- Patent Literature 1 discloses a discomfort reduction display device capable of reducing discomfort felt by a viewer with respect to a display image of a display device installed in a vehicle when the vehicle vibrates. Specifically, the display device acquires the rotation component generated in the vehicle body as the inclination of the vehicle body, corrects the rotation of the image in three dimensions based on the acquired inclination of the vehicle body, and spatially fixes the image on the display unit. The position and inclination for displaying the rotation-corrected image are determined so as to be on the plane, and the determined image is projected and displayed on the display unit.
- HUD Head Up Display
- the HUD displays driving information such as vehicle speed and engine speed, navigation information, etc. by projecting them onto a windshield (windshield) or the like.
- windshield windshield
- the driver can obtain the information necessary for driving without moving the line of sight to the instrument panel incorporated in the dashboard. Therefore, it is possible to contribute to safe driving.
- a HUD using AR (referred to as an AR-HUD) requires a wide display area.
- the opening provided on the projection optical path of the image light that is, on the optical path from the display panel to the windshield.
- the wider the opening the easier it is for sunlight to enter through an optical path opposite to the projection optical path of the image light. As a result, the display panel is likely to be damaged.
- a drive mechanism such as a drive mechanism including a motor, generates operating noise during operation.
- the operating noise tends to increase particularly in an AR-HUD in which the size and weight of the driving mechanism may increase as the display area increases.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and one of its objects is to provide a head-up display device capable of suppressing user discomfort caused by operation noise. be.
- a typical head-up display device is mounted on a vehicle, and includes an information acquisition section, a video display device, a video light projection section, and a control section.
- the information acquisition unit acquires information about the vehicle.
- An image display device displays an image and emits image light of the displayed image.
- the image light projection unit includes a drive mechanism, and projects image light emitted from the image display device onto the display area, thereby allowing the projected image light to be viewed as a virtual image.
- the control unit controls the image display device and the image light projection unit based on the vehicle information acquired by the information acquisition unit. Then, the control unit determines whether or not a door unlock signal, which is one piece of information about the vehicle, has been received. It is configured to determine whether or not to cause the display device to start displaying an image based on the display start condition.

- FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration example of a vehicle equipped with a head-up display device according to one embodiment.
- a head-up display (HUD) device 1 shown in FIG. 1 is mounted on a vehicle 2 which is one of vehicles.
- the vehicle 2 is typically an automobile, but is not necessarily limited to this, and may be a railroad vehicle or the like. Also, the vehicle is not limited to a vehicle, and may be an aircraft or the like.
- the vehicle 2 is also equipped with a control unit 21 called an ECU (Electronic Control Unit), for example.
- ECU Electronic Control Unit
- the control unit 21 acquires vehicle information 4 from, for example, various sensors installed in each part of the vehicle 2, and also from a navigation device or the like. Various sensors detect, for example, various events occurring in the vehicle 2, and also detect various parameter values related to the driving situation.
- the HUD device 1 acquires the vehicle information 4 acquired by the control unit 21 using, for example, CAN (Controller Area Network) communication.
- the HUD device 1 receives the door lock signal LS/door unlock signal ULS of the vehicle 2 .
- the door lock signal LS/door unlock signal ULS are generated by various methods, typified by a method in which a user such as a driver presses a button of a keyless key. Then, the generated door lock signal LS/door unlock signal ULS are transmitted to the HUD device 1 via a communication path corresponding to the system.
- the vehicle information 4 includes, for example, speed information and gear information of the vehicle 2, steering angle information, lamp lighting information, external light information, distance information, infrared information, engine ON/OFF information, camera video information inside and outside the vehicle, acceleration Gyro information, GPS (Global Positioning System) information, navigation information, vehicle-to-vehicle communication information, road-to-vehicle communication information, etc. are included.
- the GPS information also includes information such as the current time.
- the HUD device 1 projects an image onto a display area such as the windshield 3 based on such vehicle information 4 . Thereby, the HUD device 1 allows a user such as a driver to visually recognize the image projected on the display area as a virtual image, more specifically, as a virtual image superimposed on the scenery in front of the vehicle 2 .

以上のようなHUD装置1において、例えば、図2を参照し、太陽光がウィンドシールド3の表示領域8を介して車内に入射した場合を想定する。この場合、太陽光は、図2に示した映像光の投射光路とは逆向きの光路、すなわち、映像光投射部6内のミラー13と第1のミラー12とを順に介した光路で映像表示装置11に入射され得る。その結果、映像表示装置11、詳細には、映像表示装置11内の表示パネルに、破損が生じるおそれがある。特に、表示領域8が広くなり得るAR-HUDでは、映像表示装置11の破損がより生じ易くなる。
図5は、図1等におけるHUD装置の概略的な動作例を示すフロー図である。図5に示される処理は、図3に示した制御部20によって実行される。また、図5のフローを開始する前段階として、車両2は駐車中であり、制御部20は、映像光投射部6を非投射モードに制御した状態で待機している場合を想定する。ここでは、図5のフローの概略について説明し、詳細に関しては、図6以降で説明する。また、以降では、図2に示したように、ミラー13に装着された駆動機構14を用いる場合を想定して説明する。
図6は、図5における投射モードへの遷移条件判定(ステップS1)の具体的な処理内容の一例を説明する図である。図6には、6個の具体例として、例1-1~例1-6が示される。例1-1において、制御部20は、条件項目(1A)として、キー挿入によるドアロック解除信号ULSを、情報取得部16を介して受信したか否かを判定する。この際のドアロック解除信号ULSは、ドアの鍵穴に挿入したキーを回転させる操作が行われたような場合に生成される。制御部20は、キー挿入によるドアロック解除信号ULSを受信した場合に、投射モードへの遷移条件を満たしたと判定する。

図10は、図5における表示開始条件判定(ステップS5)の具体的な処理内容の一例を説明する図である。図10には、8個の具体例として、例5-1~例5-8が示される。例5-1において、制御部20は、条件項目(5A)として、映像表示装置11が映像を表示しているか否かを判定し、条件項目(5B)として、イグニッションオフ信号IGOFを受信したか否かを判定する。制御部20は、映像表示装置11が映像を表示しており、かつ、イグニッションオフ信号IGOFを受信した場合には、表示終了条件を満たしたと判定する。

図14および図15のそれぞれは、図5の変形例となるフロー図であり、HUD装置の概略的な動作例を示すフロー図である。図14に示すフローは、図5に示したフローと比較して、次の点が異なっている。すなわち、図14において、制御部20は、非投射モードへの遷移条件判定(ステップS7)および非投射モードへの遷移動作(ステップS8)を行ったのち、表示終了条件判定(ステップS5)および表示終了動作(ステップS6)を行う。
