the image source is configured to emit image light to the light reflection module according to an image to be displayed;
the image light is reflected at least twice by the light reflection module, and exits towards the image size adjustment module; and
the image size adjustment module is configured to adjust the image light incident thereon and to emit the image light upon being adjusted,
the light reflection module comprises a pentaprism, the pentaprism comprises a first side surface, a second side surface, a third side surface, a fourth side surface, and a fifth side surface that are adjacent to one another sequentially,
the vehicle-mounted display device further comprises a first fixing component and a first adjusting component, wherein the first fixing component is configured to fix the light reflection module; the first adjusting component is connected with the first fixing component and is configured to drive the first fixing component to rotate to cause the light reflection module to rotate, so as to adjust a light exit direction of the light reflection module,
the pentaprism further comprises a face surface corresponding to the axis of the pentaprism, and the face surface is in contact with the first side surface, the second side surface, the third side surface, the fourth side surface, and the fifth side surface, respectively, and
the first fixing component comprises a fixing end fixed on the face surface of the pentaprism.

2. The vehicle-mounted display device according to claim 1 , wherein the light reflection module comprises a first reflection surface and a second reflection surface, and the image light is reflected by the first reflection surface for a first time and is reflected by the second reflection surface for a second time to form a reflected light, and the image light is intersected with the reflected light.

3. The vehicle-mounted display device according to claim 2 , wherein the pentaprism comprises an incident surface and an exit surface, the image light is incident onto the incident surface and exits from the exit surface, and the exit surface is adjacent to the incident surface and is located between the incident surface and the image size adjustment module.

4. The vehicle-mounted display device according to claim 3 , wherein the first reflection surface is adjacent to the exit surface, the second reflection surface is adjacent to the incident surface, and the incident surface is perpendicular to the exit surface.

5. The vehicle-mounted display device according to claim 4 , wherein the fifth side surface is adjacent to the first side surface, the first side surface is the incident surface, the second side surface is the second reflection surface, the fourth side surface is the first reflection surface, and the fifth side surface is the exit surface.

6. The vehicle-mounted display device according to claim 2 , wherein the image size adjustment module comprises an aspherical reflection mirror or a concave lens.

7. The vehicle-mounted display device according to claim 1 , wherein the light reflection module is arranged between the image size adjustment module and the image source.

8. The vehicle-mounted display device according to claim 1 , wherein the image size adjustment module is configured to converge or diverge the image light.

9. The vehicle-mounted display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a second fixing component and a second adjusting component, wherein the second fixing component is configured to fix the image source; the second adjusting components is connected with the second fixing component and is configured to drive the second fixing component to rotate to cause the image source to rotate, so as to adjust a light exit direction of the image source.

10. The vehicle-mounted display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a camera module, a processing module, and a display module, wherein the processing module is electrically connected with the camera module and the display module, respectively;
the camera module is configured to acquire an image in a predetermined range and send the image to the processing module, the predetermined range comprises a user using the vehicle-mounted display device;
the processing module is configured to determine a height of the user according to the image, and is configured to obtain, by calculating, a rotating angle of an exit optical axis of at least one selected from the group consisting of the light reflection module and the image source based on the height of the user and a height of a virtual image; and
the display module is configured to display the rotating angle.

11. The vehicle-mounted display device according to claim 10 , further comprising an automatic adjustment module, wherein the automatic adjustment module is electrically connected with the processing module, is connected with at least one selected from the group consisting of the light reflection module and the image source, and is configured to adjust a direction of an exit optical axis of at least one selected from the group consisting of the light reflection module and the image source according to the rotating angle.

12. The vehicle-mounted display device according to claim 1 , wherein the image size adjustment module comprises an aspherical reflection mirror or a concave lens.

13. A display system comprising a reflective element and the vehicle-mounted display device according to claim 1 , wherein the image light emitted from the image size adjustment module is reflected by the reflective element to form a virtual image of the image to be displayed.

14. The display system according to claim 13 , wherein the reflective element comprises a windshield of a vehicle.

15. The vehicle-mounted display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a second fixing component and a second adjusting component, wherein the second fixing component is configured to fix the image source; the second adjusting component is connected with the second fixing component and is configured to drive the second fixing component to rotate to cause the image source to rotate, so as to adjust a light exit direction of the image source.

16. The vehicle-mounted display device according to claim 15 , further comprising a camera module, a processing module, and a display module, wherein the processing module is electrically connected with the camera module and the display module, respectively;
