Abstract

A fiber bundle head up display includes a bundle of optical fibers. An image source projects a display image onto the fiber bundle. The fiber bundle transfers the display image from its input surface to its output surface and projects the display image onto a combiner, which superimposes the display image in the visual field of a viewer. The fiber bundle transforms the display image while performing three-dimensional relocation of picture elements of the display image to reduce aberration and distortion of the display image. The fiber bundle may be utilized for pre-transforming the display image to reduce or eliminate a variety of image aberration types.
