Abstract
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.
Claims19
A rear-view mirror device comprising:
- a glass plate that includes a first arcuate surface at an 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, the frame including a second arcuate surface in a portion extending toward the outer circumferential edge part of the glass plate;
- a reflective layer provided between the frame and the glass plate;
- and
- an adhesive that bonds the reflective layer and the frame, wherein
- a center and a radius of the second arcuate surface are made to be identical to a center and a radius of the first arcuate surface, respectively,
- at least a part of the adhesive is located outside of the center of the first arcuate surface,
- a rear surface of the glass plate and a front surface of the frame face each other at a spaced distance, and
- 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 an outer circumferential edge part of the front surface of the frame;
- and
- a portion of the projection is included in the second arcuate surface.

- a center and a radius of the second arcuate surface are made to be identical to a center and a radius of the first arcuate surface, respectively,
- at least a part of the adhesive is located outside of the center of the first arcuate surface,
- a rear surface of the glass plate and a front surface of the frame face each other at a spaced distance, and
- 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 an outer circumferential edge part of the front surface of the frame;
- and
- a portion of the projection is included in the second arcuate surface.

A vehicle-mounted display system comprising:
- an imaging device that captures an image;
- and
- a vehicle-mounted display device that displays the image captured by the imaging device, wherein
- the vehicle-mounted display device includes:
- a glass plate that includes a first arcuate surface at an outer circumferential edge part, the first arcuate surface facing the front surface side;

- a display unit stored in the casing and outputting a display light reflecting the image toward the glass plate;
- and
- an adhesive that bonds the glass plate and the casing, wherein
- a center and a radius of the second arcuate surface are made to be identical to a center and a radius of the first arcuate surface, respectively,
- at least a part of the adhesive is located outside of the center of the first arcuate surface,
- a rear surface of the glass plate and a front surface of the frame face each other at a spaced distance, and
- 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 an outer circumferential edge part of the front surface of the frame;
- and
- a portion of the projection is included in the second arcuate surface.
