図1に示すように、本開示の第1実施形態によるHUD装置100は、移動体の一種である車両1に搭載され、インストルメントパネル2内に収容されている。HUD装置100は、車両1の投影部材としてのウインドシールド3に画像を投影する。これによりHUD装置100は、画像を車両1の乗員5により視認可能に虚像表示する。すなわち、ウインドシールド3に反射される画像の表示光が、車両1の室内において乗員5の眼に到達し、当該乗員5が当該表示光を虚像7として知覚する。そして、乗員5は、虚像7により各種情報を認識することができる。画像として虚像表示される各種情報としては、例えば、車速、燃料残量等の車両状態値、又は道路情報、視界補助情報等のナビゲーション情報が挙げられる。
実施例1では、バックラッシ相当角θbが1ステップ角分である。そして、基準ステップ角θ0が1ステップ角に設定され、逆ステップ角θ1が基準ステップ角θ0とバックラッシ相当角θbの和以上となる2ステップ角に設定されている。特に実施例1では、逆ステップ角θ1が基準ステップ角θ0とバックラッシ相当角θbの和と等しく設定されている。
実施例2でも、バックラッシ相当角θb、基準ステップ角θ0、逆ステップ角θ1が実施例1と同じ値となっている。ここで、制御ステップ角θc、実際の反射鏡30の角度、及び補正パラメータAの挙動を実施例1と同様に表2に示す。
以上説明した第1実施形態の作用効果を以下に説明する。
本開示の第2実施形態は第1実施形態の変形例である。第2実施形態について、第1実施形態とは異なる点を中心に説明する。
実施例3では、バックラッシ相当角θbが1ステップ角分である。そして、基準ステップ角θ0が1ステップ角に設定され、逆ステップ角θ1が基準ステップ角θ0とバックラッシ相当角θbの和以上となる2ステップ角に設定されている。特に実施例3では、逆ステップ角θ1が基準ステップ角θ0とバックラッシ相当角θbの和と等しく設定されている。ここで、制御ステップ角θc、実際の反射鏡30の角度、及び補正パラメータAの挙動を実施例1と同様に表3に示す。
実施例4でも、バックラッシ相当角θb、基準ステップ角θ0、逆ステップ角θ1が実施例3と同じ値となっている。ここで、制御ステップ角θc、実際の反射鏡30の角度、及び補正パラメータAの挙動を実施例1と同様に表4に示す。
以上、本開示の複数の実施形態について説明したが、本開示は、それらの実施形態に限定して解釈されるものではなく、本開示の要旨を逸脱しない範囲内において種々の実施形態及び組み合わせに適用することができる。
