Estimating the term…
A multi-eyebox head-up display device and a multilayer combiner are disclosed. The device comprises a projector generates a projected image to a reflector. The reflector generates a reflected image to a multilayer combiner. The multilayer combiner includes at least two superimposed imaging plates, and the semi-reflective surfaces of the superimposed imaging plates are tilted to each other. While the reflected image is projected to the semi-reflective surface of the topmost superimposed imaging plate, the semi-reflective surface of the topmost superimposed imaging plate generates a virtual image. Simultaneously, the reflected image penetrates through the topmost superimposed imaging plate and reaches the lower superimposed imaging plate, and the semi-reflective surface of the lower superimposed imaging plate reflects the light to generate another virtual image. The present invention enables the driver to view the vehicular information at different viewing angles.

(canceled)
A multilayer combiner for a multi-eyebox head-up display device, wherein said multilayer combiner receives a reflected image and reflects said reflected image to generate at least two virtual images in different eyeboxes, and wherein said multilayer combiner comprises at least two superimposed imaging plates seamlessly stacked together, and wherein a semi-reflective surface of one said superimposed imaging plate is tilted with respect to a semi-reflective surface of one adjacent said superimposed imaging surface, and wherein said reflected image is projected to said semi-reflective surface of a topmost one of said superimposed imaging plates and reflected to generate a virtual image, and wherein said reflected image penetrates through said topmost one of said superimposed imaging plates to reach a lower one of said superimposed imaging plates, and wherein said reflected image further penetrates through said lower one of said superimposed imaging plates, and wherein said reflected image is reflected by said semi-reflective surface of said lower one of said superimposed imaging plates to generate another virtual image, whereby at least two offset virtual images are presented in different eyeboxes, and said semi-reflective surface of one said superimposed imaging plate is tilted with respect to said semi-reflective surface of one adjacent said superimposed imaging surface by an angle of 0.5-10 degrees.
