Head-up display and method with light intensity output monitoring
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of limiting a light intensity output of a head-up display for a vehicle comprising:
- configuring a sensor to monitor an intensity output of a light source of the head-up display and provide a measured actual light intensity value to a controller;
configuring the controller to store a target light source intensity value in a computer-readable memory;
configuring the controller to compare the measured actual light intensity value to the target light intensity value; and
configuring the controller to reduce the light intensity output provided at a vehicle operator viewable display surface in a situation where the measured actual light intensity value exceeds the target light intensity value.

Abstract
A sensor is configured to monitor an intensity output of a light source of the head-up display and provide a measured actual light intensity value to a controller. The controller is configured to store a target light source intensity value in a computer-readable memory. The controller is configured to compare the measured actual light intensity value to the target light intensity value. The controller is configured to reduce the light intensity output provided at a vehicle operator viewable display surface in a situation where the measured actual light intensity value exceeds the target light intensity value.

11. A head-up display for a vehicle comprising:
-
a controller; a sensor coupled to the controller and configured to monitor an intensity output of a light source of the head-up display and to provide a measured actual light intensity value to a controller; the controller being configured to store a target light source intensity value in a computer-readable memory; the controller being configured to compare the target light intensity value to the measured actual light intensity value; and the controller being configured to reduce the light intensity output provided at a vehicle operator viewable display surface in a situation where the measured actual light intensity value exceeds the target light intensity value. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
