Abstract
A holographic head-up display having first and second superimposed reflection holograms supported by a vehicle windshield, and first and second playback sources respectively associated with the first and second reflection holograms and positioned such that reflection by the windshield of playback illumination from one playback source is toward the other playback source. In particular, the first and second playback sources are configured such that the centerlines of the playback beams provided by the first and second playback sources are coplanar in a common plane that is substantially normal to the holograms, with the centerlines intersecting generally in the hologram layers and having substantially the same angle of incidence on the hologram layers as measured relative to normal in the common plane.
