Meter with projector for vehicle

Abstract

A meter device for a vehicle has a meter module protruded on a dashboard. A chassis module installed in the dashboard is extending on a front side of the meter module. The chassis module has a projection module having a laser light source and a reflector. The chassis module further has an indicator module which displays a character or a sign. The chassis module, the meter module, the indicator module, and the projection module are formed in an assembly which can be handled as a single unit. The projection module projects an image on the meter module by reflecting laser light. The laser light is reflected by the reflector toward the meter module from an obliquely lower side on the front side of the meter module. The meter module may have a cover member provided by a liquid-crystal shutter board and/or a touch panel.
