The chain double-dashed line shown inFIG. 1 represents central optical path L of the projected image, and also in the following description, central optical path L is represented by a chain double-dashed line in the drawings. -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a configuration of the display unit used in the in-vehicle display apparatus.FIG. 2 shows the configuration with a part of a housing of the display unit cut away.FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a schematic configuration of the display unit. - As shown in
FIG. 2 andFIG. 3 ,display unit 10 according to the present exemplary embodiment is configured such thathousing 11 having opening 11A houses thereindisplay device 12 for displaying an image and a projection optical system for projecting the image displayed ondisplay device 12 ontowindshield 22 as the display member. This arrangement enablesuser 30 to seevirtual image 40 of the image throughwindshield 22 as the display member. Regarding the image projected ontowindshield 22 as the display member,virtual image 40 of the image can be seen byuser 30 fromeye box 31 as a previously assumed visible area. - Opening 11A of
housing 11 forms an emitting window through which the projection light from the projection optical system is emitted. Opening 11A ofhousing 11 may be provided with a light transmissive cover made of a transparent resin sheet or the like such so as to close opening 11A. - As
display device 12, there is used a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, a plasma display, or the like, and a predetermined image is displayed in a display area ofdisplay device 12, based on an image signal being input fromdisplay controller 15. - In addition, the projection optical system includes, on the optical path from
display device 12 towindshield 22 as the display member,first mirror 13 as a first reflection member disposed on adisplay device 12 side andsecond mirror 14 as a second reflection member disposed on a display member side, that is, on an opening 11A side through which the projection light of the image displayed ondisplay device 12 is emitted. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , inhousing 11 ofdisplay unit 10, opening 11A through which the projection light is emitted has:first edge 11B formed in a circumferential area on afirst mirror 13 side of opening 11A; andsecond edge 11C formed in a circumferential on asecond mirror 14 side of opening 11A.Display device 12 is disposed such that the display area on which the image is being displayed is located on thefirst mirror 13 side, with respect to straight line LS connectingfirst edge 11B andsecond edge 11C. With this arrangement, even if external light enters intodisplay unit 10, entering of the external light into the display area ofdisplay device 12 can be controlled; thus,virtual image 40 of high quality can be formed. -
FIG. 4 is a plan view showing a display surface of the display device. As shown inFIG. 4 ,rectangular display device 12 has:rectangular display area 12A for displayingpredetermined image 16, based on an image signal being input fromdisplay controller 15; and non-displayarea 12B formed in an area surroundingdisplay area 12A. Further,image 16 displayed ondisplay device 12 is vertically and horizontally reversed with respect tovirtual image 40 displayed bydisplay unit 10. Marks (1), (2), (3), and (4) added onvirtual image 40 shown inFIG. 3 to indicate positions and marks (1), (2), (3), and (4) added onimage 16 shown inFIG. 4 to indicate positions illustrate thatimage 16 displayed ondisplay device 12 is reversed with respect tovirtual image 40 formed bydisplay unit 10. -
Display controller 15 is configured to be able to change the display position ofimage 16 indisplay area 12A by controlling the image signal being input to displaydevice 12. -
FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing how the display position of the image displayed on the display device is changed.FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing how the image projected by the projection optical system is changed by changing the display position of the image displayed on the display device. - As shown in
FIG. 5 ,display controller 15 can control the image signal so that the position of the image displayed ondisplay device 12 is changed fromdisplay position 16A to displayposition 16B. Note that the display position is not limited to twodisplay positions display controller 15. - As shown in
FIG. 6 , when the position of the image is controlled to be changed fromdisplay position 16A to displayposition 16B, the central optical path of the projected image is changed from L1 to L2, whereby the position of the viewpoint ofuser 30 viewingvirtual image 40 is changed. - That is,
