HUD is close to the Brewster angle (approximately 57°) of a car windshield, near this angle, the windshield reflects almost no P-polarized light, but has a high reflectivity for S-polarized light. To improve light utilization, most manufacturers use only S-polarized light as the light source. However, polarized sunglasses block S-polarized light to prevent glare, thus severely affecting image visibility when worn. The traditional approach is to directly rotate the polarization unit 90° and attach it to the surface of the display screen to enhance P-polarized light reflection and suppress S-polarized light reflection, but this method has low utilization of P-polarized light.

[0027] To address the technical problem in existing technologies where polarization unit 3 is directly rotated 90° and attached to the surface of display screen 2 to enhance P-polarized light reflection and suppress S-polarized light reflection, but the utilization rate of P-polarized light is low, this application provides an angle calculation method and a panoramic head-up display system. Through precise calculation, this application can obtain the rotation angle θ of polarization unit 3 that achieves the maximum reflectivity of P-polarized light. This ensures that P-polarized light can be efficiently reflected into the driver's line of sight, significantly improving the driver's visibility when wearing polarized sunglasses, thereby enhancing driving safety and driving experience.
[0028] Figures 1 to 3 An angle calculation method provided in this application embodiment is applied to a panoramic head-up display system. The panoramic head-up display system includes a windshield 1, a display screen 2, and a polarization unit 3. The plane of the polarization unit 3 is arranged parallel to the plane of the display screen 2. The method includes the following steps: Step S100: Calculate the normal vector of the display plane of display screen 2 based on three non-collinear points on the surface of display screen 2. Determine three non-collinear points on the surface of display screen 2. ,but In one embodiment, Then the vector = ,vector = The normal vector of the display plane of display screen 2 is calculated by the cross product of vectors. ( For example, in a specific embodiment, assume point The coordinates are respectively (1, 2, 3) (4, 5, 6) and (7, 8, 9), then the calculated vector =(3, 3, 3) and =(6, 6, 6). Since these two vectors are collinear, it is necessary to choose a non-collinear point, such as point... The coordinates are respectively (1, 2, 3) (4, 5, 6) and (7, 8, 10), the normal vector calculated at this time is n=(0, 0, 6), indicating that the display plane of display screen 2 has a certain tilt angle in the Z direction.
[0029] Calculating the normal vector of the display plane of display screen 2 using the above method enables precise description and positioning of the display plane, providing an accurate geometric basis for subsequent optical design and angle calculation of polarization unit 3. Specifically, this method ensures the accurate geometric relationship between the polarization direction of polarization unit 3 and the display plane of display screen 2, thereby maximizing the reflection efficiency of P-polarized light and improving light utilization and display effect. For example, in practical applications, precise calculation of the normal vector ensures more accurate angle adjustment of polarization unit 3, allowing drivers to clearly see the information on display screen 2 even when wearing polarized sunglasses, significantly improving driving safety and user experience.
[0030] For step S200, please refer to... Figure 2 According to the normal vector of the reflecting plane and the direction vector of the incident ray Calculate the direction vector of P-polarized light. .
[0031] Here, the reflecting plane is the plane containing the incident and reflected rays, used to calculate the direction vector of the P-polarized light. First, determine the normal vector of the reflecting plane. and the direction vector of the incident ray Assume the normal vector of the reflecting plane is... ( The direction vector of the incident ray is ( According to the definition of p-polarized light, the direction vector of p-polarized light... It should be parallel to both the incident plane and the reflecting plane, and the normal vector of the reflecting plane is... The direction vector of the incident ray Therefore, the direction vector of P-polarized light It can be calculated through the following steps: ; The direction vector of P-polarized light is calculated using the method described above. This method provides precise geometric parameters for the design of optical systems, ensuring that P-polarized light achieves optimal reflection efficiency during reflection. Specifically, this method effectively avoids light intensity loss caused by inaccurate polarization direction, improving the overall performance of the system. For example, in panoramic head-up display systems (P-HUDs), this is achieved by accurately calculating the direction vector of P-polarized light. This ensures that the polarization direction of polarization unit 3 is consistent with the direction of P-polarized light, thereby maximizing the reflectivity of P-polarized light and improving light utilization and display effect. Furthermore, this method can significantly improve driver visibility when wearing polarized sunglasses, enhancing the driving experience and improving driving safety.
[0032] Please see Figure 2 To facilitate the calculation of the normal vector of the reflecting plane, the coordinates of the intersection point between the main optical path and the windshield 1 are obtained. Coordinates of the center point of the eye ellipse The screen displays the coordinates of the center point of the area. ; Then the normal vector of the reflecting plane is: ; And the direction vector of the incident ray ; The direction vector of the P-polarized light mentioned above The coordinates of the intersection point between the main optical path and windshield 1 can then be used. Coordinates of the center point of the eye ellipse The screen displays the coordinates of the center point of the area. Confirm the three coordinates.
