  • Publication number: 20240126076
    Abstract: A head-up display device includes: an indicator dimmed by duty ratio control and configured to emit display light; a mirror member rotatable about a rotation shaft and configured to reflect the display light from the indicator to project a display image; a control unit configured to control the dimming of the indicator and the rotation of the mirror member; and a temperature sensor configured to output a signal corresponding to an ambient temperature around the indicator. The control unit includes: a temperature prediction unit configured to predict a temperature of the indicator, and a failure avoidance unit configured to execute lowering an upper limit of the duty ratio or rotation control of the mirror member for reducing the amount of sunlight that enters the indicator through the mirror member when the predicted temperature of the indicator is greater than or equal to a threshold.
