1. A head-up display (HUD) apparatus, the HUD apparatus comprising:
- a first optical module configured to display a two dimensional (2D) image;
a second optical module configured to display a three dimensional (3D) image and arranged at a predetermined angle relative to the first optical module;
a separation module arranged on an optical path of the first and second optical modules to reflect a light of the first optical module and to project a light from the second optical module; and
an optical system configured to output the light having passed the separation module,wherein the first optical module includes a 2D display panel and a first backlight unit configured to provide a first information as the two dimensional image, and the second optical module includes a 3D display panel and a second backlight unit configured to provide a second information as the three dimensional image,wherein the second backlight unit uses one of a lenticular method and a parallax barrier method to provide the three dimensional image,wherein the first information includes text and figurative information, and the second information includes three dimensional figure information,wherein the second optical module is configured to output augmented reality to provide information of surrounding environments in a driver'"'"'s view,wherein an amount of information outputted on the augmented reality is decreased along with an increase of vehicle speed,wherein a position of a virtual screen formed by the HUD is changed to correspond with a focused position of gaze,wherein a depth of a 3D screen on the virtual screen formed by the HUD is changed based on travel speed or road type so that a depth of the 3D screen during highway travel is deeper than a depth of the 3D screen during in-city travel, andwherein the augmented reality formed by the second optical module is formed as the 3D screen so that a depth of the augmented reality is changed.

13. A method of using a head-up display (HUD) apparatus, the method comprising:
-
displaying a two dimensional (2D) image using a first optical module of the HUD; displaying a three dimensional (3D) image using a second optical module of the HUD, wherein the second optical module is arranged at a predetermined angle relative to the first optical module; reflecting a light of the first optical module to a polarization direction by forming the polarization direction of the light of the first optical module at a predetermined level; and vertically forming the polarization direction of the first and second optical modules by forming the polarization direction of light of the second optical module, wherein the first optical module includes a 2D display panel and a first backlight unit configured to provide a first information as the two dimensional image, and the second optical module includes a 3D display panel and a second backlight unit configured to provide a second information as the three dimensional image, wherein the second backlight unit uses one of a lenticular method and a parallax barrier method to provide the three dimensional image, wherein the first information includes text and figurative information, and the second information includes three dimensional figure information, wherein the second optical module is configured to output augmented reality to provide information of surrounding environments in a driver'"'"'s view, wherein an amount of information outputted on the augmented reality is decreased along with an increase of vehicle speed, wherein a position of a virtual screen formed by the HUD is changed to correspond with a focused position of gaze, wherein a depth of a 3D screen on the virtual screen formed by the HUD is changed based on travel speed or road type so that a depth of the 3D screen during highway travel is deeper than a depth of the 3D screen during in-city travel, and wherein the augmented reality formed by the second optical module is formed as the 3D screen so that a depth of the augmented reality is changed. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
