Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle head-up display technology, and in particular to a head-up display ambient light circuit, a head-up display display device, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The purpose of a vehicle head-up display (HUD) is to project important driving-related information onto the windshield, reducing distraction and improving safety. Because ambient light levels vary significantly during vehicle operation, HUDs need to adjust their brightness according to the ambient light to achieve the best visual effect. Currently, common HUD ambient light application module circuits emit significant interference, easily interfering with nearby wireless devices and potentially exceeding EMC limits. For example, Chinese patent CN107560728A – an ambient light detection circuit for HUDs – uses a phototransistor to collect ambient light, enabling automatic backlight adjustment for the HUD. However, its potential source of electromagnetic interference is the emission of external interference. Furthermore, to achieve a large dynamic range of ambient light detection, this patent uses a single sensor to collect two signals. These signals may cross-interact due to capacitive coupling or ground loop interference. The amplified signal path is susceptible to external electromagnetic interference, leading to abnormal values ​​collected by the MCU. Therefore, the circuit stability of this patent is also relatively poor. Furthermore, the response time of a phototransistor is slower than that of a photodiode, which may cause a delay in detection when there are rapid changes in light intensity (such as when entering or exiting a tunnel), resulting in a lag in HUD brightness adjustment.
