MIRROR HOLDING STRUCTURE AND HEAD-UP DISPLAY
A mirror holding structure includes a mirror holder that holds a mirror with an adhesive member having elasticity interposed therebetween. The mirror holder includes an elastic part that is in contact with the mirror and elastically deforms. A spring constant of the elastic part is greater than a spring constant of the adhesive member.
1 . A mirror holding structure that holds a mirror, the mirror holding structure comprising:
a mirror holder that holds the mirror with an adhesive member having elasticity interposed therebetween, wherein
the mirror holder includes an elastic part that is in contact with the mirror and elastically deforms, and
a spring constant of the elastic part is greater than a spring constant of the adhesive member.
2 . The mirror holding structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the mirror holder includes at least three elastic parts, the at least three elastic parts each being the elastic part.
3 . The mirror holding structure according to claim 2 , wherein
the at least three elastic parts are not disposed on a same straight line.
4 . The mirror holding structure according to claim 2 , wherein
the adhesive member is disposed between at least two elastic parts among the at least three elastic parts.
5 . The mirror holding structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the elastic part includes a protrusion that protrudes toward the mirror and contacts the mirror.
6 . The mirror holding structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the mirror holder comprises a first mirror holder that holds a first end portion of the mirror and a second mirror holder that holds a second end portion of the mirror.
7 . The mirror holding structure according to claim 6 , wherein
one of the first mirror holder and the second mirror holder is connected with a driving source that drives the one of the first mirror holder and the second mirror holder.
8 . The mirror holding structure according to claim 6 , wherein
the mirror is elongated in an alignment direction in which the first mirror holder and the second mirror holder are aligned, and is formed in a curved plate-like shape recessed at a middle portion of the mirror in the alignment direction.
9 . The mirror holding structure according to claim 8 , wherein
the first mirror holder includes a first main body part that is formed in a curved plate-like shape corresponding with a curved surface shape of the first end portion of the mirror, and
the second mirror holder includes a second main body part that is formed in a curved plate-like shape corresponding with a curved surface shape of the second end portion of the mirror.
10 . The mirror holding structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the adhesive member is a double-sided adhesive tape.
11 . A head-up display that projects a virtual image on a display medium, the head-up display comprising:
the mirror holding structure according to claim 1 ;
a display that emits, toward the mirror, display light that produces the virtual image; and
a casing that accommodates the mirror holding structure and the display.
12 . A mirror holding structure that holds a mirror, the mirror holding structure comprising:
a mirror holder that holds the mirror with an adhesive member having elasticity interposed therebetween, wherein
the mirror holder includes an elastic part that is in contact with the mirror and elastically deforms, and
in a state in which application of pressing force that presses the mirror toward the mirror holder is stopped, the elastic part is restored to an original shape, and the adhesive member is elastically deformed such that the adhesive member expands.
13 . A head-up display that projects a virtual image on a display medium, the head-up display comprising:
a mirror holding structure that holds a mirror;
a display that emits, toward the mirror, display light that produces the virtual image; and
a casing that accommodates the mirror holding structure and the display, wherein
the mirror holding structure includes a mirror holder that holds the mirror with an adhesive member having elasticity interposed therebetween,
the mirror holder includes an elastic part that is in contact with the mirror and elastically deforms, and
a spring constant of the elastic part is greater than a spring constant of the adhesive member.
