Abstract

A head-up display includes a first display device, and a second display device which is provided at a position which is different from a position of the first display device. An optical axis identifying device outputs light beams, which are respectively input from the first display device and second display device, in the identical direction. An enlarged-image forming device enlarges respective images which are formed by the light beams which are output from the first display device and the second display device, based on the light beams which are input from the optical axis identifying device, and forms an image by overlapping the images which are enlarged. A moving device moves at least one of the first display device and the second display device along respective optical axis directions thereof.

Claims (9)

1. A head-up display comprising:

a first display device configured to emit a first light beam along a first optical axis;

a second display device, provided at a position which is different from a position of the first display device, the second display device configured to emit a second light beam along a second optical axis that is non-parallel to the first optical axis;

an optical axis identifying device configured to receive the first light beam and the second light beam, and configured to identify the first optical axis of the first light beam input from the first display device and the second optical axis of the second light beam input from the second display device, and configured to output the first and second light beams in the identical direction; and

an enlarged-image forming device that enlarges respective images which are formed by the first and second light beams which are output from the first display device and the second display device, based on the light beams which are input from the optical axis identifying device, and configured to form an image by overlapping the images which are enlarged.

2. The head-up display as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising:

a moving device that moves at least one of the first display device and the second display device along respective optical axis directions thereof.

3. The head-up display as set forth in claim 2 ,

wherein the moving device includes first moving device that moves the first display device along the optical axis direction thereof, and second moving device that moves the second display device along the optical axis direction thereof.
