Abstract
A display system useful as a head-up display for vehicles, such as aircraft, automobiles, trucks, etc., includes a fluorescent material that can be carried on a support. The head-up display system further includes a projection assembly having an electromagnetic radiation source. The projection assembly is configured to direct electromagnetic radiation of one or more selected wavelengths toward the support to cause the fluorescent material to fluoresce and form an image.
Claims36
A display system, comprising:
- at least one fluorescent material having an absorption band;
- and
- a projection assembly having an electromagnetic radiation source, the projection assembly configured to direct radiation of one or more selected wavelengths within the absorption band of the fluorescent material toward the fluorescent material to cause at least a portion of the fluorescent material to fluoresce.
A vehicle head-up display, comprising:
- at least one fluorescent material having an absorption band;
- and
- a projection assembly configured to direct radiation of one or more selected wavelengths within the absorption band of the at least one fluorescent material toward the fluorescent material to cause at least a portion of the fluorescent material to fluoresce.
A vehicle head-up display, comprising:
- a windshield having a first ply and a second ply;
- at least one fluorescent material having an adsorption band and located between the first and second ply;
- and
- a projection assembly having an electromagnetic radiation source and configured to direct radiation of one or more selected wavelengths within the absorption band toward the fluorescent material to cause at least a portion of the fluorescent material to fluoresce to form an image.
A method of displaying images, comprising the steps of:
- selectively directing electromagnetic radiation from a radiation source toward a support having at least one fluorescent material;
- and
- controlling the radiation source to cause the fluorescent material to fluoresce to form an image.
A display system, comprising:
- at least one light emitting material having an absorption band;
- and
- a projection assembly having an electromagnetic radiation source, the projection assembly configured to direct radiation of one or more selected wavelengths within the absorption band of the light emitting material toward the light emitting material to cause at least a portion of the light emitting material to emit light.
A method of displaying images, comprising the steps of:
- selectively directing electromagnetic radiation from a radiation source toward a support having one or more light emitting materials;
- and
- controlling the radiation source to cause the light emitting material to emit light to form an image.
