Abstract

A head up display includes a simplified holographic combiner which has a low surface spatial frequency for avoiding flare. Symbology generated by a cathode-ray-tube is focused by relay optics and then reflected by a holographic optical element toward the holographic combiner. The last mentioned holographic optical element is provided with optical power in part compensating for distortions attributable to the large off-axis angle at which the holographic combiner is operated.
