  • Patent number: 11885963
    Abstract: A head-up display device includes an image display device that outputs display light of an image; a mirror having a reflecting surface that reflects the display light toward a reflecting portion, and an input shaft; a motor that has an output shaft located on an extended line of the input shaft, and rotates the output shaft; a transmission member that has a cylindrical fitting portion to which the input shaft is press-fitted and a coupling portion coupled with the output shaft and transmitting output torque of the motor from the output shaft to the input shaft; a holding member that holds the motor; and a first spring that is interposed between the holding member and the transmission member, and imparts, to the transmission member, a biasing force oriented to bring the mirror close to the output shaft.

  • Patent number: 11619868
    Abstract: A projection device includes a housing including a wall part including an opening, and a cover with a plate shape having a light-transmitting property and closing the opening. The wall part includes a pair of edge parts facing each other with the opening therebetween and extending along a first direction, and a plurality of claw parts disposed at each of the pair of edge parts. The pair of edge parts is curved to the inside of the housing. The cover includes through holes disposed correspondingly to the claw parts. The claw part includes a base part protruding from the corresponding edge part and a holding part protruding from the base part along the first direction. The housing sandwiches and holds the cover between an edge part and the holding parts inserted into the through holes in a state where the cover is curved.

  • Publication number: 20220326515
    Abstract: In a vehicle display device, a locking mechanism has a first support part that supports a first end of a display panel and a second support part located at a position relatively different from the first support part. The second support part has a pair of urging portions that urge the display panel in a support state, and a first receiving portion that receives a lower surface of a second end of the display panel. Each of the urging portions is formed curving in an S shape when viewed from the optical axis direction, and a distal end portion formed at an end opposite to the fixed end portion has a second receiving portion that protrudes from an abutting surface toward the display panel and interposes the second end of the display panel between the second receiving portion and the first receiving portion, in the support state.
