Micromirror-based real image laser automotive head-up display

This paper reports a micromirror-based real image laser automotive head-up display (HUD), which overcomes the limitations of the previous designs by: (1) implementing an advanced display approach which is able to display sharp corners while the previous designs can only display curved lines such as to improve the display fidelity and (2) Optimizing the optical configuration to significantly reduce the HUD module size. The optical design in the HUD is simulated to choose the off-the-shelf concave lens. The vibration test is conducted to verify that the micromirror can survive 5?g. The prototype of the HUD system is fabricated and tested.
