Abstract

Provided is a vehicular display device that can prevent generation of abnormal noise from around a transmission portion. The vehicular display device includes: a display unit that is provided inside an instrument panel to project a display image; a transparent cover that allows the display image projected from the display unit to pass therethrough to a windshield; a bezel body provided with an opening portion allowing passage of the display image that has passed through the transparent cover; and a cushioning material that is provided between at least a part of an end edge of the opening portion on the bezel body and the transparent cover.

Claims

1. A vehicular display device that is provided on an instrument panel, projects a display image toward a windshield, and allows a passenger to visually recognize a virtual image of the display image reflected on the windshield, the vehicular display device comprising:

a projection portion that is provided inside the instrument panel to project the display image;

a transmission portion that allows the display image projected from the projection portion to pass therethrough to the windshield;

a frame portion provided with an opening allowing passage of the display image that has passed through the transmission portion; and

a cushioning material that is provided between at least a part of the circumferential edge of the opening on the frame portion and the transmission portion.

2. The vehicular display device according to claim 1, wherein the cushioning material is provided between a forward circumferential edge, which is a part of the circumferential edge of the opening and located on the transmission portion at a front side of the vehicle, and the transmission portion, and a gap between the forward circumferential edge and the transmission portion is closed by the cushioning material.

3. The vehicular display device according to claim 1, wherein the cushioning material is provided between the entire circumferential edge of the opening and the transmission portion, and the gap between the entire circumferential edge of the opening and the transmission portion is closed by the cushioning material.

4. The vehicular display device according to claim 1, wherein the frame portion is formed separately from the instrument panel, and an outer edge thereof is mounted to be contiguous to the instrument panel.

5. The vehicular display device according to claim 2, wherein the frame portion is formed separately from the instrument panel, and an outer edge thereof is mounted to be contiguous to the instrument panel.

6. The vehicular display device according to claim 3, wherein the frame portion is formed separately from the instrument panel, and an outer edge thereof is mounted to be contiguous to the instrument panel.
