Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a display device for a vehicle. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, vehicles are equipped with a vehicle display device that displays information to be provided to occupants in the vehicle cabin as a virtual image. This vehicle display device is a so-called head-up display device and includes a display unit that emits display information to be projected onto a projection target as display light, a reflecting member that reflects the display light emitted from the display unit and projects the display light onto the projection target, and a housing that accommodates these. This vehicle display device projects the display light reflected by the reflecting member onto the projection target outside the housing, and allows occupants to view the display information corresponding to the projected display light as a virtual image. This type of vehicle display device is disclosed, for example, in Patent Document 1 listed below. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2020-148950 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In a vehicle display device, the viewing distance can be extended by increasing the number of reflective members as optical components within the housing, thereby extending the optical path length of the optical components. For example, in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, one plane mirror and two aspherical mirrors are arranged within the housing. However, in a vehicle display device, the more reflective members there are, the more difficult it may be to ensure the display quality of the virtual image unless the positional accuracy between the reflective members is improved.

[0005] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle display device that can extend the viewing distance while ensuring quality. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention provides a vehicle interior lighting system comprising an outer case, an inner case disposed within the outer case, a display unit configured to emit display information into the outer case as display light to be viewed as a virtual image by occupants within the vehicle cabin, a plane mirror configured to reflect the display light emitted from a display of the display unit within the outer case, a first concave mirror configured to reflect the display light reflected by the plane mirror within the outer case, and a second concave mirror configured to reflect the display light reflected by the first concave mirror within the outer case and project the display light from an emission port of the outer case onto a projection target within the vehicle cabin, wherein the outer case is configured to project the display light onto an object to be projected within the vehicle cabin. The vehicle comprises a lower case having an entrance port for allowing the display light emitted from the display of the fixed display unit to enter the interior of the vehicle, and holding the flat mirror and the second concave mirror inside the vehicle, and being fixed to the vehicle body; a lower cover that houses the display unit outside the lower case and is fixed to the lower case; an upper case having the exit port, being fixed to the lower case, and sandwiching the first concave mirror between itself and the lower case; and the inner case is fixed to the lower case inside the interior of the lower case and sandwiches the flat mirror between itself and the lower case. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] The vehicle display device according to the present invention uses three reflective members (a plane mirror, a first concave mirror, and a second concave mirror), which allows for high magnification and an extended viewing distance by extending the optical path length within the housing (the outer case and the inner case). However, the long optical path length of this vehicle display device makes it difficult to ensure the display quality of the virtual image. However, the vehicle display device according to the present invention uses aspherical mirrors (free-form mirrors) for two of the three reflective members (the first concave mirror and the second concave mirror), thereby ensuring the display quality of the virtual image. Furthermore, in the vehicle display device according to the present invention, the plane mirror is sandwiched between the lower case and the inner case of the outer case, the first concave mirror is sandwiched between the lower case and the upper case of the outer case, and the second concave mirror is held by the lower case. That is, in the vehicle display device according to the present invention, three reflective members (the plane mirror, the first concave mirror, and the second concave mirror) are all held in a single lower case with the three reflective members interposed therebetween. Therefore, this vehicle display device can minimize the number of design tolerances involved in the relative positional relationships among the three reflective members (the plane mirror, the first concave mirror, and the second concave mirror), thereby minimizing variations between the reflective members due to stack-up tolerances. Therefore, the vehicle display device according to the present invention can improve the positional accuracy between the plane mirror and the first concave mirror, and also improve the positional accuracy between the first concave mirror and the second concave mirror, thereby creating a highly accurate optical path within the housing (outer case, inner case), thereby ensuring the display quality of virtual images. Furthermore, because the vehicle display device according to the present invention has its lower case fixed to the vehicle body, the positional accuracy from this fixing point to each reflective member (the plane mirror, the first concave mirror, and the second concave mirror) can be improved, and therefore the positional accuracy between the second concave mirror and the projection target can also be improved. Therefore, the vehicle display device according to the present invention can improve the accuracy of the optical path not only inside the housing (outer case, inner case) but also to the outside of the housing, thereby ensuring the display quality of the virtual image. In this way, the vehicle display device according to the present invention can extend the viewing distance while ensuring the display quality of the virtual image.

[0009] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a vehicle display device according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment.

