First Claim
Patent Images
1. A display system, comprising:
- at least one fluorescent material having an absorption band; and
a projection assembly having an electromagnetic radiation source, the projection assembly configured to direct radiation of one or more selected wavelengths within the absorption band of the fluorescent material toward the fluorescent material to cause at least a portion of the fluorescent material to fluoresce.

Abstract
A display system useful as a head-up display for vehicles, such as aircraft, automobiles, trucks, etc., includes a fluorescent material that can be carried on a support. The head-up display system further includes a projection assembly having an electromagnetic radiation source. The projection assembly is configured to direct electromagnetic radiation of one or more selected wavelengths toward the support to cause the fluorescent material to fluoresce and form an image.
