[0010] Hereinafter, the embodiments will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

[0011] Note that the embodiments described below each illustrate a specific example of the present disclosure. The numerical values, shapes, materials, components, component placement positions, connection configurations, steps, and step sequences shown in the following embodiments are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Furthermore, among the components in the following embodiments, components that are not recited in independent claims are described as optional components. Furthermore, in this specification, terms indicating the relationship between elements, such as "same" or "parallel," terms indicating the shape of elements, such as "rectangular" or "circular," and numerical values ​​are not intended to express only strict meanings, but are also intended to include a substantially equivalent range, for example, a difference of about a few percent (e.g., about 10%).

[0012] (Embodiment 1) [Sun visor configuration] The configuration of the sun visor according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0013] Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a sun visor 1 and the like provided in the interior of a vehicle 2. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing the sun visor 1 according to the first embodiment in use as viewed from the seat 3 side. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing the sun visor 1 in use as viewed from the side of the vehicle 2.

[0014] The sun visor 1 is a shading device that blocks direct sunlight from entering the eyes of passengers inside the vehicle 2. The sun visor 1 is attached to the interior roof 5 of the vehicle 2 via, for example, a rod-shaped support member 6, and is capable of swinging around a horizontal axis. The sun visor 1 is also configured to be able to stop at any position during its swing. The sun visor 1 may also be capable of swinging around a vertical axis via the support member 6.

[0015] The sun visor 1 can be positioned in three positions: a storage position close to the interior roof 5 (see FIGS. 2(a) and 3(a)), a front position close to the windshield 4 (see FIGS. 2(b) and 3(c)), and a storage-front intermediate position between the storage position and the front position (see FIG. 3(b)). The sun visor 1 can block light at each of the front position and the storage-front intermediate position. The sun visor 1 of this embodiment is also configured to allow the use of a display device 20, which will be described later, at each of the storage position, front position, and storage-front intermediate position. The windshield is also called a windshield.

[0016] Fig. 4 is a front view of the sun visor 1. Fig. 5 is a view of the sun visor 1 as seen from the line VV shown in Fig. 4.

[0017] Viewing the sun visor 1 from the front means viewing the sun visor 1 as a standalone product from the front, and viewing the sun visor 1 from a direction perpendicular to the main surface of the sun visor 1. Note that in Fig. 4, for ease of understanding, the gap between the display device 20 and the main body 10 is shown larger than it actually is. Also, for ease of understanding, the main body 10 has been partially removed to show a rotation shaft 28 of the display device 20 and a bearing portion 18 of the main body 10, which will be described later.

[0018] Fig. 5(a) shows the sun visor 1 in the front position, Fig. 5(b) shows the sun visor 1 in the intermediate position between the storage position and the front position, and Fig. 5(c) shows the sun visor 1 in the storage position. Hatching of the cross section of the display device 20 is omitted in Fig. 5. Similarly, hatching of the cross section of the display device 20 may be omitted hereinafter.

[0019] The sun visor 1 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 includes a main body 10 having an opening 14 and a display device 20 disposed in the opening 14.

[0020] The main body 10 is a member that forms the main body of the sun visor 1. The main body 10 is flat and is mostly made of a resin material. The main body 10 has one main surface 11 of two main surfaces and the other main surface 12 facing away from the one main surface 11. For example, when the other main surface 12 is disposed adjacent to and opposite the windshield 4, the one main surface 11 faces the seat 3, and when the one main surface 11 is disposed adjacent to and opposite the interior roof 5, the other main surface 12 faces the seat 3 (see FIG. 3).

[0021] The opening 14 of the main body 10 has a rectangular shape when viewed from a direction perpendicular to one main surface 11. That is, the opening 14 has four opening side surfaces. The four opening side surfaces are composed of a first opening side surface 14a and a second opening side surface 14b corresponding to the short sides of the rectangle, and a third opening side surface 14c and a fourth opening side surface 14d corresponding to the long sides of the rectangle. The first opening side surface 14a and the second opening side surface 14b face each other, and the third opening side surface 14c and the fourth opening side surface 14d face each other. The third opening side surface 14c and the fourth opening side surface 14d are each perpendicular to the first opening side surface 14a and one main surface 11, respectively.

[0022] The four opening side surfaces may be provided with a resin material having elasticity like a sponge, or the area including the four opening side surfaces may be made of a resin material having elasticity.

[0023] The display device 20 is a device that displays image information such as moving images or still images, and is, for example, a liquid crystal panel. The liquid crystal panel may have a backlight, or may be a self-luminous panel without a backlight.

[0024] The display device 20 has a flat plate shape, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and has a display surface 21 located on the display side of the display device 20 for displaying image information, and a back surface 22 facing away from the display surface 21.

[0025] When viewed from a direction perpendicular to the display surface 21, the display device 20 has a rectangular shape that is smaller than the opening 14 of the main body 10. In other words, the display device 20 has four side surfaces. The four side surfaces are composed of a first side surface 20a and a second side surface 20b corresponding to the short sides of the rectangle, and a third side surface 20c and a fourth side surface 20d corresponding to the long sides of the rectangle. The first side surface 20a and the second side surface 20b are back-to-back with each other, and the third side surface 20c and the fourth side surface 20d are back-to-back with each other. The third side surface 20c and the fourth side surface 20d are perpendicular to the first side surface 20a and the display surface 21, respectively.

[0026] The display device 20 of this embodiment is supported rotatably relative to the main body 10.

[0027] The sun visor 1 is configured such that, in the front position described above, the third side surface 20c faces the third opening side surface 14c, and the fourth side surface 20d faces the fourth opening side surface 14d (see FIG. 5(a)). In addition, in the retracted position described above, the sun visor 1 is configured such that the third side surface 20c faces the fourth opening side surface 14d, and the fourth side surface 20d faces the third opening side surface 14c (see FIG. 5(c)).

[0028] Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram showing the rotating shaft 28 of the display device 20 provided in the sun visor 1 and the bearing portion 18 of the main body 10. The figure shows a view in which a portion of the bearing portion 18 and the main body 10 has been cut out. Note that Fig. 6 shows the rotating shaft 28 and the bearing portion 18 as viewed from the first side surface 20a, but the rotating shaft 28 and the bearing portion 18 as viewed from the second side surface 20b have the same configuration.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 6, the display device 20 has a rotation shaft 28 protruding from a side surface of the display device 20. The rotation shaft 28 is provided on each of the first side surface 20a and the second side surface 20b. The rotation shaft 28 provided on the first side surface 20a protrudes from the center of the first side surface 20a perpendicularly to the first side surface 20a. The rotation shaft 28 provided on the second side surface 20b protrudes from the center of the second side surface 20b perpendicularly to the second side surface 20b (not shown). The rotation shaft 28 is formed of a metal material such as stainless steel.

[0030] The main body 10 has a bearing 18 that rotatably supports a rotation shaft 28. The bearing 18 is provided on each of the first opening side surface 14a and the second opening side surface 14b. The bearing 18 is formed, for example, from a resin material. The central axis of the bearing 18 coincides with the central axis of the rotation shaft 28, and the rotation shaft 28 of the display device 20 is press-fitted into the bearing 18 of the main body 10. The inner diameter of the bearing 18 is smaller than the outer diameter of the rotation shaft 28 (in other words, the outer diameter of the rotation shaft 28 is larger than the inner diameter of the bearing 18), and the bearing 18 and the rotation shaft 28 are tightly fitted together. For example, the display device 20 is configured to rotate when a predetermined force is applied in a rotational direction about the rotation shaft 28, and to stop rotating and stop at any rotational position when the predetermined force is no longer applied.

