Abstract

A vehicular display device includes an image display device, a circuit board, a casing, and fastening members. The image display device includes a plurality of boss parts having a proximal portion having a contact surface capable of being brought into contact with the circuit board on a distal end in a first direction; an insertion portion formed in a projecting manner from the distal end of the proximal portion and being capable of being inserted into a board fastening hole of the circuit board and a casing fastening hole of the casing along the first direction; and a threadedly engaging hole formed from the distal end of the insertion portion in the first direction toward the proximal portion along the first direction, the fastening members being capable of being threadedly engaged with the threadedly engaging hole.

Claims (25)

1. A vehicular display device comprising:

an image display device configured to display an image with respect to vehicle information, and including a plurality of boss parts;

a circuit board arranged to face the image display device along a first direction, configured to control the image display device, and having a plurality of board fastening holes formed at respective positions opposed to the boss parts along the first direction in a penetrating manner along the first direction;

a casing arranged to face the circuit board along the first direction on a side opposite to the image display device with respect to the circuit board, configured to house the image display device and the circuit board, and having a plurality of casing fastening holes formed at respective positions opposed to the boss parts along the first direction in a penetrating manner along the first direction; and

a plurality of fastening members configured to fasten and fix the image display device, the circuit board, and the casing to each other by way of the boss parts, the board fastening holes, and the casing fastening holes, wherein

the boss parts include:

a proximal portion formed in a projecting manner along the first direction, and having a contact surface capable of being brought into contact with the circuit board on a distal end in the first direction;

an insertion portion formed in a projecting manner along the first direction from the distal end of the proximal portion in the first direction and being capable of being inserted into the board fastening holes and the casing fastening holes along the first direction; and

a threadedly engaging hole formed from the distal end of the insertion portion in the first direction toward the proximal portion along the first direction, the fastening members being capable of being threadedly engaged with the threadedly engaging hole,

the boss parts fix the circuit board and the casing sandwiched between the fastening members threadedly engaged with the threadedly engaging hole along the first direction and the contact surface,

the casing, the fastening members, and the boss parts are composed of a metal material having conductivity, and

the image display device, the circuit board, and the casing are electrically conductive via the boss parts and the fastening members, and grounded via the circuit board.

2. A vehicular display device comprising:

an image display device configured to display an image with respect to vehicle information, and including a plurality of boss parts;

a circuit board arranged to face the image display device along a first direction, configured to control the image display device, and having a plurality of board fastening holes formed at respective positions opposed to the boss parts along the first direction in a penetrating manner along the first direction;

a casing arranged to face the circuit board along the first direction on a side opposite to the image display device with respect to the circuit board, configured to house the image display device and the circuit board, and having a plurality of casing fastening holes formed at respective positions opposed to the boss parts along the first direction in a penetrating manner along the first direction; and

a plurality of fastening members configured to fasten and fix the image display device, the circuit board, and the casing to each other by way of the boss parts, the board fastening holes, and the casing fastening holes, wherein

the boss parts include:

a proximal portion formed in a projecting manner along the first direction, and having a contact surface capable of being brought into contact with the circuit board on a distal end in the first direction;

an insertion portion formed in a projecting manner along the first direction from the distal end of the proximal portion in the first direction and being capable of being inserted into the board fastening holes and the casing fastening holes along the first direction; and

a threadedly engaging hole formed from the distal end of the insertion portion in the first direction toward the proximal portion along the first direction, the fastening members being capable of being threadedly engaged with the threadedly engaging hole,

the boss parts fix the circuit board and the casing sandwiched between the fastening members threadedly engaged with the threadedly engaging hole along the first direction and the contact surface, and

the image display device includes a display device body configured to display an image with respect to the vehicle information, and a cover provided with the boss parts, the cover being attached to the display device body in a detachable manner.

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

the image display device includes a display device body configured to display an image with respect to the vehicle information, and a cover provided with the boss parts, the cover being attached to the display device body in a detachable manner.
