Solution Overview

Problem

Current head-up display systems in transportation suffer from regional chromaticity differences in displayed images, leading to reduced driving experience and increased distraction risks due to misjudgment of colors.

Innovation Solution

The head-up display system adjusts the configuration of light-emitting units on the substrate to minimize chromaticity differences between different regions of the projected image, using techniques such as varying the size, shape, and reflectivity of retaining walls and reflective units to compensate for color shifts caused by varying reflection angles.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a head-up display system is implemented, then driving safety and convenience are improved, but regional chromaticity differences occur in the displayed image

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriving safetyVSAvoidchromaticity consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by configuring different light-emitting units with different peak wavelengths according to their specific positions in the display panel. Light-emitting units in different regions (first, second, third, and fourth regions) are assigned different peak wavelengths to compensate for the varying reflection angles and path lengths that occur at different positions on the windshield. This localized adjustment ensures that each region emits light with the appropriate chromaticity characteristics, thereby reducing overall chromaticity differences across the displayed image while maintaining driving safety.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Ease of operation

If light is projected onto the windshield, then a virtual image is formed for the driver, but chromaticity shifts occur due to varying reflection angles

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriver visibilityVSAvoidcolor accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements parameter changes by varying the peak wavelengths of different light-emitting units based on their positional parameters. Instead of using a uniform wavelength for all light-emitting units, the system adjusts the peak wavelength parameter according to the specific position of each unit on the substrate. This parameter adjustment compensates for the physical changes in light reflection angle and path length that occur when light projects onto different regions of the windshield, thereby maintaining color accuracy while enabling broad driver visibility.

AI summary

A head-up display and a head-up display system for a transportation. The head-up display is configured to display a first image. The first image is projected to form a second image. The head-up display includes a substrate and multiple light-emitting units disposed on the substrate. A first light-emitting unit and a second light-emitting unit of the light-emitting units respectively correspond to a first region and a second region of the first image. A third region and a fourth region of the second image respectively correspond to the first region and the second region of the first image. A configuration of the first light-emitting unit is different from a configuration of the second light-emitting unit, such that a chromaticity difference between the third region and the fourth region of the second image is less than a chromaticity difference between the first region and the second region of the first image.
