## Abstract

Disclosed is a head-up display device which includes a projection module and an image light transmission module. The projection module includes an image light source and a projection lens. The image light source is disposed to provide an image beam. The projection lens has a lateral chromatic aberration of a projection lens. The image light transmission module includes an optical waveguide element and an optical lens and has a lateral chromatic aberration of an image light transmission. The optical waveguide element is disposed on a transmission path of the image beam from the projection lens and guides the image beam to form a display beam. The lateral chromatic aberration of the projection lens is a reverse chromatic aberration. The lateral chromatic aberration of the image light transmission module is a positive chromatic aberration. The head-up display device disclosed makes the display image have good optical quality.
