Abstract

A vehicle display device includes: an image display device; a hood part; a combiner disposed on an eye point side with respect to an upper display region; a housing part that houses a lower display region and has an opening; a reflection member that is disposed inside the housing part, is opposed to the combiner via the opening, and reflects display light of the lower display region toward the combiner; a motor that adjusts a position of a virtual image based on an image in the lower display region in an image vertical direction by rotating the reflection member; and a control unit that controls the image display device and the motor. The control unit is configured to be able to adjust, to a predetermined position determined in advance, a relative position of a virtual image with respect to the upper display region when viewed from the eye point.

Claims (9)

1 . A vehicle display device, comprising:

an image display device that includes an upper display region and a lower display region for displaying an image, and is disposed so that the upper display region is opposed to an eye point in a vehicle;

a hood part that covers the upper display region from a vehicle-front side;

a combiner disposed on the eye point side with respect to the upper display region;

a housing part that houses the lower display region and has an opening facing upward, the opening being positioned on the eye point side with respect to the image display device;

a reflection member that is disposed inside the housing part, is opposed to the combiner via the opening, and reflects display light of the lower display region toward the combiner;

a motor that adjusts a position of a virtual image based on an image in the lower display region in an image vertical direction by rotating the reflection member; and

a control unit that controls the image display device and the motor, wherein

the control unit positions the reflection member so that a line of sight in a case of viewing the virtual image from the eye point at a first position in a vehicle upper and lower direction intersects with a line of sight in a case of viewing the virtual image from the eye point at a second position in the vehicle upper and lower direction at a position between the combiner and the upper display region.
