Abstract

A display device for a motor vehicle includes: a projection module for generating an image for a projection in a direction of gaze of a user of the display device along an optical path; a reflection and/or display element; a support element for the reflection and/or display element; and a holding element, comprising a protruding part relative to the reflection and/or display element. The reflection and/or display element is held between the support element and the holding element and in a fixed position relative to the support element.

Claims (16)

1. A display device for a motor vehicle, comprising:

a projection module for generating an image for a projection in a direction of gaze of a user of the display device along an optical path;

a reflection and/or display element;

a support element for the reflection and/or display element; and

a holding element, comprising a protruding part relative to the reflection and/or display element;

wherein the reflection and/or display element is held between the support element and the holding element and in a fixed position relative to the support element;

wherein the reflection and/or display element and the support element are linked via first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth surfaces, the first, second and third surfaces being curved surfaces having a first radius, and the fourth, fifth and sixth surfaces being flat or curved surfaces having a second radius, the second radius corresponding to at least twice the first radius;

wherein the reflection and/or display element is pressed against the support element at at least three different points using the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth surfaces.

2. The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the reflection and/or display element and the holding element are linked by seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth surfaces, the seventh, eighth and ninth surfaces being curved surfaces having a third radius, and the tenth, eleventh and twelfth surfaces being flat or curved surfaces having a fourth radius, the fourth radius corresponding to at least twice the third radius.

3. The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the holding element is fixed to the support element such that surfaces of the support element and of the holding element bear on corresponding surfaces of the reflection and/or display element.

4. The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the protruding part relative to the reflection and/or display element comprises a curvature.

5. The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the reflection and/or display element comprises a main extension plane and two opposing sides, and the reflection and/or display element comprises at least one pair of surfaces on each side at corresponding locations.

6. The display device as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the reflection and/or display element and the holding element are linked by seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth surfaces, the seventh, eighth and ninth surfaces being curved surfaces having a third radius, and the tenth, eleventh and twelfth surfaces being flat or curved surfaces having a fourth radius, the fourth radius corresponding to at least twice the third radius; and

wherein the first, second and third surfaces, and the tenth, eleventh and twelfth surfaces are surfaces of the reflection and/or display element, the fourth, fifth and sixth surfaces are surfaces of the support element, and the seventh, eighth and ninth surfaces are surfaces of the holding element.

7. The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the reflection and/or display element is configured to be moved between a position of rest and at least one display position via the support element.