[0031] In this way, the display device 20 is rotatable via the bearing portion 18 of the main body 10. In this example, the display device 20 is rotated manually. For example, a user using the sun visor 1 rotates the display device 20 in the position between the stowed position and the front position so that the third side surface 20c faces the third opening side surface 14c and the fourth side surface 20d faces the fourth opening side surface 14d. This allows the back surface 22 to face the windshield 4 and the display surface 21 to face the seat 3 when the sun visor 1 is placed in the front position.

[0032] In addition, the user rotates the display device 20 in the position between the storage position and the front position so that the third side surface 20c faces the fourth opening side surface 14d and the fourth side surface 20d faces the third opening side surface 14c. This allows the back surface 22 to face the interior roof 5 and the display surface 21 to face the seat 3 when the sun visor 1 is placed in the storage position.

[0033] Furthermore, when the sun visor 1 is in the storage-front position, the user can rotate the display device 20 so that the display surface 21 faces the seat 3.

[0034] As described above, the sun visor 1 of this embodiment comprises a main body 10 having an opening 14 and a display device 20 arranged in the opening 14, and the display device 20 is supported rotatably relative to the main body 10.

[0035] According to this sun visor 1, the user can view the display on the display device 20 whether the sun visor 1 is placed on the windshield 4 side or the interior roof 5 side. Furthermore, according to this sun visor 1, the user can view the display on the display device 20 even when the sun visor 1 is placed between the windshield 4 and the interior roof 5.

[0036] In the above example, the display device 20 has the rotation shaft 28, and the main body 10 has the bearing 18, but this is not limiting. For example, the main body 10 of the sun visor 1 may have a rotation shaft that protrudes inward from the opening side surfaces 14a, 14b of the opening 14, and the display device 20 may have a bearing that is rotatable about the rotation shaft.

[0037] [First Modification of First Embodiment] A sun visor 1 according to Modification 1 of Embodiment 1 will be described. In this modification, an example will be described in which the third side surface 20c and the fourth side surface 20d have convex curved surfaces, and the third opening side surface 14c and the fourth opening side surface 14d have concave curved surfaces so that the display device 20 can be easily rotated.

[0038] Fig. 7 is a front view of the sun visor 1 according to Modification 1 of Embodiment 1. Fig. 8 is a view of the sun visor 1 according to Modification 1 as viewed from the line VIII-VIII shown in Fig. 7. Fig. 8(a) shows the sun visor 1 when it is positioned in the front position, Fig. 8(b) shows the sun visor 1 when it is positioned in the intermediate position between the stored position and the front position, and Fig. 8(c) shows the sun visor 1 when it is positioned in the stored position.

[0039] The sun visor 1 of the first modification includes a main body 10 having an opening 14, and a display device 20 disposed in the opening 14. The main body 10 has four opening side surfaces 14a, 14b, 14c, and 14d, and the display device 20 has four side surfaces 20a, 20b, 20c, and 20d.

[0040] In the first modification, when the sun visor 1 is viewed in cross section perpendicular to the rotation axis 28, the third side surface 20c and the fourth side surface 20d each have a convex curved surface. These convex curved surfaces are arc-shaped curved surfaces located on the same circle. The third side surface 20c and the fourth side surface 20d are rotationally symmetrical by 180° about the rotation axis 28.

[0041] Furthermore, when the sun visor 1 is viewed in cross section perpendicular to the rotation axis 28, the third opening side surface 14c and the fourth opening side surface 14d each have a concave curved surface. These concave curved surfaces are arc-shaped curved surfaces located on the same circle. The third opening side surface 14c and the fourth opening side surface 14d are rotationally symmetrical by 180° about the rotation axis 28. The concave curved surface and the convex curved surface are located on concentric circles, and the radius of curvature of the concave curved surface is larger than the radius of curvature of the convex curved surface.

[0042] In this modification 1, the third side surface 20c and the fourth side surface 20d have convex curved surfaces, and the opening side surfaces 14c and 14d of the opening 14 facing the third side surface 20c and the fourth side surface 20d have concave curved surfaces. This allows the display device 20 to be smoothly inserted and removed from the opening 14 of the main body 10. This allows the user to view the display on the display device 20 regardless of whether the sun visor 1 is positioned on the windshield 4 side or the interior roof 5 side. Furthermore, even if there is a gap between the display device 20 and the main body 10, the intrusion of light through the gap can be suppressed, improving the light-blocking effect.

[0043] [Modification 2 of Embodiment 1] A sun visor 1 according to Modification 2 of Embodiment 1 will be described. In this modification, an example will be described in which the sun visor 1 is provided with a stopper 15 for preventing the display device 20 from rotating too much.

[0044] Fig. 9 is a front view of the sun visor 1 according to Modification 2 of Embodiment 1. Fig. 10 is a view of the sun visor 1 according to Modification 1 as viewed from the line XX shown in Fig. 9. Fig. 10(a) shows the sun visor 1 when it is positioned in the front position, and Fig. 10(b) shows the sun visor 1 when it is positioned in the storage position.

[0045] In FIG. 10, for ease of understanding, the length of the short side direction (Z-axis direction) of the display device 20 is shown shorter than it actually is, and the stopper 15 is shown to look larger.

[0046] The sun visor 1 of the second modification includes a main body 10 having an opening 14, and a display device 20 disposed in the opening 14. The main body 10 has four opening side surfaces 14a, 14b, 14c, and 14d, and the display device 20 has four side surfaces 20a, 20b, 20c, and 20d.

[0047] Each of the third side surface 20c and the fourth side surface 20d has a convex curved surface, and each of the third opening side surface 14c and the fourth opening side surface 14d has a concave curved surface.

[0048] The main body 10 of the second modification has a stopper 15 for stopping the rotation of the display device 20 at a rotation angle of 180° (i.e., 1 / 2 rotation). The stopper 15 is provided in the center 13 in the thickness direction of the main body 10 (the Y-axis direction in FIG. 10 ). The stopper 15 protrudes inward from an opening side surface facing either the third side surface 20c or the fourth side surface 20d of the display device 20. In the example shown in FIG. 10 , the stopper 15 protrudes inward from the third opening side surface 14c facing the third side surface 20c. The stopper 15 extends in a direction parallel to one main surface 11 of the main body 10 and perpendicular to the rotation axis 28, and in a direction approaching the rotation axis 28.

[0049] The stopper 15 has a tip surface 15a located at the tip of the protrusion and two wall surfaces 15b1 and 15b2 connecting the tip surface 15a and the third opening side surface 14c. The tip surface 15a has a concave shape. The two wall surfaces 15b1 and 15b2 are parallel to one of the main surfaces 11.

[0050] The display device 20 has one end 23 and the other end 24 of both ends in the thickness direction. In this example, the one end 23 is located on the display surface 21 side, and the other end 24 is located on the back surface 22 side. The length of the display device 20 in the thickness direction is shorter than the long and short sides of the rectangular display device 20.