[0010] [Embodiment] One embodiment of a vehicle display device according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9. FIG.

[0011] 1 to 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a vehicle display device according to this embodiment. The vehicle display device 1 is a so-called head-up display device that displays information to be provided to occupants in the cabin of a vehicle (such as an automobile) as a virtual image. The vehicle display device 1 projects display light relating to the display information onto a projection surface Rwf, such as a windshield, in the cabin, and reflects the display light from the projection surface Rwf toward the occupants, thereby allowing the occupants to visually recognize a virtual image of the display information (FIG. 1).

[0012] The vehicle display device 1 includes a display unit 10 that emits display information as display light into an outer case 70 (described below) to be viewed as a virtual image by passengers in the vehicle cabin (FIGS. 1 and 4). The display unit 10 includes a backlight (not shown) and a light-transmitting, plate-like display 11, and transmits light irradiated from the backlight onto the display 11, causing the light to be emitted from the display 11 as display light for display information (FIGS. 1 and 4). For example, a light-transmitting TFT liquid crystal (Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display) or the like is used as the display 11.

[0013] Furthermore, the vehicle display device 1 includes a plurality of reflecting members that reflect the display light emitted from the display 11 of the display unit 10 inside the outer case 70 and project the display light onto a projection area Rwf inside the vehicle cabin from an emission port 70a of the outer case 70. The vehicle display device 1 includes a plane mirror 20, a first concave mirror 30, and a second concave mirror 40 as its reflecting members (FIGS. 1, 3, and 5).

[0014] The plane mirror 20 reflects the display light emitted from the display 11 of the display unit 10 inside the outer case 70. The first concave mirror 30 reflects the display light reflected by the plane mirror 20 inside the outer case 70. The second concave mirror 40 reflects the display light reflected by the first concave mirror 30 inside the outer case 70, and projects the display light from the emission port 70a of the outer case 70 onto the projection area Rwf inside the vehicle cabin. The first concave mirror 30 and the second concave mirror 40 are magnifying mirrors that magnify and reflect the incident display light. For example, the first concave mirror 30 and the second concave mirror 40 are aspherical mirrors (free-form mirrors) whose reflective surfaces are concave into an aspherical shape (free-form shape).

[0015] Here, the vehicle display device 1 includes a drive unit 50 that rotates the second concave mirror 40 to change the imaging position (display position) of the virtual image (FIGS. 1, 5, and 6). Here, the second concave mirror 40 is rotated around a rotation axis in the vehicle width direction to change the imaging position (display position) of the virtual image in the vehicle up-down direction. The drive unit 50 includes a motor 51 as a drive source, a power transmission mechanism 52 that operates with the output of the motor 51, and a rotary shaft 53 that rotates the second concave mirror 40 around its axis with the output of the motor 51 input via the power transmission mechanism 52, with the axial direction being the vehicle width direction (FIGS. 1 and 6).

[0016] The power transmission mechanism 52 may be a mechanism that directly applies a rotational torque corresponding to the output torque of the motor 51 to the rotation shaft 53. Alternatively, the power transmission mechanism 52 may be a power conversion mechanism that converts the output torque of the motor 51 into a linear force and applies this linear force to the second concave mirror 40, thereby rotating the rotation shaft 53 that is positioned eccentrically with respect to the input point of the linear force. The rotation shaft 53 may be provided on the second concave mirror 40, or may be provided on a holding member that holds the second concave mirror 40. The rotation shaft 53 is formed in a cylindrical or columnar shape.

[0017] The power transmission mechanism 52 in this example is a power conversion mechanism that converts the output torque of the motor 51 into a linear force, and includes an input receiving portion 52a to which the linear force is input on the second concave mirror 40 side (FIGS. 5 and 6). In this example, the second concave mirror 40 is held by a holding member 41 (FIGS. 3, 5, and 6). The holding member 41 is provided with a pair of coaxial rotating shafts 53 and an input receiving portion 52a arranged in an eccentric position relative to the pair of rotating shafts 53.

[0018] This drive unit 50 rotates the second concave mirror 40 around the rotation axis 53, thereby changing the incident angle of the display light reflected from the first concave mirror 30 onto the second concave mirror 40, and also changing the emission angle of the display light reflected from the second concave mirror 40 toward the projection surface Rwf. By changing the emission angle of the display light from the second concave mirror 40 toward the projection surface Rwf, this drive unit 50 changes the imaging position (display position) of a virtual image related to the display light in the vertical direction of the vehicle.

