Projection of virtual image in front of the vehicle

The head-up display projects a virtual image, i.e. an image that appears to hang in mid-air without a fixed image carrier (e.g. projection screen or similar).

The image is generated on a projection display in the head-up display and deflected by the windscreen in such a way that driver seemingly sees the image floating above the bonnet. (The effect of the virtual image is the same as when looking in a mirror: the observer looks not at the mirror but behind the mirror.)

The size of the virtual image is approx. 20 x 10 cm (width x height). The virtual image can only be seen from a defined area from the driver's side.
