  • Patent number: 9442289
    Abstract: An display apparatus, for a vehicle, according to one embodiment includes a substrate housing portion, an optical unit, a turning member, and a plate-like attachment plate. The substrate housing portion contains a circuit substrate for outputting an image signal of an image to be displaced. The optical unit generates an image based on the image signal outputted from the circuit substrate and projects the generated image. The combiner is provided at one end of the optical unit, and the image is projected onto the combiner. The turning member connects the optical unit to the substrate housing portion in a freely rotatable manner. The plate-like attachment plate is used to mount the substrate housing portion to a rear-view mirror such that the optical unit is freely rotatable without coming into contact with the rear-view mirror inside a vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9258515
    Abstract: An image display device includes: an image generation unit that generates image display light based on an image signal; a projection unit that projects the image display light generated by the image generation unit; a combiner that presents the image display light projected by the projection unit as a virtual image; and a rotating unit that rotationally moves the combiner along at least one rotation surface, wherein the projection unit changes a direction in which the image display light is projected based on the rotational movement of the combiner.

  • Publication number: 20140368922
    Abstract: A display device for a vehicle includes: a substrate housing portion that stores a circuit substrate that outputs an image signal of an image to be displayed; an optical unit that generates and projects an image based on the image signal; and a combiner on which the image is projected, wherein the optical unit has: an optical unit main body that includes a light source and an image display element; and a projection unit that determines a projection direction, wherein the optical unit main body has a first main body surface and a second main body surface, and wherein the projection unit has two arrangement states: a first state where a projection port of the projection unit is on the side of the first main body surface; and a second state where the projection port is on the side of the second main body surface.