display unit 10 according to the present exemplary embodiment has a configuration in which the position of the image displayed ondisplay device 12 can be changed by controllingdisplay controller 15, and thususer 30 can see appropriatevirtual image 40 depending on the position of the viewpoint ofuser 30. For example, whendisplay unit 10 is mounted invehicle 20, a mounting error ofdisplay unit 10 is caused. Withdisplay unit 10 of the present exemplary embodiment,display controller 15 is controlled to adjust the display position of the image displayed ondisplay device 12 so thatuser 30 can see appropriatevirtual image 40; therefore, the mounting error can be corrected bydisplay unit 10 itself. In addition, whenuser 30 is changed, the position of the viewpoint ofuser 30 may change. In that case,display controller 15 can be controlled to adjustdisplay positions image 16 displayed ondisplay device 12 so thatuser 30 can see appropriatevirtual image 40. - Incidentally, in order to enable
user 30 to see appropriatevirtual image 40 in the display apparatus of the present exemplary embodiment, it is preferable that the viewpoint ofuser 30 is located almost at a center ofeye box 31 as the visible area. Therefore, when the position of the viewpoint ofuser 30 has been changed,display controller 15 controls to movedisplay positions image 16 displayed ondisplay device 12 so that the viewpoint ofuser 30 is located almost at a center ofeye box 31 as the visible area. - The results of conducted experiments show that Vi/Is is preferably equal to or more than two and less than seven, where Vi is a moving amount of a viewpoint area of a user, and Is is a moving amount of
image 16 displayed ondisplay device 12. It is more preferable thatdisplay controller 15 controls the moving amount ofimage 16 so that Vi/Is is equal to or more than four and less than six. It is found that if Vi/Is is equal to or more than seven, distortion of the image observed ineye box 31 ofuser 30 is large, and if Vi/Is is less than two,eye box 31 as the visible area ofuser 30 is small. -
First mirror 13 as the first reflection member of the projection optical system is disposed vertically above the display surface ofdisplay device 12, that is,display area 12A. Infirst mirror 13,reflection surface 13A for reflecting the image displayed ondisplay device 12 has a free curved convex shape.Second mirror 14 as the second reflection member of the projection optical system is disposed, on the optical path reflected byreflection surface 13A offirst mirror 13, vertically belowwindshield 22 as the display member. Insecond mirror 14,reflection surface 14A having a free curved concave shape facesreflection surface 13A offirst mirror 13 and projects the image ontowindshield 22 as the display member. - Next, arrangement of
display device 12,first mirror 13, andsecond mirror 14 indisplay unit 10 will be described. -
FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing a positional relationship among the display device of the display unit, the first mirror, the second mirror, the user, and the virtual image.FIG. 8 is a plan view showing a positional relationship of the image displayed on the display device. The reference marks shown inFIG. 7 andFIG. 8 are defined below. The distances amongdisplay device 12,first mirror 13, andsecond mirror 14 represent lengths on the central optical path. - D12 is the distance between
first mirror 13 andsecond mirror 14; - Lv is the vertical length (T×tan θ) of
virtual image 40; - T is the distance, on the central optical path, from a pupil of
user 30 tovirtual image 40; - θ is the angle in the vertical direction when
virtual image 40 is viewed from the pupil ofuser 30; - Yv is the vertical length (corresponding to the vertical length of the virtual image) of
image 16 displayed ondisplay device 12; and - DL1 is the distance between
first mirror 13 andimage 16 ondisplay device 12. - The display apparatus using
display unit 10 according to the present exemplary embodiment is arranged such that distance D12 betweenfirst mirror 13 andsecond mirror 14 satisfies 0.2<D12/Lv<1.3. It is preferable that the display apparatus is arranged such that distance D12 betweenfirst mirror 13 andsecond mirror 14 satisfies 0.5<D12/Lv<1.0. It is more preferable that the display apparatus is arranged such that an upper limit of distance D12 betweenfirst mirror 13 andsecond mirror 14 satisfies D12/Lv<0.9. - This arrangement enables
user 30 to see sufficiently largevirtual image 40 even withsmall display unit 10 in which the distance betweenfirst mirror 13 andsecond mirror 14 is small. This arrangement can prevent a curvature ofsecond mirror 14 from becoming large, and thus a screen distortion ofvirtual image 40 can also be easily corrected. That is, the present exemplary embodiment can realize downsizing ofdisplay unit 10. - The display apparatus of the present exemplary embodiment is also configured such that the relationship between vertical length Yv of