[0051] The display device 20 of the second modification has a first protrusion 26 protruding from the third side surface 20c at one end 23 and a second protrusion 27 protruding from the fourth side surface 20d at one end 23. The first protrusion 26 and the second protrusion 27 protrude from the same one of the two end portions.

[0052] First protrusion 26 extends in a direction parallel to display surface 21 and perpendicular to rotation axis 28, and in a direction away from third side surface 20c. First protrusion 26 has tip surface 26a located at the tip in the protruding direction, and wall surface 26b that runs along the protruding direction of first protrusion 26 and faces away from display surface 21.

[0053] Second protrusion 27 extends in a direction parallel to display surface 21 and perpendicular to rotation axis 28, and in a direction away from fourth side surface 20d. Second protrusion 27 has tip surface 27a located at the tip in the protruding direction, and wall surface 27b that extends along the protruding direction of second protrusion 27 and faces away from display surface 21.

[0054] Each of the tip surface 26a of the first protrusion 26 and the tip surface 27a of the second protrusion 27 has a convex curved surface. This convex curved surface is an arc-shaped curved surface located on the same circle. The concave curved surfaces of the third opening side surface 14c and the fourth opening side surface 14d and the convex curved surfaces of the tip surfaces 26a and 27a are located on concentric circles, and the radius of curvature of the concave curved surface is larger than the radius of curvature of the convex curved surface.

[0055] 10(a), the display device 20 stops rotating in a predetermined direction (clockwise rotation in the example of FIG. 10) when the wall surface 26b of the first protrusion 26 abuts against the wall surface 15b1 of the stopper 15. Also, the display device 20 stops rotating in the opposite direction to the predetermined direction (counterclockwise rotation in the example of FIG. 10) when the wall surface 27b of the second protrusion 27 abuts against the wall surface 15b2 of the stopper 15, as shown in FIG. 10(b).

[0056] In this second modification, when the display device 20 rotates in one direction around the rotation axis 28, either the first protrusion 26 or the second protrusion 27 comes into contact with the stopper 15. This configuration prevents the display device 20 from rotating too much relative to the main body 10. This allows the user to view the display on the display device 20 regardless of whether the sun visor 1 is placed on the windshield 4 side or the interior roof 5 side.

[0057] [Third Modification of First Embodiment] A sun visor 1 according to a third modification of the first embodiment will be described. In this modification, an example in which the sun visor 1 is provided with a first rotation restricting portion 16 that restricts the rotation of the display device 20 will be described.

[0058] Fig. 11 is a front view of the sun visor 1 according to Modification 3 of Embodiment 1. Fig. 12 is a view of the sun visor 1 according to Modification 3 as viewed from the line XII-XII shown in Fig. 11. Fig. 12(a) shows a state in which the rotation of the sun visor 1 is restricted, and Fig. 12(b) shows a state in which the restriction on the rotation of the sun visor 1 is released.

[0059] The sun visor 1 of the third modification includes a main body 10 having an opening 14 and a display device 20 disposed in the opening 14.

[0060] The main body 10 has a first rotation restricting portion 16 that restricts the rotation of the display device 20. The first rotation restricting portion 16 has a U-shaped cross section when viewed from the axial direction of the rotation shaft 28. The first rotation restricting portion 16 is formed of, for example, an elastic resin material or a metal material.

[0061] The first rotation restricting portion 16 is movable along one main surface 11 and the other main surface 12 of the main body portion 10, and is also movable in a direction along the display surface 21 and rear surface 22 of the display device 20. In other words, the first rotation restricting portion 16 is movable between a first position p1 where the display surface 21 and rear surface 22 of the display device 20 are sandwiched between them, and a second position p2 where the display surface 21 and rear surface 22 are not sandwiched between them.

[0062] At the first position p1, the first rotation restricting portion 16 clamps the one main surface 11 and the other main surface 12 of the main body portion 10, and also clamps the display surface 21 and the back surface 22 of the display device 20. By clamping the display surface 21 and the back surface 22 of the display device 20 in this manner, the rotation of the display device 20 is restricted.

[0063] Furthermore, the first rotation restricting portion 16 is in contact with one of the main surfaces 11 of the main body portion 10 at the second position p2. and the other main surface 12, but does not clamp the display surface 21 and the back surface 22 of the display device 20. In this way, the first rotation restricting portion 16 does not clamp the display surface 21 and the back surface 22 of the display device 20, so that the display device 20 can be rotated.

[0064] In the third modification, the sun visor 1 has the first rotation restriction portion 16 that restricts the rotation of the display device 20, so that the rotation of the display device 20 can be restricted reliably. This prevents the display device 20 from rattling while allowing the display device 20 to rotate as needed. This allows the user to view the display on the display device 20 regardless of whether the sun visor 1 is placed on the windshield 4 side or the interior roof 5 side.

[0065] [Fourth Modification of First Embodiment] A sun visor 1 according to a fourth modification of the first embodiment will be described. In this modification, an example in which the sun visor 1 is provided with a rotation drive unit 65 for rotating the display device 20 will be described.

[0066] Fig. 13 is a view of a sun visor 1 according to Modification 4 of Embodiment 1, as seen from the side of the vehicle 2. Fig. 14 is a block diagram of the sun visor 1 according to Modification 4. Fig. 13(a) shows the sun visor 1 in the stored position, Fig. 13(b) shows the sun visor 1 in the intermediate position between the stored position and the front position, and Fig. 13(c) shows the sun visor 1 in the front position.

[0067] 14 , the sun visor 1 of the fourth modification includes a rotation angle sensor 64 that detects the rotational position of the sun visor 1, a rotation drive unit 65 that rotates the display device 20, and a control communication circuit 60 that communicates with the rotation drive unit 65, the rotation angle sensor 64, and the display device 20. For example, power for operating the display device 20 is supplied from the control communication circuit 60 to the display device 20 through the inside of the rotation shaft 28. Power for operating the control communication circuit 60, the rotation angle sensor 64, and the rotation drive unit 65 is supplied via a support member 6 connected to the sun visor 1.

[0068] The rotation drive unit 65 is, for example, an electric motor or an ultrasonic motor. The housing of the rotation drive unit 65 is fixed to the main body 10, and a rotating member (for example, a motor shaft) of the rotation drive unit 65 is connected to the rotating shaft 28. The rotating member of the rotation drive unit 65 may be connected to the rotating shaft 28 via a gear. For ease of understanding, the rotation drive unit 65 is shown in FIG. 13 as being larger in thickness than the main body 10, but it may also be smaller in thickness than the main body 10.

[0069] The rotation angle sensor 64 is provided, for example, between the support member 6 connected to the sun visor 1 and the main body 10. The rotation angle sensor 64 outputs a signal including information on the rotation position of the sun visor 1 to the control communication circuit 60.

[0070] The control communication circuit 60 is configured by a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a storage unit having a volatile memory and a non-volatile memory, and a program stored in the storage unit. The control communication circuit 60 is provided inside the main body 10.

