Abstract

A mirror device includes: a mirror having a rotation shaft and a reflecting surface that reflects display light; a support portion having a cylindrical shape, having a base end fixed and a tip end being a free end, and configured to rotatably support the rotation shaft; and a motor that pivots the mirror, in which the rotation shaft is inserted into the support portion while spreading the support portion outward in a radial direction, and is slidably supported by the support portion.

Claims (45)

1. A mirror device comprising:

a mirror having a rotation shaft and a reflecting surface that reflects display light;

a support body;

a support portion having a cylindrical shape, having a base end immovably fixed to the support body and a tip end being a free end, and configured to rotatably support the rotation shaft; and

a motor that pivots the mirror, wherein

the rotation shaft is inserted into the support portion while spreading the support portion outward in a radial direction, and is slidably supported by the support portion.

2. The mirror device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a holding member having a motor holder that holds the motor, wherein

the support portion is a part of the holding member and is formed integrally with the motor holder.

3. The mirror device according to claim 1 , wherein

both ends of the rotation shaft are supported by the support portion.

4. The mirror device according to claim 2 , wherein

both ends of the rotation shaft are supported by the support portion.

5. The mirror device according to claim 1 , wherein

the support portion has a tapered shape in which an inner diameter at the tip end is smaller than an inner diameter at the base end.

6. The mirror device according to claim 2 , wherein

the support portion has a tapered shape in which an inner diameter at the tip end is smaller than an inner diameter at the base end.

7. The mirror device according to claim 3 , wherein

the support portion has a tapered shape in which an inner diameter at the tip end is smaller than an inner diameter at the base end.

8. The mirror device according to claim 1 , wherein

the support portion has a C-shaped cross-sectional shape in a cross section orthogonal to an axial direction.

9. The mirror device according to claim 2 , wherein

the support portion has a C-shaped cross-sectional shape in a cross section orthogonal to an axial direction.

10. The mirror device according to claim 3 , wherein

the support portion has a C-shaped cross-sectional shape in a cross section orthogonal to an axial direction.

11. The mirror device according to claim 5 , wherein

the support portion has a C-shaped cross-sectional shape in a cross section orthogonal to an axial direction.

12. The mirror device according to claim 1 , wherein

the support portion has a plurality of pieces each having an arc-shaped cross section, and the plurality of pieces is separated from each other by a slit extending from the tip end to the base end of the support portion.

13. The mirror device according to claim 2 , wherein

the support portion has a plurality of pieces each having an arc-shaped cross section, and the plurality of pieces is separated from each other by a slit extending from the tip end to the base end of the support portion.

14. The mirror device according to claim 3 , wherein

the support portion has a plurality of pieces each having an arc-shaped cross section, and the plurality of pieces is separated from each other by a slit extending from the tip end to the base end of the support portion.

15. The mirror device according to claim 5 , wherein

the support portion has a plurality of pieces each having an arc-shaped cross section, and the plurality of pieces is separated from each other by a slit extending from the tip end to the base end of the support portion.

16. The mirror device according to claim 1 , wherein

the support body is a vertical wall.

17. The mirror device according to claim 1 , wherein

the support body is a tubular portion.

18. A mirror device comprising:

a mirror having a rotation shaft and a reflecting surface that reflects display light;

a motor that pivots the mirror; and

a holding member provided with a support portion having a cylindrical shape, having a base end fixed and a tip end being a free end, and configured to rotatably support the rotation shaft, and provided with a motor holder that holds the motor, the support portion and the motor holder being integrally formed in the holding member, wherein

the rotation shaft is inserted into the support portion while spreading the support portion outward in a radial direction, and is slidably supported by the support portion, and

the support portion has a C-shaped cross-sectional shape in a cross section orthogonal to an axial direction.
