  • Patent number: 10031341
    Abstract: A head-up display device includes: a cover having a light-transmissive light exit part; a first case mating with the cover and having a light entry part for entry of display light and a housing part housing a reflecting member; a light source unit outside the housing part; and a second case covering the light source unit and fastened to the first case. The device has a heat radiator of higher rigidity than the second case, having a wall part that externally projects from the housing part through the intervening light entry part, the light source unit affixed to the wall part to diffuse the heat from the light source unit; and includes a mating part in which the second case and the wall part mate together, the second case fastened to the heat radiator at locations to either side of the mating part.

  • Patent number: 9513477
    Abstract: Provided is a vehicular heads-up display device with which it is possible to avoid burn-in of an internal component upon a reflecting member by exterior light, improving display quality. A vehicular heads-up display device, comprising a case body (50) whereon an aperture part (51c) is disposed and a light-emitting body (30) that is housed within the case body (50) reflects emitted light L that is emitted by the light-emitting body (30) externally to the case body (50) via the aperture part (51c) and reflects said emitted light L from the windshield (13), causing the driver (14) to have sight of the virtual image V that is obtained by said reflection. The vehicular heads-up display device further comprises a semi-transmissible cover (55) installed in the aperture part (51c), and a dispersal means (58) is disposed between the light emitting body (30) and the cover (55), for dispersing exterior light that enters the case body (50) via the cover (55).
