Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A display device can have at least one imaging unit and at least one combiner. The location of the imaging unit and/or of the combiner can be provided to be locationally variable. The display device can be used such that information can be represented on a plurality of planes.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A display apparatus comprising: at least two imaging units including a first imaging unit and a second imaging unit; and at least two combiners, wherein each of the at least two imaging units is assigned a dedicated combiner; wherein the at least two combiners differ and are arranged at a distance from one another; wherein the location of at least one of the imaging units relative to at least one of the combiners is translationally variable and/or rotatably variable; and wherein each of the combiners is translationally variable and/or rotatably variable in terms of the locations of the combiners with respect to one another and/or with respect to at least one imaging unit. 2. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the location of the first and of the second imaging unit relative to one another is variable. 3. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least two combiners have different shapes. 4. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least two combiners have different light-transmittance and/or light reflectance. 5. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display apparatus is a head-up display or a head-down display. 6. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display apparatus is an instrument display. 7. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 5 , having an additional image plane.
