  • Patent number: 11538334
    Abstract: The present invention enables recognition of traffic light lamp color in place of or in addition to simply displaying the traffic light lamp color in a color image. A projection unit projects, towards a part subject to projection, display light L that can display an image at a variable display distance. A lamp color information acquisition unit acquires a lamp color of a traffic light which a vehicle will be driving through. A display distance adjustment unit changes the display distance of the image based on the lamp color acquired by an information acquisition unit.

  • Publication number: 20190146218
    Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a head-up display device having a structure such that the procurement cost of a bezel can be suppressed. A bezel part is integrally formed on a curved wall portion of an upper cover. Since the upper cover is a die-cast product, the curved wall part can be manufactured by one-time casting (die-casting) with a through-hole and the bezel part. Since the bezel part is integral with the upper cover, it is possible to reduce the procurement cost of the bezel part compared to when the bezel part is a separate part. If the bezel is configured as a separate part having a high heatproof temperature, the procurement cost of the bezel increases. However, if the bezel part is formed integrally with the case simply by partially deforming the case, as described in the present invention, it is possible to reduce the procurement cost of the bezel part.

  • Patent number: 10120189
    Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to provide a heads-up display device able to efficiently orient image light towards a viewer by means of a simple configuration. The heads-up display device is provided with: a projection unit that emits projection light depicting a display image; a first reflection unit and second reflection unit that reflect the projection light exiting the projection unit towards a transmissive screen; and the transmissive screen that outputs image light towards an observer by transmitting/scattering the projection light. By adjusting the angle of the light axis of the projection light entering the transmissive screen by rotating the first reflection unit and second reflection unit, the angle of the image light exiting the transmissive screen is adjusted.

  • Patent number: 9081179
    Abstract: A head-up display device which can improve light irradiation efficiency toward an eye box, suppress the amount of brightness change for a display image affected by the movement of the viewpoint, and achieve desirable properties for the light distribution angle. An illumination optical system of the head-up display device has a light source for emitting a light beam, a lens array for generating a plurality of images of the light source by dividing the light beam, and a field lens for irradiating on a display member at a given angle the light beam emitted from the image of the light source, which is generated by the lens array, wherein the lens array is arranged such that the imaging surface of the light source generated by the lens array is located on the side of the principal point of the field lens with respect to a focal point on the side of an object of the field lens.
