System and Method for Adjusting a Projected Image
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a projection system;
an image generator disposed in the projection system, the image generator operable to generate a plurality of rays;
an objective lens disposed in the projection system, the objective lens operable to refract the plurality of rays;
a component operable to reflect the refracted rays onto a target in order to form an image; and
wherein the image is operable to be moved in relation to the target, the movement of the image being independent of any displacement of the projection system in relation to the target.

Abstract
In accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure, a system comprises a projection system. The system further includes an image generator disposed in the projection system. The image generator is operable to generate a plurality of rays. The system further includes an objective lens disposed in the projection system. The objective lens is operable to refract the plurality of rays. The system further includes a component operable to reflect the refracted rays onto a target in order to form an image. The image is operable to be moved in relation to the target. The movement of the image is independent of any displacement of the projection system in relation to the target.

15. A method comprising:
-
generating, by an image generator disposed in a projection system, a plurality of rays; refracting, by an objective lens disposed in the projection system, the plurality of rays; reflecting, by a component, the refracted rays onto a target in order to form an image; and moving the image in relation to the target, wherein the moving the image is independent of any displacement of the projection system in relation to the target. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A system, comprising:
-
a projection system; an image generator disposed in the projection system, the image generator operable to generate a plurality of rays; an objective lens disposed in the projection system, the objective lens operable to refract the plurality of rays; a component operable to reflect the refracted rays onto a target in order to form an image, wherein the component is further operable to transmit illumination from outer scenery to the target so as to form an overlapping image that includes the image and the outer scenery, wherein both the image and the outer scenery comprise wavelengths anywhere within a visible spectrum, wherein the wavelengths of the image are complementary to the wavelengths of the outer scenery, wherein the image is operable to be moved in relation to the target, the movement of the image being independent of any displacement of the projection system in relation to the target, wherein the movement of the image comprises a rotation of the image. a rotating prism disposed in the projection system, the rotating prism operable to rotate inside of the projection system, and, as the rotating prism rotates, the rotating prism is further operable to rotate the image by rotating the refracted rays, wherein the rotating prism is selected from one of; a Pechan prism; a dove prism; an Abbe prism; an Abbe-Koenig prism; a Schmidt prism; a delta prism; a right-angle prism; a penta prism; and a Porro prism; wherein the movement of the image further comprises a vertical displacement of the image, wherein the system further comprises a steering mirror disposed in the projection system, the steering mirror operable to vertically displace the image by vertically displacing the refracted rays; wherein the movement of the image further comprises a horizontal displacement of the image, wherein the steering mirror is further operable to horizontally displace the image by horizontally displacing the refracted rays; wherein the objective lens comprises a plurality of lenses, wherein at least one of the lenses is operable to translatably move in relation to at least a second of the lenses, and wherein the movement of the at least one of the lenses is operable to focus the image; and wherein the projection system comprises a Head-Up Display (HUD) projection system and the target comprises an eye of a user.
