HEAD'S UP DISPLAY AMBIGUITY ELIMINATOR
First Claim
1. A display device, comprising:
- a head'"'"'s up display (HUD), the HUD providing direction indicators or exit route indicators to a user'"'"'s peripheral line of vision in the form of a plurality of light sources along a scan line of the HUD; and
a processor coupled to the indicators, wherein the processor is programmed to;
activate a first light source among the plurality of light sources along the scan line within an ambiguous zone; and
activate a second light source a predetermined distance away from the first light source within the ambiguous zone as the first light source and second light source scan through the ambiguous zone.

Abstract
A display device and method (300) includes a processor (718) and a head'"'"'s up display (HUD) (112) that provides direction or exit route indicators to a user'"'"'s peripheral line of vision in the form of a plurality of light sources (41 or 722) such as LEDs along a scan line of the HUD. The processor can activate (304) a first light source along the scan line within an ambiguous zone (40) and activate (306) a second light source a predetermined distance away from the first light source as the first and second light sources scan through the ambiguous zone. Note, a point between the first and second light source indicates a desired direction or exit route. A location of the second light source can be activated based on one or more of a scan rate, a distance the HUD is away from a user'"'"'s eyes, a user'"'"'s eye spacing, or the ambiguous zone.
