6.2 Combiner and Diffuser Specification

Refer to Figure 10 for assumptions.

The values are chosen to design a compact size AM-HUD and typical use case.

Table 3. Combiner and Diffuser Specification

Description Variable Values
Distance from projection unit to diffuser screen PD To be calculated(1)
Distance between diffuser screen and fold mirror DM 5 cm
Distance between fold mirror and combiner MC 15 cm
Combiner to eyebox distance CE 75 cm
Virtual image distance VID 2,000 cm
(1) Will match the throw ratio of the projector.
