  • Publication number: 20230168504
    Abstract: A rotary structure module applied to a head-up display device includes a curved mirror assembly, at least one bracket and a driving element. The curved mirror assembly has a rotation axis, and includes a curved mirror, a fixing frame, a rotating shaft and a counterweight. The rotation axis corresponds to the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is passed through the fixing frame. The curved mirror and the counterweight are respectively fixed on two opposite sides of the fixing frame and located on two sides of the rotating shaft, so that the center of gravity of the curved mirror assembly is overlapped with the rotating axis. The bracket is sleeved on the rotating shaft, and the driving element drives the curved mirror assembly, so that the curved mirror rotates around the rotating shaft as the rotation axis.
