Abstract

A headup display device includes a driving mirror configured to reflect a display light irradiated from an indicator to guide the reflected display light to a windshield of a vehicle. The driving mirror includes a base plate fixed to a bottom surface of a casing, a pair of opposite support plates which are upright on the base plate, a holder pivotally supported by the opposite support plates, a reflective mirror held by the holder, a driving motor configured to pivot the holder to change an angle of the reflective mirror, and a positioning projection provided on the support plate and protruding in a mounting direction of the base plate to the bottom surface of the casing. A holding recessed portion is formed on the casing to allow an insertion of the positioning projection therein and hold the positioning projection at a predetermined position.

Claims (15)

1. A headup display device, comprising:

a casing having a bottom surface; and

a driving mirror configured to reflect a display light irradiated from an indicator to guide the reflected display light to a windshield of a vehicle, the driving mirror including:

a base plate fixed to the bottom surface of the casing;

a pair of opposite support plates which are upright on the base plate;

a holder pivotally supported by the pair of opposite support plates;

a reflective mirror held by the holder;

a driving motor configured to pivot the holder to change an angle of the reflective mirror; and

a positioning projection provided on each of the pair of support plates near a support portion of the holder and protruding in a mounting direction of the base plate to the bottom surface of the casing, wherein

a holding recessed portion is formed on the casing to allow an insertion of the positioning projection therein and hold the positioning projection at a predetermined position.

2. The headup display device according to claim 1 , wherein

a bottom surface of the holding recessed portion forms a deformation suppressing wall which is disposed against the positioning projection without a gap ahead of an acting direction of torque, which is generated when the holder is pivoted by the driving motor, acting on the pair of support plates, to suppress deformation of the pair of support plates when the holder is pivoted.

3. The headup display device according to claim 1 , wherein

a positioning portion having the positioning projection provided on one of the pair of support plates is formed perpendicularly from a surface of the one of the pair of support plates, and

a positioning portion having the positioning projection provided on the other of the pair of support plates is formed parallel from a surface of the other of the pair of support plates.