[0071] The control communication circuit 60 calculates the rotational position of the sun visor 1 based on the signal output from the rotation angle sensor 64. When the sun visor 1 exceeds a predetermined angle, the control communication circuit 60 rotates the display device 20. The predetermined angle is set appropriately within a range of 30° to 60° with the interior roof 5 as the reference, for example.

[0072] For example, when the control communication circuit 60 determines that the sun visor 1 has moved from the storage position toward the front position and exceeded a predetermined angle, it rotates the display device 20 so that the back surface 22 of the display device 20 faces the windshield 4 and the display surface 21 faces the seat 3. When the control communication circuit 60 determines that the sun visor 1 has moved from the front position toward the storage position and exceeded a predetermined angle, it rotates the display device 20 so that the back surface 22 of the display device 20 faces the interior roof 5 and the display surface 21 faces the seat 3.

[0073] The sun visor 1 of this fourth modification has a rotation drive unit 65 for rotating the display device 20, and the rotation drive unit 65 rotates the display device 20 when the sun visor 1 exceeds a predetermined angle. This allows the display device 20 to be automatically rotated in conjunction with manual rotation of the sun visor 1. Furthermore, because the display device 20 can be rotated automatically, there is no need to manually rotate the display device 20 by touching it. This allows the user to view the display on the display device 20 whether the sun visor 1 is placed on the windshield 4 side or the interior roof 5 side.

[0074] [Fifth Modification of First Embodiment] A sun visor 1 according to a fifth modification of the first embodiment will be described. In this modification, an example in which the sun visor 1 is provided with an input unit 70 to which an external operation input is input will be described.

[0075] Fig. 15 is a front and rear view of a sun visor 1 according to Modification 5 of Embodiment 1. Fig. 16 is a block diagram of the sun visor 1 according to Modification 5. Fig. 15(a) shows the sun visor 1 in the stored position, and Fig. 15(b) shows the sun visor 1 in the front position.

[0076] As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16 , the sun visor 1 of the fifth modification includes an input unit 70 to which an external operation input is input. The input unit 70 receives, for example, a contact input using a mechanical switch, a contact input using a resistive sensor, or a contact or non-contact input using a capacitance sensor. The input unit 70 may be a touch panel provided on the surface of the display device 20. The input unit 70 provided on one main surface 11 and the input unit 70 provided on the other main surface 12 are each connected to a control communication circuit 60. The control communication circuit 60 drives the rotation drive unit 65 to rotate the display device 20, for example, based on an input to the input unit 70. The input unit 70 may be used not only to rotate the display device 20 but also, for example, to change the display content of the display device 20 or to operate other in-vehicle devices.

[0077] The sun visor 1 of the fifth modified example also includes two input units 70. The two input units 70 are provided on both main surfaces (one main surface 11 and the other main surface 12) of the main body 10, respectively. With this configuration, operation inputs to the display device 20 can be performed regardless of whether the sun visor 1 is disposed on the windshield 4 side or the interior roof 5 side. The input units 70 are not limited to being provided on both main surfaces of the main body 10, and may be provided on either one of the two main surfaces.

[0078] [Sixth Modification of First Embodiment] A sun visor 1 according to a sixth modification of the first embodiment will be described. In this modification, an example in which an imaging device 80 is provided in the sun visor 1 will be described.

[0079] Fig. 17 is a front view of a sun visor 1 according to a sixth modification of the first embodiment. Fig. 18 is a diagram showing another display device 86 and the like provided in the rear seat of the vehicle 2. Fig. 19 is a block diagram of the sun visor 1 according to the sixth modification. In addition to the sun visor 1, Fig. 19 also shows another display device 86 and another imaging device 85.

[0080] 19, the sun visor 1 of the sixth modification includes an imaging device 80 communicatively connected to the control communication circuit 60. The imaging device 80 is, for example, an RGB / IR camera capable of detecting both visible light and infrared light.

[0081] As shown in Fig. 17, the imaging device 80 is provided on one main surface 11 of the main body 10 and captures an image of the front seat side of the vehicle 2. If multiple imaging devices 80 can be attached, the imaging device 80 may be provided on each of the one main surface 11 and the other main surface 12 of the main body 10. The imaging device 80 outputs the captured image of the front seat to another display device 86 provided in the rear seat. As shown in Fig. 18, the other display device 86 displays the image captured by the imaging device 80.

[0082] 18, another imaging device 85 is provided on the rear seat side. The other imaging device 85 outputs an image of the rear seat that it has captured to the display device 20. The display device 20 displays an image of the rear seat side of the vehicle 2.

[0083] The sun visor 1 of this modification 5 allows the front seat passengers to see images captured on the rear seat side, regardless of whether the sun visor 1 is positioned on the windshield side or the interior roof side.

[0084] (Embodiment 2) [Sun visor configuration] The configuration of a sun visor 1A according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 20 to Fig. 23. In the second embodiment, an example in which a display device 20 is configured by a display unit 30 and an outer peripheral frame 40 will be described.

[0085] Fig. 20 is a diagram showing a sun visor 1A according to embodiment 2. Fig. 21 is a diagram showing a state in which the display unit 30 of the sun visor 1A is rotated.

[0086] Fig. 20(a) shows the sun visor 1A as viewed from the front, and Fig. 20(b) shows the sun visor 1A as viewed from the line XXb-XXb shown in Fig. 20. Fig. 21(a) shows the sun visor 1A as viewed from the front, and Fig. 21(b) shows the sun visor 1A as viewed from the line XXIb-XXIb shown in Fig. 21. Hatching of cross sections of the display unit 30 is omitted in Fig. 20(b) and Fig. 21(b). Similarly, hatching of cross sections of the display unit 30 may be omitted hereinafter.

[0087] 20 and 21 includes a main body 10 having an opening 14, and a display device 20 disposed in the opening 14. The display device 20 includes a plate-shaped display unit 30 and an outer peripheral frame 40 surrounding the outer periphery of the display unit 30. The display unit 30 is rotatably supported by the outer peripheral frame 40, and the outer peripheral frame 40 is rotatably connected to the main body 10.

[0088] The outer peripheral frame 40 has a frame shape. The outer peripheral frame 40 has a frame front surface 41 which is the surface on the same side as the display surface 21, and a frame back surface 42 which faces away from the frame front surface 41.

[0089] The peripheral frame 40 has a rectangular frame shape that is smaller than the opening 14 of the main body 10 when viewed from a frame front surface 41, that is, from a direction perpendicular to the display surface 21.

[0090] The outer peripheral frame 40 has an opening formed by four inner surfaces. The four inner surfaces are a first inner surface 40a1 and a second inner surface 40b1 corresponding to the short sides of the rectangle, and a third inner surface 40c1 and a fourth inner surface 40d1 corresponding to the long sides of the rectangle. The first inner surface 40a1 and the second inner surface 40b1 face each other, and the third inner surface 40c1 and the fourth inner surface 40d1 face each other. The third inner surface 40c1 and the fourth inner surface 40d1 are perpendicular to the first inner surface 40a1 and the frame front surface 41, respectively.

