Image display device
A substrate housing portion stores a circuit substrate that outputs an image signal. The optical unit generates and projects an image based on the image signal output from the circuit substrate. The image is projected onto a combiner. The optical unit has an optical unit main body that includes a light source and an image display element, and a projection unit that is attached to the optical unit main body and that determines a projection direction. The projection unit is provided with an intermediate image screen that images an intermediate image and is freely removed from or installed in the optical unit main body.
1. An image display device comprising:
a substrate housing portion that stores a circuit substrate that outputs an image signal of an image to be displayed;
an optical unit that is provided at one end of the substrate housing portion and that generates and projects an image as image display light based on the image signal output from the circuit substrate; and
a combiner that is provided at one end of the optical unit and on which the image display light is projected,
wherein the optical unit has:
an optical unit main body that includes a light source and an image display element and is provided with a first body surface and a second body surface opposite to each other; and
a projection unit that is attached to the optical unit main body, that is provided with an intermediate image screen that images an intermediate image, and that determines a projection direction, and
wherein the projection unit is freely removed from or installed in the optical unit main body, and a direction of attachment is changeable such that the image display light from the projection unit is projected below the optical unit main body from a projection port provided in the projection unit, regardless of whether the first body surface or the second body surface faces downward, and
the optical unit including the projection unit and the combiner are rotatable in an integral manner with respect to the substrate housing portion regardless of whether the first body surface or the second body surface faces downward, and wherein the optical unit projects the image display light based on the image signal in which a direction of an image is changed by 180 degrees depending on whether the optical unit is attached so that the first body surface faces downward or the second body surface faces downward.
2. The image display device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the projection unit further comprises a projection mirror that reflects the image display light projected from the optical unit, and the projection mirror reflects the image display light so as to project the image display light below the optical unit main body.
3. The image display device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the projection unit further comprises a three-layer portion provided with a first transparent plate, the intermediate image screen, and a second transparent plate, and
wherein the three-layer portion is fixed to the projection unit at least one part or more on a side surface of the three-layer portion and is detachable on a side toward the projection port.
4. The image display device according to claim 3 ,
wherein the projection unit further comprises a screen mask portion that holds the three-layer portion in such a manner that the three-layer portion can be removed from and installed in the projection unit.