[0033] By acquiring the coordinates of the intersection point of the main optical path and the windshield 1, the coordinates of the center point of the eye ellipse, and the coordinates of the center point of the screen display area, and calculating the normal vector of the reflecting plane and the direction vector of the incident light, this technical solution can provide a precise geometric basis for the optical design of the panoramic head-up display system (P-HUD). This method ensures the accuracy and stability of the optical path, enabling P-polarized light to achieve efficient reflection on the windshield 1, thereby significantly improving the brightness and clarity of the display system. Simultaneously, through precise geometric parameter calculations, the layout of the optical system can be optimized, reducing optical path deviations caused by design errors, further improving system reliability and user experience. Furthermore, this method can effectively adapt to the geometric differences between the windshield 1 and the display screen 2 of different vehicle models, enhancing the system's versatility and adaptability, providing automakers with more flexible design solutions, and reducing development costs and time.
[0034] For step S300, please refer to... Figure 2 According to the definition of P-polarized light, a perpendicular line 12 is drawn in the reflecting plane, perpendicular to the incident ray. The projection of the perpendicular line 12 onto the display screen 2 is the projection line. The direction vector of the projection line is calculated. .
[0035] In this embodiment, according to the definition of P-polarized light, the polarization direction of P-polarized light is parallel to the incident plane and the reflecting plane (i.e., the plane formed by the incident light or reflected light and the normal). In this application, in order to obtain the polarization direction of P-polarized light, after obtaining the normal vector of the reflecting plane and the direction vector of the incident light, a unit vector perpendicular to the incident light vector is first drawn in the reflecting plane with the intersection of the main light path and the windshield 1 as the starting point, which is the vibration direction line of P-polarized light. Then, the perpendicular line 12 is orthogonally projected through the plane normal vector of the display screen 2 to obtain its two-dimensional projection line on the surface of the display screen 2. The direction vector of the projection line is obtained by subtracting the starting point coordinate from the end point coordinate of the projection line, which is the polarization direction of the polarization element above the display screen 2 of this application.
[0036] According to the formula for the projection of a vector onto a plane, the direction vector of the projection line can be determined. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0037] in, Let be the direction vector of the P-polarized light, which is the unit vector perpendicular to the incident ray vector mentioned above. This is the normal vector of the display plane of display screen 2.
[0038] By defining P-polarized light as parallel to the reflecting plane and perpendicular to the incident light, a two-step method of "drawing a perpendicular line 12 to the incident light and then projecting it onto the display screen 2" can accurately calculate the true projection direction of P-polarized light on the screen surface. This avoids the angular error caused by directly assuming a linear correspondence, ensuring that the transmission axis of the polarization unit 3 is strictly aligned with the vibration direction of the P-light. This increases the windshield's reflectivity to P-polarized light from less than 2% to over 15%. Specifically, even when wearing polarized sunglasses, the driver can still see a HUD virtual image with a brightness of ≥800 cd / m², meeting the requirements for use in strong daylight. At the same time, it reduces the visual angle difference caused by rotating the polarizer, achieving high brightness and high contrast display of the panoramic P-HUD across all vehicle models and at all eye elliptical positions.
[0039] Step S400: Obtain two points set vertically along the display area of display screen 2, and calculate the reference vector. .
[0040] In one embodiment, two non-overlapping pixel-level coordinate points are arbitrarily selected along the longitudinal direction (typically corresponding to the front-rear direction of the vehicle body) within the display area of the display screen 2, and denoted as points. With point Using the A→B vector as the vertical reference vector for the display area, the calculation formula is the reference vector. The reference vector in this application is only used to determine the polarization direction of polarization unit 3, so that the polarization direction of polarization unit 3 is consistent with the direction of the corresponding P-polarized light. The physical longitudinal direction of display screen 2 is directly locked by the "two-point longitudinal method", avoiding deviations of more than ±2° caused by relying on the nominal size of the mold or manual measurement, so that the calculation error of the subsequent polarizer rotation angle θ is controlled within ±0.1°. This ensures that the angle between the projection direction vector of P-polarized light and the transmission axis of polarizer is minimized, the reflected brightness is increased by more than 10%, and the difference in brightness between the left and right eyes caused by the misalignment of the reference direction is eliminated. This ensures that the driver can see a panoramic image with a uniform brightness of ≥600 cd / m² within a horizontal eye ellipse range of ±100 mm, thereby improving the mass production consistency and driving safety of P-HUD.
[0041] For step S500, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 and Figure 3 According to the direction vector of the projection line and reference vector Calculate the rotation angle θ of polarization unit 3.
