ABSTRACT:
A waveguide holographic telltale display for displaying images to a vehicle driver via the vehicle windshield. A light source injects light into the base of a clear inner windshield singlet. A mirror hologram between the inner and outer singlets confines a majority of the injected light to the inner singlet. An image hologram between the windshield singlets diffracts light out to the vehicle driver. A halfwave plate between the image hologram and the inner singlet reduces ghosting and allows the driver to view the images even through polarized sunglasses. IR light is blocked by a tinted outer singlet or a holographic solar coating. The display does not suffer from ambient turn from the sun, and the light source is hidden away from the vehicle dash.
