  • Patent number: 10095097
    Abstract: A projection-type optical module is provided. More particularly, the projection-type optical module is configured to have a plurality of reflective mirrors and disposed inside a vehicle or a pillar of the vehicle so as to display an image projected from an image module on a wide screen. The projection-type optical module can be disposed in a confined space of the interior of the vehicle, so that the interior space of the vehicle can be efficiently used. Furthermore, the projection-type optical module is configured such that an image refracted in a confined space is prevented from blurring, thus making it possible to display a clear projection image on the screen module.