[0042] In one embodiment of this application, the obtained projection line direction vector is... Vertical reference vector of display screen 2 After normalization, according to the formula for calculating the angle between spatial vectors, we know that:
[0043] The formula for calculating the rotation angle θ of polarization unit 3 is as follows:
[0044] The required rotation angle θ of polarization unit 3 can be directly calculated. By using the one-step dot product method of "projection line-reference vector", the calculation accuracy of the rotation angle θ of polarization unit 3 can be improved to ±0.05°, which reduces 3-5 iterations compared with traditional trial installation calibration and shortens the development cycle. After the angle is accurate, the reflectivity of P-polarized light on the inner surface of the windshield is increased from less than 2% to 15%-18%, so that the HUD brightness is still higher than 600 cd / m² when wearing polarized sunglasses. At the same time, the lateral brightness gradient caused by the angle error is eliminated, ensuring that the brightness difference between the left and right eyes of the driver is less than 5% within ±100 mm of the eye ellipse, which significantly improves the mass production consistency and driving safety of the panoramic P-HUD.
[0045] Please see Figure 2This application also proposes a panoramic head-up display system, which adopts the above-mentioned angle calculation method, including a windshield 1, a display screen 2, and a polarization unit 3. The display screen 2 can emit light and project it onto the windshield 1. The windshield 1 is used to reflect the light to the human eye for imaging. The polarization unit 3 is located on the optical path from the display screen 2 to the windshield 1. The plane where the polarization unit 3 is located is parallel to the plane where the display screen 2 is located. The polarization direction of the polarization unit 3 is set at an angle θ with the direction from the bottom to the top of the display screen 2. The polarization unit 3 can enable the P-polarized light in the light emitted by the display screen 2 to be projected onto the windshield 1.
[0046] In this embodiment, the panoramic head-up display system (P-HUD) consists of a windshield 1, a display screen 2, and a polarization unit 3. The polarization unit 3 contains a linear polarization film, and its plane is 0.5 degrees parallel to the light-emitting surface of the display screen 2. The film has a parallel gap of less than mm and is attached to the outside of the display screen 2 by a vacuum adsorption fixture according to the calculated rotation angle θ. The long side of the film is rotated by an angle θ relative to the longitudinal direction (bottom → top) of the display screen 2. θ is calculated at once in the main optical path model of the whole vehicle according to the aforementioned "projection line-reference vector" algorithm, with a value range of 15°–30°. This cuts off the S-light component emitted by the LCD, and only P-polarized light is incident on the inner surface of the windshield. Since the rotation angle θ of the polarization unit 3 is locked and precisely attached at once by the whole vehicle-level optical path algorithm, the system can improve the P-polarized light reflection efficiency by 8-10 times without additional gain film or wedge glass. Compared with traditional S-HUD, the brightness loss when wearing polarized sunglasses is reduced from >80% to <15%, while maintaining an ultra-wide field of view and ultra-long virtual image distance without ghosting. This structure only adds a low-cost polarization film, does not change the windshield curvature, is compatible with existing HUD brackets, effectively reduces the cost per vehicle, meets automotive-grade reliability requirements, and realizes high brightness, low cost, and rapid mass production of panoramic P-HUD.
[0047] Please see Figure 2 The windshield 1 has a reflective part 11, which is located at one end of the windshield 1 near the display screen 2. The reflective part 11 is used to reflect the light projected by the display screen 2.
[0048] In one embodiment, the reflective portion 11 is processed by magnetron sputtering, nanoimprinting, or laser etching on a local area of the inner surface of the windshield 1 to form a high-reflectivity optical functional layer, which can selectively enhance the reflectivity of P-polarized light while maintaining high transmittance of visible light. The reflective portion 11 is located at the end of the windshield 1 near the display screen 2, typically corresponding to the incident area of the HUD light path. Its range is customized according to the eye ellipse and the position of the virtual image to ensure efficient reflection of light into the driver's field of vision. For example, a TiO2 / SiO2 multilayer dielectric film is used as the reflective portion 11, with a film thickness of 80–120 nm, increasing the reflectivity of P-polarized light to over 18% and controlling the reflectivity of S-polarized light to below 5%. Laser etching technology is used to form a micron-level periodic structure on the glass surface to achieve selective reflection enhancement while reducing haze. An ITO conductive film is first deposited in the reflective portion 11 area, followed by a multilayer reflective film, to achieve integrated defrosting and reflection functions, suitable for cold regions. By partially setting a reflector 11 on the windshield 1, the reflection efficiency of HUD light, especially P-polarized light, can be significantly improved without reducing the light transmittance of the entire vehicle's field of vision. This increases the brightness of the virtual image by 8–10 times, ensuring that the driver can still clearly see the high-brightness image when wearing polarized sunglasses. At the same time, it avoids the problems of high cost, large ghosting, and optical distortion caused by coating the entire glass surface, significantly reducing costs. Furthermore, the reflector 11 is firmly bonded to the glass body, meeting automotive-grade weather resistance requirements, greatly improving the display effect, system reliability, and mass production feasibility of the panoramic HUD.
