Vehicular display device
Provided is a vehicular display device that offers good visibility without causing a passenger to feel uncomfortable. In a bezel that includes a cover portion arranged above a display unit of a vehicular display device and a frame portion enclosing the cover portion, a front-side end portion of the cover portion is arranged at a position lower than a rear-side end portion. As a result, external light is reflected forward. Moreover, a front frame includes a reflecting plate, a semi-transparent output plate covering over the reflecting plate, and a light-collecting portion collecting external light that enters from a front into a space enclosed by the reflecting plate and the output plate. As a result, the front frame is prevented from being darkly reflected onto a front glass.
1. A vehicular display device for projecting an image from a counter surface facing a front glass in an instrument panel onto the front glass, the vehicular display device comprising:
a display device arranged in the instrument panel and projects an image; and
a bezel that includes a cover portion covering over the display device and a frame portion arranged on at least a vehicle front side of the cover portion, and is arranged on the counter surface, wherein
the cover portion has a vehicle front-side end portion arranged at a position lower than a rear-side end portion,
in the frame portion, a front frame arranged on the vehicle front side of the cover portion includes a reflecting plate formed to have a high reflectivity on an upper surface and tilting downward toward a vehicle rear, an output plate covering an upper side of the reflecting plate, and a light-collecting portion collecting external light such that the external light enters from a front into between the reflecting plate and the output plate, and
the output plate is formed with a semi-transparent member, wherein the external light entering outside of the output plate is reflected to some extent by the output plate, and the external light collected by the light-collecting portion is reflected by the reflective plate and then transmitted to some extent through the output plate.
2. The vehicular display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the reflecting plate includes a first reflecting portion that tilts downwardly toward a rearward of the vehicle, and a second reflecting portion that is continuous with a vehicle rear-side end portion of the first reflecting portion and has a tilt angle gentler than an angle of the first reflecting portion,
a first reflecting asperity portion having degree of asperity that increases toward the rearward of the vehicle is formed on an upper surface of the first reflecting portion, and
a second reflecting asperity portion having degree of asperity larger than the degree of asperity of the first reflecting asperity portion is formed on an upper surface of the second reflecting portion.
3. The vehicular display device according to claim 2 , wherein, a diffusive asperity portion for diffusing incident light is formed on a surface of the output plate facing the reflecting plate.
4. The vehicular display device according to claim 3 , wherein
the cover portion is formed to have a downward convex surface,
an outer surface of the output plate is formed to have an upward convex surface, and
the output plate has a lower-side end portion arranged in a vicinity of the vehicle front-side end portion of the cover portion, and an upper-side end portion arranged at a position higher than the cover portion.
5. The vehicular display device according to claim 2 , wherein
the cover portion is formed to have a downward convex surface,
an outer surface of the output plate is formed to have an upward convex surface, and
the output plate has a lower-side end portion arranged in a vicinity of the vehicle front-side end portion of the cover portion, and an upper-side end portion arranged at a position higher than the cover portion.
6. The vehicular display device according to claim 1 , wherein, a diffusive asperity portion for diffusing incident light is formed on a surface of the output plate facing the reflecting plate.
7. The vehicular display device according to claim 6 , wherein
the cover portion is formed to have a downward convex surface,
an outer surface of the output plate is formed to have an upward convex surface, and
the output plate has a lower-side end portion arranged in a vicinity of the vehicle front-side end portion of the cover portion, and an upper-side end portion arranged at a position higher than the cover portion.
8. The vehicular display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the cover portion is formed to have a downward convex surface,
an outer surface of the output plate is formed to have an upward convex surface, and
the output plate has a lower-side end portion arranged in a vicinity of the vehicle front-side end portion of the cover portion, and an upper-side end portion arranged at a position higher than the cover portion.
