Onboard image display device for vehicle
An onboard image display device for a vehicle includes a projector that projects an image including information conveyed to a passenger, the information including a state of a vehicle and a warning, the projected image being displayed on a window glass of the vehicle. The projector is provided in a space which is formed by a plate-shaped member in the vehicle. For example, the projector is mounted in an inner panel reinforcement of an inner panel of a side door. That is, the projector is mounted within a space which is originally provided by the inner panel reinforcement to ensure reinforcement function. Image light from the projector is projected on the window glass of the side door.
