Segmented monochrome Head Up Displays (HUDs) have been used in automobiles since 1988. This paper describes how HUDs can be upgraded with more complex image sources to display information from several systems. Some examples of systems where data could be displayed in a HUD are cellular telephones, navigation systems, vehicle-to-roadside communications, etc. The information conveyed to the driver obviously goes well beyond the content of current production HUDs. Improvements in flat panel display technologies are enabling the presentation of larger, more reconfigurable, and more daylight-viewable HUD images. A few of the relevant advances are cited. The above developments suggest increased future opportunities for HUDs to present useful information in an as-needed, eyes-on-the-road manner.