[0091] The outer peripheral frame 40 has four outer surfaces on its periphery. The four outer surfaces are composed of a first outer surface 40a2 and a second outer surface 40b2 corresponding to the short sides of the rectangle, and a third outer surface 40c2 and a fourth outer surface 40d2 corresponding to the long sides of the rectangle. The first outer surface 40a2 and the second outer surface 40b2 are back-to-back with each other, and the third outer surface 40c2 and the fourth outer surface 40d2 are back-to-back with each other. The third outer surface 40c2 and the fourth outer surface 40d2 are perpendicular to the first outer surface 40a2 and the frame front surface 41, respectively.

[0092] The display unit 30 has a flat plate shape, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped shape. The display unit 30 has a display surface 31 located on the display side of the display unit 30 and a back surface 32 facing away from the display surface 31.

[0093] When viewed perpendicularly to the display surface 31, the display unit 30 has a rectangular shape that is smaller than the opening of the outer frame 40. In other words, the display unit 30 has four display side surfaces. The four display side surfaces are composed of a first display side surface 30a and a second display side surface 30b that correspond to the short sides of the rectangle, and a third display side surface 30c and a fourth display side surface 30d that correspond to the long sides of the rectangle. The first display side surface 30a and the second display side surface 30b are back-to-back with each other, and the third display side surface 30c and the fourth display side surface 30d are back-to-back with each other. The third display side surface 30c and the fourth display side surface 30d are perpendicular to the first display side surface 30a and the display surface 31, respectively.

[0094] Fig. 22 is a diagram showing a cross section of the vicinity of the side surface of the sun visor 1A. Fig. 22 shows a cross section of the vicinity of the third display unit side surface 30c. The vicinity of the fourth display unit side surface 30d has a similar cross section.

[0095] 22, when the display unit 30 and the outer peripheral frame 40 are viewed in cross section perpendicular to the first rotation axis 38, which is the rotation axis of the display unit 30, the third display unit side surface 30c (and the fourth display unit side surface 30d) has a convex curved surface. Also, the inner surface 40c1 (and 40d1) of the outer peripheral frame 40 facing the third display unit side surface 30c (and the fourth display unit side surface 30d) has a concave curved surface.

[0096] The third outer surface 40c2 (and the fourth outer surface 40d2) of the outer peripheral frame 40 has a convex curved surface. The opening side surface 14c (and the opening side surface 14d) facing the third outer surface 40c2 (and the fourth outer surface 40d2) has a concave curved surface.

[0097] As shown in FIG. 21 , the sun visor 1A of this embodiment also includes a light-shielding film 50 provided between the display unit 30 and the outer peripheral frame 40. The light-shielding film 50 is a film for blocking light leaking from between the display unit 30 and the outer peripheral frame 40. The light-shielding film 50 is provided so as to connect the outer periphery of the display unit 30 and the inner periphery of the outer peripheral frame 40. The light-shielding film 50 is formed of a light-blocking cloth, film, or resin sheet. The light-shielding film 50 is flexible and stretchable, and can be bent. The light-shielding film 50 may be a bellows-shaped film.

[0098] In the sun visor 1A of the second embodiment, the rotation angle of the display unit 30 is limited to a certain extent due to the presence of the light-shielding film 50. For example, the rotation angle of the display unit 30 is limited to a range of 60° or less. The configuration for limiting the rotation angle of the display unit 30 will be described in Modification 2.

[0099] Fig. 23 is a diagram showing the rotation shaft and bearing portion of the sun visor 1A. Although Fig. 23 shows the rotation shaft and bearing portion on the second display unit side surface 30b side, the rotation shaft and bearing portion on the first display unit side surface 30a side have the same configuration.

[0100] 23, the display unit 30 has a first rotation shaft 38 that protrudes from the display unit side surface 30b. The first rotation shaft 38 provided on the display unit side surface 30b protrudes perpendicularly to the display unit side surface 30b from the center of the display unit side surface 30b.

[0101] The outer peripheral frame 40 has a first bearing portion 48 that rotatably supports the display unit 30 via the first rotation shaft 38, and a second rotation shaft 49 that protrudes from the outer surface 40b2 of the outer peripheral frame 40. The first bearing portion 48 is provided on the inner surface 40b1. The second rotation shaft 49, which is provided on the outer surface 40b2 of the outer peripheral frame 40, protrudes from the center of the outer surface 40b2 of the outer peripheral frame 40 perpendicular to the outer surface 40b2.

[0102] The main body 10 has a second bearing 19 that rotatably supports the outer peripheral frame 40 via a second rotation shaft 49. The second bearing 19 is provided on the opening side surface 14b.

[0103] The first rotating shaft 38 and the second rotating shaft 49 are made of, for example, a metal material such as stainless steel. The first bearing portion 48 and the second bearing portion 19 are made of, for example, a resin material. The first rotating shaft 38, the first bearing portion 48, the second rotating shaft 49, and the second bearing portion 19 are positioned coaxially. The second bearing portion 19 may be, for example, a rolling bearing.

[0104] The first rotating shaft 38 is press-fitted into the first bearing portion 48, and the second rotating shaft 49 is press-fitted into the second bearing portion 19. For example, the display unit 30 is configured to rotate when a predetermined force is applied in a rotational direction about the first rotating shaft 38, and to stop rotating and stop at any rotational position when the predetermined force is no longer applied. For example, the outer peripheral frame 40 is configured to rotate when a predetermined force is applied in a rotational direction about the second rotating shaft 49, and to stop rotating and stop at any rotational position when the predetermined force is no longer applied.

[0105] In this manner, the display unit 30 is rotatable via the first bearing 48. The outer peripheral frame 40 is rotatable via the second bearing 19. The display unit 30 and the outer peripheral frame 40 in this example are manually rotated. For example, a user of the sun visor 1A can rotate the display unit 30 and the outer peripheral frame 40 between the stowed and front positions to place the sun visor 1A in the front position, so that the back surface 22 faces the windshield 4 and the display surface 21 faces the seat 3. The user can also rotate the display unit 30 and the outer peripheral frame 40 between the stowed and front positions to place the sun visor 1A in the stowed position, so that the back surface 22 faces the interior roof 5 and the display surface 21 faces the seat 3.

[0106] Furthermore, when the sun visor 1A is in the storage-front position, the user can rotate the display unit 30 and the outer peripheral frame 40 so that the display surface 21 faces the seat 3. By using the first rotation shaft 38 and the second rotation shaft 49 as a rotation drive unit, it is possible to automatically turn the display unit 20 upside down based on detection by a rotation angle sensor, or to adjust the angle of the display unit 20 by issuing an instruction from an input device disposed in a position different from the input unit 70 or the sun visor 1A.

[0107] As described above, the sun visor 1A of the second embodiment includes a main body 10 having an opening 14, and a display device 20 disposed in the opening 14. The display device 20 includes a plate-shaped display unit 30 and an outer peripheral frame 40 surrounding the outer periphery of the display unit 30. The display unit 30 is rotatably supported by the outer peripheral frame 40, and the outer peripheral frame 40 is rotatably connected to the main body 10.

[0108] This sun visor 1A allows the user to view the display on the display device 20 whether the sun visor 1A is placed on the windshield 4 side or the interior roof 5 side. Furthermore, since the light-shielding film 50 is provided between the display unit 30 and the outer peripheral frame 40, the display unit 30 can be adjusted to an angle that is easy to view, independently of the main body 10 and the outer peripheral frame 40, while suppressing light leakage between the display unit 30 and the outer peripheral frame 40.