image 16 displayed ondisplay device 12 and distance T, on the central optical path, fromuser 30 tovirtual image 40 satisfies 0.03<√(T×Lv)/Yv<0.22. - Here, in the present exemplary embodiment, if the relationship √(T×Lv)/Yv between vertical length Yv of
image 16 and distance T fromuser 30 tovirtual image 40 is more than 0.22, the distance fromuser 30 tovirtual image 40 is large, whereby the display apparatus becomes large. On the other hand, if the relationship √(T×Lv)/Yv between vertical length Yv ofimage 16 and distance T fromuser 30 tovirtual image 40 is less than 0.03, the vertical length ofimage 16 displayed ondisplay device 12 needs to be large, and as a result,display unit 10 becomes large. That is, according to the present exemplary embodiment, it is possible to realize downsizing ofdisplay unit 10 and downsizing of the display apparatus usingdisplay unit 10. - In addition, the display apparatus using
display unit 10 according to the present exemplary embodiment is configured such that distance D12 betweenfirst mirror 13 andsecond mirror 14 and distance DL1 betweenfirst mirror 13 andimage 16 ondisplay device 12 satisfy 3.0<D12/DL1. It is preferable that the display apparatus is configured such that distance D12 betweenfirst mirror 13 andsecond mirror 14 and distance DL1 betweenfirst mirror 13 andimage 16 ondisplay device 12 satisfy 3.5<D12/DL1<10.0. It is more preferable that the display apparatus is configured such that distance D12 betweenfirst mirror 13 andsecond mirror 14 and distance DL1 betweenfirst mirror 13 andimage 16 ondisplay device 12 satisfy 5.0<D12/DL1<8.0. - In the present exemplary embodiment, by configuring such that distance D12 between
first mirror 13 andsecond mirror 14 and distance DL1 betweenfirst mirror 13 andimage 16 ondisplay device 12 satisfy 3.0<D12/DL1, the curvature ofsecond mirror 14 can be prevented from becoming large, whereby the screen distortion ofvirtual image 40 can be also easily corrected. That is, according to the present exemplary embodiment, it is possible to downsizedisplay unit 10. -
FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing a relationship between the eye box as the visible area of the user and the virtual image which can be seen by the user, in the present exemplary embodiment.FIG. 9 is a diagram whenvirtual image 40 is viewed from a lower left position (3) ofeye box 31. -
FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing how the virtual image looks when viewed from different positions (1) to (5) in the eye box as the visible area, in the present exemplary embodiment. Here, the visible area (eye box) is an area in which the user can observe the entire virtual image without any missing part, and the visible area (eye box) has a rectangular shape of 120 mm width×35 mm height, in the present exemplary embodiment. - As shown
FIG. 10 , with the display apparatus according to the present exemplary embodiment, the screen distortion is corrected for the entire area ofeye box 31 whenvirtual image 40 is viewed from the positions (1) to (5) ineye box 31. In other words,user 30 can see satisfactoryvirtual image 40 from the entire area ofeye box 31. -
FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing a configuration of another exemplary embodiment of the display unit used for the in-vehicle display apparatus. In the present exemplary embodiment, as shown inFIG. 11 , inhousing 11 ofdisplay unit 10, firstlight shielding part 11D is provided in a circumferential area on thefirst mirror 13 side of opening 11A through which the projection light passes, and secondlight shielding part 11E is provided in a circumferential area on thesecond mirror 14 side ofopening 11A, to have a shape which seems to have been cut and raised fromhousing 11. Firstlight shielding part 11D hasfirst edge 11B, and secondlight shielding part 11E hassecond edge 11C.Display device 12 is disposed such that the display area for displaying the image is located on thefirst mirror 13 side, with respect to straight line LS connectingfirst edge 11B andsecond edge 11C. - With this arrangement, even if external light enters into
display unit 10, entering of the external light into the display area ofdisplay device 12 can be controlled; thus,virtual image 40 of high quality can be formed. In addition, with the present exemplary embodiment, since firstlight shielding part 11D and secondlight shielding part 11E are provided, an opening area ofopening 11A can be large; thus, large degree of freedom in design is secured. - As described above, according to the present technique,
