## Abstract

A vehicular head-up display disposed in a vehicle includes an image forming unit, a reflection mirror, and a holographic mirror. The image forming unit disposed on a roof of the vehicle employs light sources. The reflection mirror disposed below a windshield in the front of the vehicle has a first reflection surface facing forward and upward. The holographic mirror disposed between the reflection mirror and the windshield has a second reflection surface facing backward. The holographic mirror reflects light rays of a specific wavelength band and allows light rays of not the specific wavelength band to pass through. Light rays emitted by the image forming unit are reflected by the first and second reflection surfaces, and then the light rays of the specific wavelength band reflected from the second reflection surface are projected onto the windshield to form a virtual image in front of the windshield.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A vehicular head-up display using a holographic element, disposed in a vehicle, comprising:
an image forming unit disposed on a roof of the vehicle, the image forming unit employing a plurality of light sources;
a reflection mirror disposed below a windshield in the front of the vehicle, the reflection mirror having a first reflection surface facing forward and upward with respect to the vehicle; and
a holographic mirror disposed between the reflection mirror and the windshield, the holographic mirror having a second reflection surface facing backward with respect to the vehicle, the holographic mirror reflecting light rays of a specific wavelength band and allowing light rays of not the specific wavelength band to pass through;
wherein light rays emitted by the image forming unit are projected onto the first reflection surface of the reflection mirror; light rays reflected from the first reflection surface of the reflection mirror are projected onto the second reflection surface of the holographic mirror; and the light rays of the specific wavelength band reflected from the second reflection surface of the holographic mirror are projected onto the windshield to form a virtual image in front of the windshield.
