Abstract

A navigation display system includes a navigation device, a projection module and a remote-controlled module. The navigation device has a screen. The projection module is pivotally connected with and rotatable relative to the navigation device to project an image displayed on the screen onto a projection screen. The remote-controlled module is disposed on a direction steering unit of a vehicle to control the navigation device.

Claims

1. A navigation display system suitable for a vehicle, the navigation display system comprising:

a navigation device having a screen;

a projection module being pivotally connected with and rotatable relative to the navigation device to project a image displayed on the screen onto a projection screen; and

a remote-controlled module disposed on a direction steering unit of the vehicle to control the navigation device.

2. The navigation display system of claim 1, wherein the projection screen is a windshield of the vehicle.

3. The navigation display system of claim 2, wherein the navigation device is disposed within an area between the direction steering unit and the windshield of the vehicle.

4. The navigation display system of claim 1, wherein the projection screen is larger than the screen in size.

5. The navigation display system of claim 1, wherein the remote-controlled module comprises a wireless module to transmit a control signal to the navigation device.

6. The navigation display system of claim 5, wherein the wireless module is a blue tooth wireless module or an infrared wireless module.

7. The navigation display system of claim 1, wherein the remote-controlled module is adapted to control the projection module.

8. The navigation display system of claim 1, wherein the projection module is a liquid-crystal-on-silicon (LCOS) projection device.

9. The navigation display system of claim 1, wherein the screen is a touch-control screen.