[0109] In the above, an example has been shown in which the display unit 30 has the first rotation shaft 38, the outer peripheral frame 40 has the first bearing portion 48 and the second rotation shaft 49, and the main body unit 10 has the second bearing portion 19, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the main body unit 10 of the sun visor 1A may have a first rotation shaft that protrudes inward from the opening side surfaces 14a and 14b of the opening 14, the outer peripheral frame 40 may have a first bearing portion rotatable about the first rotation shaft and a second rotation shaft that protrudes inward from the inner surfaces 40a1 and 40b1 of the outer peripheral frame 40, and the display unit 30 may have a second bearing portion rotatable about the second rotation shaft.

[0110] [Modification 1 of Embodiment 2] A sun visor 1A according to Modification 1 of Embodiment 2 will be described. In this modification, a second rotation restricting portion 17 that restricts the rotation of the outer peripheral frame 40 is provided in the sun visor 1A.

[0111] Fig. 24 is a front view of a sun visor 1A according to Modification 1 of Embodiment 2. Fig. 25 is a view of the sun visor 1A as viewed from the line XXV-XXV shown in Fig. 24. Fig. 25(a) shows a state in which the rotation of the outer peripheral frame 40 is restricted, and Fig. 25(b) shows a state in which the rotation restriction of the outer peripheral frame 40 is released.

[0112] The main body 10 has a second rotation restricting portion 17 that restricts the rotation of the outer peripheral frame 40. The second rotation restricting portion 17 has a U-shaped cross section when viewed from the axial direction of the second rotating shaft 49. The second rotation restricting portion 17 is formed from, for example, an elastic resin material or a metal material.

[0113] The second rotation restricting portion 17 is movable along one main surface 11 and the other main surface 12 of the main body portion 10, and is also movable along a direction along the frame front surface 41 and frame back surface 42 of the peripheral frame 40. In other words, the second rotation restricting portion 17 is movable between a third position p3 where the frame front surface 41 and frame back surface 42 of the peripheral frame 40 are clamped, and a fourth position p4 where the frame front surface 41 and frame back surface 42 are not clamped.

[0114] At the third position p3, the second rotation restricting portion 17 clamps the one main surface 11 and the other main surface 12 of the main body portion 10, and also clamps the frame front surface 41 and the frame back surface 42 of the outer peripheral frame 40. By clamping the frame front surface 41 and the frame back surface 42 of the outer peripheral frame 40 with the second rotation restricting portion 17 in this way, rotation of the outer peripheral frame 40 is restricted.

[0115] Further, the second rotation restricting portion 17 is in contact with one of the main surfaces 11 of the main body portion 10 at the fourth position p4. and the other main surface 12, but does not clamp the frame front surface 41 and the frame back surface 42 of the outer peripheral frame 40. In this way, the second rotation restricting portion 17 does not clamp the frame front surface 41 and the frame back surface 42 of the outer peripheral frame 40, thereby allowing the outer peripheral frame 40 to rotate.

[0116] In this first modified example, the sun visor 1A has a second rotation restricting portion 17 that restricts the rotation of the outer peripheral frame 40. This reliably restricts the rotation of the outer peripheral frame 40. This prevents the outer peripheral frame 40 from rattling while allowing the outer peripheral frame 40 and the display unit 30 to rotate as needed. This allows the user to view the display on the display device 20 regardless of whether the sun visor 1A is placed on the windshield 4 side or the interior roof 5 side.

[0117] [Modification 2 of Embodiment 2] A sun visor 1A according to Modification 2 of Embodiment 2 will be described. In this modification, an example will be described in which a rotation stopper 46 for preventing the display unit 30 from rotating more than necessary is provided on the outer peripheral frame 40.

[0118] Fig. 26 is a view of the first rotation shaft 38 and the rotation stop portion 46 of the sun visor 1A according to Modification 2 of Embodiment 2, viewed from the axial direction. Fig. 27 is a view of the first rotation shaft 38 and the rotation stop portion 46 of the sun visor 1A according to Modification 2, viewed from a direction perpendicular to the axial direction.

[0119] 26 and 27, the first rotating shaft 38 of the display unit 30 has a protrusion 38a that protrudes in the radial direction of the first rotating shaft 38. When viewed from the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 38 as shown in FIG. 26, the outer peripheral frame 40 has two rotation stop portions 46 that are spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the first bearing portion 48 of the outer peripheral frame 40.

[0120] In this second modification, the first rotating shaft 38 has a protrusion 38a, and the outer peripheral frame 40 has two rotation stop portions 46. This configuration prevents the display unit 30 from rotating more than necessary relative to the outer peripheral frame 40. This prevents the light-shielding film 50 from breaking, and prevents light from leaking between the display unit 30 and the outer peripheral frame 40. This allows the user to view the display on the display device 20 even when the sun visor 1A is positioned between the windshield 4 and the interior roof 5.

[0121] [Third Modification of Second Embodiment] A sun visor 1A according to Modification 3 of Embodiment 2 will be described. In this modification, an example will be described in which an engagement member 47 for rotating the display unit 30 and the outer peripheral frame 40 together is provided on the outer peripheral frame 40.

[0122] FIG. 28 is a cross-sectional view of a portion of a sun visor 1A according to a third modification of the second embodiment.

[0123] As shown in FIG. 28 , in the sun visor 1A of the third modification, a recess 37 is provided on the third display unit side surface 30c of the display unit 30, and an engagement member 47 is provided on the inner surface 40c1 of the outer peripheral frame 40. The engagement member 47 has a protrusion 47a that engages with the recess 37. The engagement member 47 is an elastic member such as a leaf spring. The protrusion 47a of the engagement member 47 engages with the recess 37 of the display unit side surface 30c, allowing the display unit 30 and the outer peripheral frame 40 to rotate together. When the display unit 30 and the outer peripheral frame 40 are not to be rotated together, the engagement can be released by simply removing the protrusion 47a from the recess 37. Furthermore, when the rotation of the outer peripheral frame 40 is restricted by the second rotation restricting portion 17 described in the first modification of the second embodiment, the engagement can be released easily by removing the protrusion 47a from the recess 37. Furthermore, if the outer frame 40 can be rotated relative to the main body 10 with a force smaller than that required to remove the convex portion 47a from the concave portion 37, the display portion 30 and the outer frame 40 can be easily rotated together.

[0124] Although the above example shows the case where the recess 37 is provided in the display unit 30 and the engaging member 47 is provided in the outer peripheral frame 40, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the recess may be provided in the outer peripheral frame 40 and the engaging member may be provided in the display unit 30. That is, the sun visor 1A may have a recess provided on a side surface of either the display unit 30 or the outer peripheral frame 40, and an engaging member having a protrusion that engages with the recess may be provided on a side surface of the display unit 30 or the outer peripheral frame 40 that does not have the recess.

[0125] (Embodiment 3) A description will be given of the configuration of a sun visor 1B according to embodiment 3. In embodiment 3, an example in which the sun visor 1B has a plurality of rotation shafts 91, 92, and 93 will be described.