display unit 10 for projecting an image is configured such thatdisplay device 12 configured to display an image and the projection optical system configured to project the image displayed ondisplay device 12 onto the display member are housed inhousing 11 havingopening 11A through which projection light is emitted. The projection optical system includes, on the optical path fromdisplay device 12 toopening 11A,first mirror 13 disposed on thedisplay device 12 side; andsecond mirror 14 disposed on theopening 11A side.First mirror 13 hasreflection surface 13A which reflects the image displayed ondisplay device 12 and has a free curved convex shape, andsecond mirror 14 hasreflection surface 14A which projects the image onto the display member and has a free curved concave shape. Further, the relationship between vertical length Yv ofimage 16 displayed ondisplay device 12 and distance T, on the central optical path, fromuser 30 tovirtual image 40 satisfies 0.03<√(T×Lv)/Yv<0.22, where Lv is the vertical length ofvirtual image 40 of the image. - With this arrangement, the distance from
user 30 tovirtual image 40 is not large, and the vertical length ofimage 16 displayed ondisplay device 12 does not need to be large; thus, it is possible to downsizedisplay unit 10 and the display apparatus usingdisplay unit 10. - In addition, with the present technique, it is possible to successfully correct the screen distortion occurred in
windshield 22 as the display member having a predetermined curvature; thus, the virtual image of the image formed on the opposite side of the display member to the user has a small screen distortion, whereby the user can see the virtual image without feeling strange. - Here,
reflection surface 13A offirst mirror 13 ofdisplay unit 10 according to the present technique has a rotationally asymmetric convex shape. With this arrangement, it is possible to successfully correct the screen distortion over the entire viewpoint area of the user. In addition, it is preferable thatreflection surface 13A offirst mirror 13 has a convex shape in the horizontal direction. This arrangement enables the curvature, in the horizontal direction, ofreflection surface 14A ofsecond mirror 14 to increase; thus, the display apparatus can be downsized. - Although the above exemplary embodiment is described using the case where
reflection surface 13A offirst mirror 13 has a free curved convex shape,reflection surface 13A may be a toroidal surface having a convex surface in the horizontal direction. Note that the “toroidal surface” represents an aspherical surface shape having different curvatures in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, which are orthogonal to each other. - Further,
reflection surface 13A offirst mirror 13 may have a rotationally asymmetric shape having different curvatures in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, as shown inFIG. 12 . -
FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a mirror whose reflection surface is a free curved surface. As shown inFIG. 13 , the free curved reflection surface is defined as below. - In reflection surface F, when vertical reference curve F1 and horizontal reference curve F2 both passing through optical axis C of a central optical path of an image are set, reflection surface F has reflection areas θ1, θ2, θ3, and θ4 having different curvatures with a point, at which vertical reference curve F1 and horizontal reference curve F2 intersect, as a border.
- In the following, specific examples will be described with respect to the display apparatus according to the present technique. Note that, in the examples to be described below, the unit of length and the unit of angle in the tables are respectively mm and degree. In addition, the free curved surface is defined by the following mathematical expression.
-
- In
Mathematical Expression 1, z is a sag amount at a position (x, y) with respect to the axes defining the surface; r is a radius of curvature at the origin of the axes defining the surface; c is a curvature at the origin of the axes defining the surface; k is a conic constant; and Cj is a coefficient of a monomial xmyn. - Further, in the examples, the coordinate origin as a reference is the center of the image (display surface) displayed in
display device 12; and in the tables, the horizontal direction of the display surface is represented as the X-axis, the vertical direction is represented as the Y-axis, and the direction perpendicular to the display surface is represented as the Z-axis. - In the tables,
surface number 1 represents the display surface ofdisplay device 12;surface number 2 representsfirst mirror 13;surface number 3 represents second mirror;surface number 4 representswindshield 22; andsurface number 5 represents the viewpoint of a user. Further, in the eccentricity data, ADE represents an amount by which the mirror is rotated from the Z-axis direction to the Y-axis direction about the X-axis, BDE represents an amount by which the mirror is rotated from the X-axis direction to the Z-axis direction about the Y-axis, and CDE represents an amount by which the mirror is rotated from the X-axis direction to the Y-axis direction about the Z-axis. -
