A windshield for a head-up display system has a pair of opposing major surfaces that are nonparallel to one another either throughout its extent or in selected areas. Light rays directed toward the nonparallel area of the windshield are reflected from the outer and inner major surfaces of the windshield and directed toward the eye of the observer as parallel or superimposed light rays to eliminate ghost images when viewing images projected by the head-up display system through the windshield.

Why it's free to use
- Filed August 19, 1992 and granted July 13, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended August 19, 2012.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 19, 2014.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
