Publication number: 20190225083Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a projection optical system having a minimal optical configuration while ensuring necessary capabilities and a head-up display device having a tilted virtual image plane. The head-up display device according to the present invention includes an image forming unit to emit image light containing image information and an eyepiece optical system to display a virtual image by reflecting the image light. While a virtual image plane is tilted to display a virtual image in a range from a far distance to a near distance, a point on the image forming unit conjugating to a far point on the virtual image plane is optically farther from a light flux entering the image forming unit than a point on the image forming unit conjugating to a near point on the virtual image plane.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2016Publication date: July 25, 2019Applicants: MAXELL, LTD., HITACHI INDUSTRY & CONTROL SOLUTIONS, LTD.Inventors: Masahiko YATSU, Koji HIRATA, Shigeki HOSHINO