[0126] Fig. 29 is a diagram showing a state in which the sun visor 1B according to the third embodiment is positioned in the storage position. Fig. 30 is a diagram showing a state in which the sun visor 1B is positioned in a position between the storage position and the front position. Fig. 31 is a diagram showing a state in which the sun visor 1B is positioned in the front position. Note that Figs. 29(a) and (b), Fig. 30(a), and Figs. 31(a) and (b) show views of the sun visor 1B as viewed from the side of the vehicle 2. Figs. 29(c), 30(b), and 31(c) show views of the sun visor 1B as viewed from the front.

[0127] 29 to 31, the main body 10 has multiple sets of rotation shafts 91, 92, and 93 that enable the display device 20 to rotate. The multiple sets of rotation shafts 91 to 93 are arranged parallel to each other along a direction perpendicular to the side surfaces 20a and 20b of the display device 20, and are insertable into and removable from the display device 20. The display device 20 is provided with bearings corresponding to the rotation shafts 91 to 93, respectively.

[0128] As shown in Figure 29, when the sun visor 1B is in the storage position, the rotation axis 91 located on the L axis is inserted into the inside of the display device 20 from the sides 20a and 20b of the display device 20, making the display device 20 rotatable around the rotation axis 91.

[0129] As shown in Figure 30, when the sun visor 1B is positioned in a position between the storage and front positions, the rotation axis 92 located on the M axis is inserted into the interior of the display device 20 from the sides 20a and 20b of the display device 20, allowing the display device 20 to rotate around the rotation axis 92.

[0130] As shown in Figure 31, when the sun visor 1B is positioned at the front position, the rotation axis 93 located on the N axis is inserted into the inside of the display device 20 from the sides 20a and 20b of the display device 20, making the display device 20 rotatable around the rotation axis 92.

[0131] In this way, the sun visor 1B has multiple sets of rotation shafts 91, 92, and 93 that allow the display device 20 to rotate, so that even when the sun visor 1B is in the storage position or the front position, the display device 20 can be rotated without interfering with the interior roof 5 or the windshield 4. For example, when adjusting the display device 20 to an angle that is easy to view, the display device 20 can be rotated without interfering with the windshield 4 or the interior roof 5.

[0132] (Effects, etc.) The sun visor 1 of this embodiment is a sun visor provided in a vehicle 2, and includes a main body 10 having an opening 14, and a display device 20 disposed in the opening 14. The display device 20 is supported rotatably relative to the main body 10.

[0133] In this way, the display device 20 is supported rotatably relative to the main body 10, so that the user can see the display on the display device 20 regardless of whether the sun visor 1 is positioned on the windshield 4 side or the interior roof 5 side.

[0134] The display device 20 is plate-shaped and has a rotation shaft 28 that protrudes from the side surface of the display device 20. The main body 10 may have a bearing 18 that rotatably supports the rotation shaft 28.

[0135] In this way, the display device 20 has the rotation shaft 28, and the main body 10 has the bearing portion 18, so that the display device 20 can be reliably rotated. This allows the user to view the display on the display device 20 regardless of whether the sun visor 1 is placed on the windshield 4 side or the interior roof 5 side.

[0136] Furthermore, the main body 10 may have a rotation shaft that protrudes inward from the side surface of the opening 14, and the display device 20 may have a bearing that is rotatable about the rotation shaft.

[0137] In this way, the main body 10 has a rotation shaft and the display device 20 has a bearing, so that the display device 20 can be reliably rotated. This allows the user to view the display on the display device 20 regardless of whether the sun visor 1 is placed on the windshield 4 side or the interior roof 5 side.

[0138] The rotating shaft 28 may also be press-fitted into the bearing portion 18 .

[0139] In this way, the rotation shaft 28 is press-fitted into the bearing portion 18, so that the display device 20 can be stopped at any rotation position. This allows the user to see the display on the display device 20 even when the sun visor 1 is positioned between the windshield 4 and the interior roof 5.

[0140] The display device 20 also has a first side surface 20a and a second side surface 20b facing away from the first side surface 20a, a display surface 21 located on the display side of the display device 20, a third side surface 20c perpendicular to the first side surface 20a and the display surface 21, and a fourth side surface 20d facing away from the third side surface 20c. When the sun visor 1 is viewed in cross section perpendicular to the rotation axis 28, the third side surface 20c and the fourth side surface 20d may have convex curved surfaces, and the opening side surfaces 14c and 14d of the opening 14 facing the third side surface 20c and the fourth side surface 20d may each have a concave curved surface.

[0141] In this way, the third side surface 20c and the fourth side surface 20d have convex curved surfaces, and the opening side surfaces 14c and 14d each have concave curved surfaces, so that the display device 20 can be smoothly inserted and removed from the opening 14 of the main body 10. This allows the user to view the display on the display device 20 regardless of whether the sun visor 1 is positioned on the windshield 4 side or the interior roof 5 side.

[0142] The display device 20 also has a first side surface 20a and a second side surface 20b facing away from the first side surface 20a, a display surface 21 located on the display side of the display device 20, a third side surface 20c perpendicular to the first side surface 20a and the display surface 21, and a fourth side surface 20d facing away from the third side surface 20c. The display device 20 also has a first protrusion 26 protruding from the third side surface 20c at one end 23 of both ends in the thickness direction of the display device 20, and a second protrusion 27 protruding from the fourth side surface 20d at the one end 23. The main body 10 has a stopper 15 at a central portion 13 in the thickness direction of the main body 10, protruding inward from an opening side surface (14c or 14d) of the opening 14 that faces either the third side surface 20c or the fourth side surface 20d of the display device 20. When the display device 20 rotates in one direction around the rotation axis 28, either the first protrusion 26 or the second protrusion 27 may come into contact with the stopper 15.

[0143] In this way, when the display device 20 rotates in one direction around the rotation axis 28, either the first protrusion 26 or the second protrusion 27 comes into contact with the stopper 15, thereby preventing the display device 20 from rotating too much relative to the main body 10. This allows the user to view the display on the display device 20 regardless of whether the sun visor 1 is positioned on the windshield 4 side or the interior roof 5 side.

[0144] The display device 20 also has a display surface 21 located on the display side of the display device 20, and a back surface 22 facing away from the display surface 21. The main body 10 includes a first rotation restricting unit 16 that restricts the rotation of the display device 20. The first rotation restricting unit 16 may be movable between a first position p1 where the display surface 21 and the back surface 22 are sandwiched, and a second position p2 where the display surface 21 and the back surface 22 are not sandwiched.

[0145] In this way, the sun visor 1 has the first rotation restricting portion 16 that restricts the rotation of the display device 20, thereby reliably restricting the rotation of the display device 20. This prevents the display device 20 from rattling while allowing the display device 20 to rotate as needed. This allows the user to view the display on the display device 20 whether the sun visor 1 is placed on the windshield 4 side or the interior roof 5 side.

[0146] The display device 20 also includes a plate-shaped display unit 30 and an outer peripheral frame 40 that surrounds the outer periphery of the display unit 30. The display unit 30 is rotatably supported by the outer peripheral frame 40, and the outer peripheral frame 40 is rotatably connected to the main body 10. The display device 20 may further include a light-shielding film 50 provided between the display unit 30 and the outer peripheral frame 40.

