HEAD-UP DISPLAY

A head-up display includes a mirror body, a mirror having a shaft serving a rotary axis, a bearing member which holds the shaft of the mirror to be rotatable, a torsion spring through which the shaft penetrates and which urges the mirror in a predetermined rotational direction of the rotary axis with respect to the bearing member, and a housing which accommodates the mirror, the bearing member, and the torsion spring. The torsion spring is disposed on an opposite side opposite to the mirror with respect to the bearing member. The bearing member includes a protrusion to which one end of the torsion spring is hung. The housing includes a depressed portion fitted to the bearing member to fix the bearing member.
