  • Patent number: 10365484
    Abstract: A head-up display device includes: an image generator that emits light; and a display member including: a projection surface onto which the light is projected, wherein when the light is emitted to the projection surface, the light is reflected from the projection surface to display a real image passing through the display member and a virtual image; and a plate material including: a pair of optical surfaces, one positioned nearer to an observer side than the other, and either of which can serve as the projection surface; an end surface connecting peripheries of the pair of optical surfaces; and an end main surface formed at a predetermined a distance from the end surface to a reference line passing through a reference point and being orthogonal to a tangent plane at the reference point.

  • Publication number: 20120019912
    Abstract: Provided is a lens having a high NA, wherein defects caused when the lens is molded can be eliminated and the laps exhibits a high mountability. A transition surface transferring surface (31b) is formed between a first optical surface transferring surface (31a) and an intermediate end surface transferring surface (31c) to form a transition surface. Consequently, if a lens (OE) has a large thickness deviation ratio, the occurrence of a flow mark, etc., is prevented in order to achieve a high precision molding of the lens.