[0147] This makes it possible to prevent light from leaking between the display unit 30 and the outer peripheral frame 40 when the display unit 30 rotates relative to the outer peripheral frame 40. This makes it possible for the user to view the display on the display device 20 even when the sun visor 1A is disposed between the windshield 4 and the interior roof 5.

[0148] The display unit 30 also has a first rotation shaft 38 that protrudes from display unit side surfaces 30a, 30b of the display unit 30. The outer peripheral frame 40 has a first bearing portion 48 that rotatably supports the display unit 30 via the first rotation shaft 38, and a second rotation shaft 49 that protrudes from outer surfaces 40a2, 40b2 of the outer peripheral frame 40. The main body 10 may have a second bearing portion 19 that rotatably supports the outer peripheral frame 40 via the second rotation shaft 49.

[0149] This configuration ensures that the display unit 30 and the outer peripheral frame 40 can be rotated. This allows the user to view the display on the display device 20 regardless of whether the sun visor 1A is positioned on the windshield 4 side or the interior roof 5 side.

[0150] Furthermore, the main body 10 has a first rotation shaft that protrudes inward from the side surface of the opening 14. The outer peripheral frame 40 has a first bearing portion that is rotatable about the first rotation shaft, and a second rotation shaft that protrudes inward from the inner surface of the outer peripheral frame 40. The display unit 30 may have a second bearing portion that is rotatable about the second rotation shaft.

[0151] This configuration ensures that the display unit 30 and the outer peripheral frame 40 can be rotated. This allows the user to view the display on the display device 20 regardless of whether the sun visor 1A is positioned on the windshield 4 side or the interior roof 5 side.

[0152] Furthermore, the first rotation shaft 38 and the second rotation shaft 49 may be positioned coaxially.

[0153] This configuration allows the display unit 30 and the outer peripheral frame 40 to be rotated with precision, thereby enabling the user to view the display on the display device 20 regardless of whether the sun visor 1A is positioned on the windshield 4 side or the interior roof 5 side.

[0154] Furthermore, the first rotating shaft 38 has a protrusion 38a that protrudes in the radial direction of the first rotating shaft 38. The outer peripheral frame 40 may have two rotation stopping portions 46 that are spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the first bearing portion 48 when viewed in the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 38.

[0155] This configuration can prevent the display unit 30 from rotating more than necessary relative to the outer peripheral frame 40. This can prevent the light-shielding film 50 from breaking, and can prevent light from leaking between the display unit 30 and the outer peripheral frame 40. This allows the user to view the display on the display device 20 even when the sun visor 1A is placed between the windshield 4 and the interior roof 5.

[0156] The display unit 30 also has a first display unit side surface 30a, which are side surfaces of the display unit 30, a second display unit side surface 30b facing away from the first display unit side surface 30a, a display surface 31 located on the display side of the display unit 30, a third display unit side surface 30c perpendicular to the first display unit side surface 30a and the display surface 31, and a fourth display unit side surface 30d facing away from the third display unit side surface 30c. When the display device 20 is viewed in cross section perpendicular to the first rotation axis 38, the third display unit side surface 30c and the fourth display unit side surface 30d may have convex curved surfaces, and inner surfaces 40c1 and 40d1 of the outer peripheral frame facing the third display unit side surface 30c and the fourth display unit side surface 30d may have concave curved surfaces.

[0157] This configuration allows the display unit 30 to be smoothly inserted into and removed from the outer peripheral frame 40. This allows the user to view the display on the display device 20 regardless of whether the sun visor 1A is placed on the windshield 4 side or the interior roof 5 side.

[0158] In addition, a recess may be provided on the side of either the display unit 30 or the outer frame 40, and an engaging member 47 having a protrusion 47a that engages with the recess may be provided on the side of the display unit 30 or the outer frame 40 that does not have a recess.

[0159] This configuration allows the display unit 30 and the outer peripheral frame 40 to rotate together, thereby enabling the user to view the display on the display device 20 regardless of whether the sun visor 1A is positioned on the windshield 4 side or the interior roof 5 side.

[0160] Furthermore, the outer peripheral frame 40 has a frame front surface 41 located on the display side of the display device 20, and a frame back surface 42 facing away from the frame front surface 41. The main body 10 is provided with a second rotation restricting unit 17 that restricts the rotation of the outer peripheral frame 40. The second rotation restricting unit 17 may be movable between a third position p3 where the frame front surface 41 and the frame back surface 42 are clamped, and a fourth position p4 where the frame front surface 41 and the frame back surface 42 are not clamped.

[0161] In this way, the sun visor 1A has the second rotation restricting portion 17 that restricts the rotation of the outer peripheral frame 40, thereby reliably restricting the rotation of the outer peripheral frame 40. This prevents the outer peripheral frame 40 from rattling while allowing the outer peripheral frame 40 and the display unit 30 to rotate as needed. This allows the user to view the display on the display device 20 regardless of whether the sun visor 1A is placed on the windshield 4 side or the interior roof 5 side.

[0162] The sun visor 1 may further include a rotation drive unit 65 that rotates the display device 20, and the rotation drive unit 65 may rotate the display device 20 when the sun visor 1 exceeds a predetermined angle.

[0163] According to this configuration, the display device 20 can be automatically rotated in accordance with the manual rotation of the sun visor 1. This allows the user to view the display on the display device 20 regardless of whether the sun visor 1 is placed on the windshield 4 side or the interior roof 5 side.

[0164] The sun visor 1 may further include an input unit 70 to which an operation input is input from the outside.

[0165] According to this configuration, the sun visor 1 can be operated from the outside.

[0166] The input unit 70 may be provided on both main surfaces of the main body 10 (one main surface 11 and the other main surface 12) or on one of the two main surfaces.

[0167] According to this configuration, operation input to the display device 20 can be performed regardless of whether the sun visor 1 is disposed on the windshield 4 side or the interior roof 5 side.

[0168] The input unit 70 may also be provided on the surface of the display device 20.

[0169] According to this configuration, operation input can be performed on the surface of the display device 20.

[0170] The sun visor 1 may further include a rotation drive unit 65 that rotates the display device 20 based on an input to the input unit 70.

[0171] According to this configuration, the display device 20 can be easily rotated using the rotation drive unit 65 based on an input to the input unit 70.

[0172] Furthermore, the display device 20 may display an image of the rear seat side of the vehicle 2.

[0173] According to this configuration, the image captured on the rear seat side can be seen by the front seat passengers regardless of whether the sun visor 1 is disposed on the windshield side or on the interior roof side.

[0174] The sun visor 1 may further include an imaging device 80 for capturing an image of the front seat side of the vehicle 2.

[0175] This allows an image captured in the front seat to be displayed on another display device 86 in the rear seat.

[0176] In addition, the main body 10 has multiple sets of rotation axes 91 to 93 that allow the display device 20 to rotate, and each of the multiple sets of rotation axes 91 to 93 is arranged parallel to each other along a direction perpendicular to the side surfaces 20a, 20b of the display device 20, and may be insertable and detachable from the display device 20.

[0177] In this way, the sun visor 1B has multiple sets of rotation shafts 91-93 that allow the display device 20 to rotate, so that the display device 20 can be rotated even when the sun visor 1B is positioned in the storage position or the front position.
