PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a virtual image type sign display device with which a virtual image with lessened distortion can be formed in a prescribed position without obstructing the visual field of a driver. SOLUTION: The virtual image type sign display device includes: a light source unit 2 having a light source 5, and a mask plate 7 located in front of the light source 5 and formed such that a required pattern is used as a light transmissive portion 7a; a flat mirror 3 located frontward in the emitting direction of the light source unit 2; a transparent plate unit 4 located opposite the light source 5 with the normal of the flat mirror 3 therebetween and having a transparent plate 11 of a tiltable storage system. Thus, an actual image of light emitted from the light source 5 and transmitted through the light transmitting portion 7a of the mask plate 7 is reflected by the flat mirror 3, and the image reflected by the flat mirror 3 is projected onto the transparent plate 11. Then, the image projected on the transparent plate 11 is reflected by the transparent plate and further projected onto human eyes (e). Thereby, the virtual image 22 is formed beyond the transparent plate 11. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
