Display apparatus and display drive mechanism for vehicle

A display drive mechanism for vehicle which slidingly moves a display assembly between a stored position and a projected position by a drive force of a motor, comprising;

• a pair of rotating bodies which are arranged along a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction of said display assembly and synchronously rotationally driven by said motor,
• a pair of projecting portions, each of which projects from one of said rotating bodies at a position thereof eccentric to its center of rotation, and
• a pair of grooves, each of which is provided to said display assembly and engaged with said projecting portion, wherein;
• said display assembly is driven to and fro in both directions between said stored position and said projected position by movement of each of said projecting portions in said groove, as said rotating body rotates in one rotational direction.

A display apparatus for vehicle comprising;

• a display assembly, and
• a display drive mechanism which slidingly moves said display assembly between a stored position and a projected position by a drive force of a motor, wherein
• said display drive mechanism comprises;
• a rotating body which is rotationally driven by said motor,
• a projecting portion which projects from either one of said rotating body and said display assembly, and
• a groove which is provided to the other of said rotating body and said display assembly and engaged with said projecting portion, wherein
• said display assembly is driven to and fro in both directions between said stored position and said projected position by cam action of said projecting portion and said groove, as said rotating body rotates.

A display apparatus for vehicle comprising:

• a display assembly and
• a display drive mechanism which slidingly moves said display assembly between a stored position and a projected position by a drive force of a motor, wherein;
• said display drive mechanism comprising;
• a first and second guide rods spaced apart along a first direction,
• a first engaging portion on said display assembly which engages with said first guide rod, said first engaging portion sliding on said first guide rod while being prohibited from moving in said first direction, and
• a second engaging portion on said display assembly which engages with said second guide rod, said second engaging portion sliding on said second guide rod while being permitted to move in said first direction.

A display apparatus for vehicle, comprising;

• a display assembly,
• a display drive mechanism which slidingly moves said display assembly between a stored position and a projected position,
• a support member which supports said display drive mechanism in position, and
• a guide mechanism which is supported in position by said support member and guides the movement of said display assembly,
• wherein,
• a substantially upper half portion of a screen of said display assembly is exposed from an installation surface at said stored position and an entire screen of said display assembly is exposed from said installation surface at said projected position, and
• at said stored position of said display assembly, information is displayed in the substantially upper half portion of said screen, and at said projected position of said display assembly, information is displayed in the entire portion of said screen.
