A head-up display makes an observer visually recognize an image, which is optically reflected by a combiner, as a virtual image. The head-up display has a main body unit and an attaching unit. The main unit has a light source which is a projection unit for projecting the image. The attachment unit is configured such that the attachment unit can be attached to a sun visor that is provided to a vehicle. The joint member has a rotation shaft that rotatably joints the main unit to the attachment unit. The damper reduces vibration of the main unit in the rotational direction of the rotation shaft. When the rotation shaft of the joint member is attached to the sun visor by the attachment unit, the rotation shaft is substantially parallel to a sun visor supporting shaft so the sun visor can rotate in the direction in which the sun visor opens/closes.

A laser light source module includes a plurality of laser light sources, a synthesizing element, a light receiving element, a case unit and a sealing unit. The synthesizing element overlaps laser beams outputted from the laser light sources. The light receiving element detects the intensities of the laser beams outputted from the laser light sources. The case unit houses the laser light sources and the synthesizing element. The sealing unit seals the case unit. The light receiving element is attached to the sealing unit.

A clamp mechanism comprises a turntable, a plurality of chuck claws, and a driving element. The turntable is rotatably driven by a motor. A disc serving as a recording medium is placed on the turntable. The chuck claws are used to hold, that is, clamp the disc on the turntable. The driving element drives the chuck claws both in both a first direction determined to clamp the disc and a second direction determined to unclamp the disc. The driving element includes a pressing portion so that travel of the chuck claws in the first direction in cases where the chuck claws are driven in the second direction. This offers stable clamping and unclamping operations of the chuck claws to detachably hold the disc on the turntable, independently of which attitude the disc takes.
