Patent number: 9442289Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2014Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: JVC KENWOOD CorporationInventors: Ryo Nishima, Isao Kaneno, Yuji Tanaka, Tatsuya Sato, Motoshi Tohda, Tatsuya Mukouyama, Kouichi Kawamura, Kazutaka Aboshi, Manabu Kobayashi

Patent number: 9028076Abstract: In a projector, a projection unit includes a projection mechanism that projects an image and an air hole that takes in or exhausts air used to dissipate heat generated from a light source included in the projection mechanism. A housing covers the air hole when the projection unit is in a storage position in which the projection unit does not project an image and uncovers the air hole when the projection unit is in a projection position in which the projection unit projects an image. The drive mechanism moves the projection unit or a cover member. An electronic control unit controls the drive mechanism to move the projection unit to the projection position in which an image is projected when receiving a predetermined projection preparation request and move the projection unit to the storage position in which no image is projected when receiving a predetermined storage request.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2012Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: JVC Kenwood CorporationInventors: Ryo Nishima, Norihisa Yamamoto, Kouichi Kawamura