[0019] The display light projected onto the projection area Rwf is reflected from the projection area Rwf to the eyepoint EP or eyebox EB, where it is visually recognized by the occupant as a virtual image (Figure 1). The eyepoint EP indicates the position of the occupant's eyes inside the vehicle. The eyebox EB indicates the range of the eyepoint EP where the virtual image can be seen.

[0020] The projection target portion Rwf refers to the windshield (here, the front windshield Wf) itself or a portion thereof (FIG. 1). The projection target portion Rwf may also be formed as a half mirror that receives display light from the second concave mirror 40 on a reflective surface, reflects it toward the eyepoint EP or the eyebox EB, and emits light from outside the vehicle toward the occupants. For example, the projection target portion Rwf as a half mirror may be formed as a semi-transparent film that conforms to the curved shape of the windshield (front windshield Wf) and is attached to the interior wall surface of the windshield with an adhesive. The projection target portion Rwf as a half mirror may also be formed as a semi-transparent film that conforms to the curved shape of the windshield (front windshield Wf) and is sealed together with an intermediate film inside the laminated windshield. The projection target portion Rwf as a half mirror may also be a semi-transparent film that is coated, for example, on the interior wall surface of the windshield (front windshield Wf). The projection target portion Rwf may be a combiner that covers the front windshield Wf from the inside of the vehicle compartment.

[0021] The vehicle display device 1 includes a control unit 60 that controls the operation of the display unit 10 and the drive unit 50 (FIG. 1). The control unit 60 controls, for example, the display information (display light) of the display unit 10. The control unit 60 also controls the output of the motor 51 to rotate the second concave mirror 40.

[0022] The vehicle display device 1 includes an outer case 70 and an inner case 80 disposed inside the outer case 70 (FIGS. 2 and 3). In the vehicle display device 1, the housing is composed of the outer case 70 and the inner case 80.

[0023] In addition to the inner case 80, the outer case 70 accommodates at least the display unit 10, the plane mirror 20, the first concave mirror 30, the second concave mirror 40, and part or all of the drive unit 50. The outer case 70 emits display light from the display 11 of the display unit 10 indoors, and then transmits the reflected display light to the second concave mirror 40 and emits it outdoors toward the projection surface Rwf. The outer case 70 has an opening (hereinafter referred to as the "emission port") 70a through which the display light reflected by the second concave mirror 40 is emitted outdoors (FIGS. 2 and 3). The inner case 80 forms an optical path within the outer case 70 between the display 11 of the display unit 10 and the emission port 70a of the outer case 70.

[0024] The outer case 70 has an opening (hereinafter referred to as the "incident port") 70b that allows display light emitted from the display 11 of the display unit 10 fixed to the outside of the vehicle to enter the vehicle interior, and is equipped with a lower case 70A that holds the plane mirror 20 and the second concave mirror 40 inside the vehicle and is fixed to the vehicle body, and a lower cover 70B that houses the display unit 10 outside the lower case 70A and is fixed to the lower case 70A (Figures 2 to 4).

[0025] The display unit 10 is disposed outside the lower case 70A with the display 11 facing the light entrance 70b and facing the interior of the lower case 70A. The display unit 10 is fixed to the lower case 70A with screws outside the lower case 70A. The lower cover 70B houses the display unit 10 in a manner that covers the exterior of the lower case 70A and is fixed to the lower case 70A with screws.

[0026] The lower case 70A has an opening (hereinafter referred to as the "accommodation opening") 70c that opens toward the top of the vehicle (FIGS. 3 and 4). The plane mirror 20, the second concave mirror 40, part or all of the drive unit 50, and the inner case 80 are accommodated in the interior of the lower case 70A through the accommodation opening 70c.

