Low-cost replicable plastic HUD combiner element
2009
We present a novel technique to fabricate low cost mass replicable plastic HUDs for the
transportation industry. HUD are implemented in numerous sectors today (in avionics,
automobile, military, machinery,...). Typical implementations include an optical combiner which
produces the desired virtual image while leaving the field mostly unaffected by the optics. Such
combiners optics are usually implemented as cumbersome catadioptric devices in automobile,
dichroic coated curved plates, or expensive volume holograms in commercial and military
aviation.
We propose a novel way to design, model and fabricate combiner masters which can be
replicated in mass by UV casting in plastic. We review the various design techniques required for
such elements and the novel mastering technology.
