A vehicle-mounted display device includes a glass plate that includes a first arcuate surface at a first outer circumferential edge part, the first arcuate surface facing a front surface side, a casing that supports the glass plate from a rear surface side, the casing including a housing and a frame that projects from the housing, and a display unit stored in the casing configured to output a display light toward the glass plate. A rear surface of the glass plate and a front surface of the frame face each other at a spaced distance. The frame further includes a projection that projects, within the spaced distance, from the front surface of the frame toward the rear surface of the glass plate at a second outer circumferential edge part of the front surface of the frame, and the projection includes a second arcuate surface.

A vehicle-mounted display device includes a glass plate including a first arcuate surface at a first outer circumferential edge part and facing a front surface side, a casing that supports the glass plate from a rear surface side and including a housing and a frame that projects therefrom, and a display unit stored in the casing. A rear surface of the glass plate and a front surface of the frame are spaced and face each other. The frame includes a projection that projects from the front surface of the frame toward the rear surface of the glass plate at a second outer circumferential edge part of the front surface of the frame. The projection includes a second arcuate surface and a center and a radius of the second arcuate surface that are identical to a center and a radius of the first arcuate surface, respectively.

A glass plate includes a first arcuate surface at an outer circumferential edge part, the first arcuate surface facing a front surface side. A frame supports the glass plate from a rear surface side and includes a second arcuate surface in a portion toward the glass plate. A display unit is stored in a housing and outputs a display light toward the glass plate. A center C and a radius R of the second arcuate surface are made to be identical to a center C and a radius R of the first arcuate surface, respectively.

A mount is slid with respect to a base to build an assembly, the base including an upper surface fixed to a vehicle, a lower surface facing a direction opposite to that of the upper surface, a first lateral surface located between the lower surface and the upper surface, and a second lateral surface located between the lower surface and the upper surface and located opposite to the first lateral surface. The mount includes a bottom surface facing the lower surface, a first lateral wall joined to the bottom surface and facing the first lateral surface, and a second lateral wall joined to the bottom surface and facing the second lateral surface. A thickness of the first lateral wall in a direction from the first lateral wall to the second lateral wall is smaller in a first lower portion than in a first upper portion.

A vehicular rearview mirror device includes a housing, a mirror, a camshaft, a fixed part, and a drive part. As the camshaft is rotated by a driving force transmitted from the drive part, and moves toward the fixed part by the action of a cam, a movable part including the housing, the mirror, and the drive part as a whole tilts. The drive part includes a drive source, and a gear train transmitting the driving force of the drive source to the camshaft. The gear train includes a first gear disposed to the camshaft, and a second gear that elastically meshes with the first gear.

Vehicular rearview mirror device

A holding structure for a display panel includes a case that has a substantially quadrangle-shaped opening, a plurality of elastic strips that is disposed to surround the periphery of the opening, the display panel that is disposed to close the opening via the plurality of the elastic strips, and a holding plate that is disposed to press the display panel against the plurality of the elastic strips. The case has recesses in parts of the periphery of the opening. The plurality of the elastic strips is disposed such that each strip has a part overlapping with the corresponding part of another strip, one on another. The overlapping parts of the plurality of the elastic strips are configured to fill at least a part of the respective recesses.