[0027] In this lower case 70A, the plane mirror 20 inside the chamber is sandwiched between the first inner case 80A (described later). In this lower case 70A, the peripheral edge of the first concave mirror 30 is placed on the peripheral edge of the accommodation opening 70c, and the first concave mirror 30 is sandwiched between the lower case 70A and the upper case 70C (described later). In this lower case 70A, the rotating shaft 53 on the second concave mirror 40 side is held inside the chamber via a bearing part 54 (FIGS. 5 and 6). The bearing part 54 is formed or configured to rotatably support the rotating shaft 53, and is fixed to a bearing fixing part 71 (FIG. 4) inside the chamber of the lower case 70A. Here, the bearing part 54 is fixed to the bearing fixing part 71 inside the chamber of the lower case 70A with screws. The drive unit 50 includes a bearing part 54 for each rotating shaft 53.

[0028] An outer wall surface of lower case 70A is provided with vehicle body fixing portions 72 for fixing to the vehicle body (FIGS. 2 to 4). Lower case 70A is fixed to the vehicle body at vehicle body fixing portions 72 with screws.

[0029] The outer case 70 further includes an upper case 70C having an outlet 70a, fixed to the lower case 70A, and sandwiching the first concave mirror 30 between the upper case 70C and the lower case 70A, and a transparent cover 70D that covers the outlet 70a (Figures 2 and 3).

[0030] The upper case 70C covers the plane mirror 20, the second concave mirror 40, part or all of the drive unit 50, and the inner case 80 housed in the lower case 70A from the outside, and closes the accommodation opening 70c of the lower case 70A by sandwiching the peripheral edge of the first concave mirror 30 placed on the peripheral edge of the accommodation opening 70c. The upper case 70C is fixed to the lower case 70A with screws while closing the accommodation opening 70c. The upper case 70C has an emission opening 70a above the vehicle. The cover 70D is attached to the upper case 70C in a manner that closes the emission opening 70a.

[0031] The vehicular display device 1 is housed in an instrument panel Pi inside the vehicle cabin with its cover 70D exposed (FIG. 1). In this vehicular display device 1, display light reflected by the second concave mirror 40 is emitted from the cover 70D to the outside of the outer case 70 and projected onto a projection area Rwf located beyond the second concave mirror 40, where the display light is reflected by the projection area Rwf toward the eyepoint EP or the eyebox EB.

[0032] The inner case 80 is fixed to the lower case 70A within the chamber of the lower case 70A. The inner case 80 sandwiches the plane mirror 20 between itself and the lower case 70A. The inner case 80 includes a first inner case 80A that is fixed to the lower case 70A within the chamber of the lower case 70A and sandwiches the plane mirror 20 within the chamber of the lower case 70A between itself and the lower case 70A, and a second inner case 80B that is fixed to the lower case 70A within the chamber of the lower case 70A (FIGS. 3 and 5).

[0033] The first inner case 80A has a first internal space 81a (FIGS. 5, 7, and 8) that forms an optical path between the display 11 and the plane mirror 20 and an optical path between the plane mirror 20 and the first concave mirror 30. The first inner case 80A has a first opening 81b, a second opening 81c, and a third opening 81d (FIGS. 5, 7, and 8).

[0034] The first opening 81b is disposed opposite the display 11 and allows display light emitted from the display 11 to enter the first internal space 81a. The first opening 81b is disposed opposite the light entrance 70b of the lower case 70A inside the lower case 70A.

[0035] The second opening 81c has an opening periphery that sandwiches the periphery of the plane mirror 20 between itself and the lower case 70A, exposing the plane mirror 20 to the first internal space 81a. Therefore, the second opening 81c allows the display light from the display 11 that has entered the first internal space 81a to be incident on the plane mirror 20, and the display light reflected by the plane mirror 20 to be emitted toward the first concave mirror 30.

[0036] The third opening 81d allows the display light reflected by the plane mirror 20 to exit the first internal space 81a toward the first concave mirror 30.

[0037] The first inner case 80A is fixed to the lower case 70A with screws, with the plane mirror 20 sandwiched between the first inner case 80A and the lower case 70A.

[0038] The second inner case 80B has a second internal space 82a (FIGS. 5 and 9) that forms an optical path between the plane mirror 20 and the first concave mirror 30, an optical path between the first concave mirror 30 and the second concave mirror 40, and an optical path between the second concave mirror 40 and the projection target Rwf. The second inner case 80B has a first opening 82b, a second opening 82c, a third opening 82d, and a fourth opening 82e (FIGS. 5 and 9).

