US Patent 12130513 Display device for vehicle

A display device for a vehicle includes a housing that is provided in a vehicle, a TFT that is housed in the housing, an intermediate mirror, an infrared light absorbing member, and a thermistor. The intermediate mirror is housed in the housing, reflects, on a reflecting surface, display light that has been output from the TFT in such a way that the display light reaches a visual observation position of a driver of the vehicle, and transmits infrared light included in sunlight without reflecting the infrared light on the reflecting surface. The infrared light absorbing member is provided on a side of a rear face that is opposite to the reflecting surface of the intermediate mirror, and absorbs the infrared light that has been transmitted through the intermediate mirror. The thermistor is provided to the infrared light absorbing member, and detects the temperature of the infrared light absorbing member.
