  • Patent number: 11520143
    Abstract: A display device for a vehicle includes: a first display device including a reflection type hologram that is disposed on a windshield of a vehicle, and a first projection part that projects first display light toward the hologram, and displaying a first display image by diffraction light diffracted by the hologram; and a second display device including a second projection part that projects second display light toward the windshield, and displaying a second display image by reflection light reflected by the windshield. In the windshield, a first region where the first display light is incident and a second region where the second display light is incident overlap with each other, the second projection part includes a filter part that cuts light in a predetermined wavelength region from the second display light, and the predetermined wavelength region is a wavelength region of the light diffracted by the hologram.

  • Patent number: 11467402
    Abstract: A vehicular display device includes a reflection-type hologram disposed inside a windshield of a vehicle and a projection device that projects display light toward the hologram. The hologram outputs the display light from the projection device as diffracted light that travels toward the eye range of the vehicle. The projection device is arranged such that display light reflected off the windshield travels in a direction different, from the direction toward the eye range in a vehicle width direction.

  • Publication number: 20210072537
    Abstract: A vehicular display device includes: a reflection-type hologram disposed inside a windshield of a vehicle and including a first surface facing a side of an eye range of the vehicle; and a projection device that projects display light of a P wave toward the first surface. The hologram outputs the display light, which is incident on the first surface from the projection device, as diffracted light directed to the eye range, and has diffraction characteristics of condensing the diffracted light in the eye range. The projection device is disposed such that a part of the display light is reflected toward the eye range when an incident angle of the display light on the windshield is within a predetermined angle range.

  • Patent number: 10802272
    Abstract: A vehicular display apparatus includes a display device, a magnifying mirror, and a turning back mirror. The display device emits display light corresponding to a display image to be visually recognized by a driver on a vehicle. The magnifying mirror reflects the display light to project the display image on a windshield of the vehicle. The turning back mirror is disposed on an optical path between the display device and the magnifying mirror and has a concave reflecting surface that reflects the display light. The magnifying mirror has the magnifying power that is set higher than that of the turning back mirror.

  • Publication number: 20200225472
    Abstract: A vehicle display device includes: an emitting part that is mounted in a vehicle and emits a display light; a housing that accommodates the emitting part in an inner accommodation space; and a last mirror that reflects the display light emitted from the emitting part toward a windshield provided in a front of the vehicle in a vehicle front-back direction and causes the windshield to reflect the display light toward a presumed eye point. The windshield has a rising angle on a side of the eye point relative to a horizontal direction of equal to or greater than 60° and equal to or less than 90°. The last mirror is provided outside the accommodation space as a whole, and is located between the windshield and the eye point EP in the vehicle front-back direction and opposed to the windshield.

  • Publication number: 20200218071
    Abstract: A vehicle display device includes: an emitting unit installed on a vehicle and that emits display light; and a final mirror that reflects the display light emitted from the emitting unit toward a windshield provided in a front part of the vehicle in a vehicle longitudinal direction, and that reflects by the windshield the display light toward an eye point side assumed in advance. A rise angle of the windshield at the eye point side with respect to a horizontal direction is 60 degrees or more and 90 degrees or less. The final mirror is placed between the windshield and the eye point with respect to the vehicle longitudinal direction, faces the windshield, and reflects the display light emitted from the emitting unit forward in the vehicle longitudinal direction.

  • Patent number: 10613324
    Abstract: A vehicle display device includes: a projector that emits display light corresponding to a display image to be visually recognized by a driver of a vehicle; a screen on which the display image corresponding to the display light emitted from the projector is projected and that reflects the display light; and an aspheric mirror reflecting reflection light of the display light reflected by the screen toward a windshield of the vehicle. The aspheric mirror has a non-reflection area on a part of a reflection surface reflecting the reflection light toward the windshield. The projector is arranged at a position facing the screen with the aspheric mirror interposed therebetween such that the display light passes through the non-reflection area and is directed to the screen.

  • Patent number: 10017110
    Abstract: A vehicle-mounted display device is provided with a first attention calling indicator, and a second attention calling indicator. The first attention calling indicator includes first light emitting units which emit light, and is located in one of front left and right sides of a driver's seat, and guides light from the first light emitting units toward a direction of the driver's seat using a reflection from a windshield. The second attention calling indicator includes second light emitting units which emit light, and is located in the other of the front left and right sides of the driver's seat, and guides the light from the second light emitting units toward the direction of the driver's seat using the reflection from the windshield or a reflection from a door window so as to perform display symmetrically along with the first attention calling indicator.