[0039] The first opening 82b is disposed opposite the third opening 81d of the first inner case 80A, so that the first opening 82b allows the display light reflected by the plane mirror 20 toward the first concave mirror 30 to enter the second internal space 82a.

[0040] The second opening 82c is disposed opposite the first concave mirror 30. This allows the display light from the plane mirror 20 that has entered the second internal space 82a to be incident on the first concave mirror 30, and the display light reflected by the first concave mirror 30 to be emitted toward the second concave mirror 40.

[0041] The third opening 82d is disposed opposite the second concave mirror 40. This allows the display light reflected by the first concave mirror 30 to be incident on the second concave mirror 40, and the display light reflected by the second concave mirror 40 to be emitted toward the projection portion Rwf.

[0042] The fourth opening 82e is disposed opposite the light exit port 70a of the upper case 70C and the cover 70D, and emits the display light reflected by the second concave mirror 40 to the outside of the second internal space 82a toward the projection portion Rwf.

[0043] The second inner case 80B is fixed to the lower case 70A with screws.

[0044] As described above, the vehicle display device 1 of this embodiment uses three reflective members (the plane mirror 20, the first concave mirror 30, and the second concave mirror 40), which increases the magnification of the virtual image display and also increases the optical path length within the housing (the outer case 70 and the inner case 80), thereby extending the viewing distance. On the other hand, since the vehicle display device 1 requires a long optical path length, it becomes difficult to ensure the display quality of the virtual image.

[0045] However, the vehicle display device 1 of this embodiment uses aspherical mirrors (free-form mirrors) for two of its three reflective members (plane mirror 20, first concave mirror 30, second concave mirror 40), so the display quality of the virtual image can be ensured.

[0046] Furthermore, in the vehicle display device 1 of this embodiment, the plane mirror 20 is sandwiched between the lower case 70A of the outer case 70 and the first inner case 80A of the inner case 80, the first concave mirror 30 is sandwiched between the lower case 70A and the upper case 70C of the outer case 70, and the second concave mirror 40 is held by the lower case 70A via the bearing component 54. That is, in the vehicle display device 1 of this embodiment, the three reflective members (the plane mirror 20, the first concave mirror 30, and the second concave mirror 40) are all held by the single lower case 70A with the mirrors interposed therebetween. Therefore, this vehicle display device 1 can minimize the number of design tolerances involved in the relative positional relationships among the three reflective members (the plane mirror 20, the first concave mirror 30, and the second concave mirror 40), and can minimize variations among the reflective members due to stack-up tolerances. Therefore, the vehicle display device 1 of this embodiment can improve the positional accuracy between the plane mirror 20 and the first concave mirror 30, and can also improve the positional accuracy between the first concave mirror 30 and the second concave mirror 40, and can create a highly accurate optical path within the housing (outer case 70, inner case 80), thereby ensuring the display quality of the virtual image.

[0047] Furthermore, in the vehicle display device 1 of this embodiment, the lower case 70A is fixed to the vehicle body, so the positional accuracy from this fixing point to each of the reflecting members (the plane mirror 20, the first concave mirror 30, and the second concave mirror 40) can be improved, and accordingly, the positional accuracy between the second concave mirror 40 and the projection target Rwf can also be improved. Therefore, the vehicle display device 1 of this embodiment can increase the accuracy of the optical path not only inside the housing (the outer case 70 and the inner case 80) but also to the outside of the housing, thereby ensuring the display quality of the virtual image.

[0048] In this way, the vehicle display device 1 of this embodiment can increase the viewing distance while ensuring the display quality of the virtual image.

[0049] Furthermore, the vehicle display device 1 of this embodiment employs a two-part structure for the inner case 80, which forms the optical path, consisting of a first inner case 80A and a second inner case 80B. Therefore, compared to a single-component inner case, the vehicle display device 1 of this embodiment offers greater design freedom for the optical path shape and improved moldability. Furthermore, compared to a single-component inner case, the vehicle display device 1 of this embodiment allows the first inner case 80A and the second inner case 80B, which are smaller in size, to be assembled separately. This reduces the risk of strong interference with the three reflecting members (the plane mirror 20, the first concave mirror 30, and the second concave mirror 40) during assembly. Therefore, the vehicle display device 1 can be assembled more easily. [Explanation of symbols]
