Abstract
A vehicle equipped with a head-up display system is provided. The head-up display system includes an image source, a mechanically adjustable optic element, at least one reflector, and a control unit. The reflector is configured to reflect an image beam emitted from the image source to a transparent screen of the vehicle, wherein a user may perceive a virtual image through the transparent screen. The mechanically adjustable optic element is disposed in a propagation path of the image for adjusting an imaging distance of the virtual image. The control unit is used for controlling image parameters of the virtual image and is capable of adjusting the imaging distance of the virtual image but keeping at least one of the image parameters remaining the same before and after the change of the imaging distance.
