The head-up display apparatus includes a displaying device installed inside an instrument panel, an opening portion formed in the instrument panel, and a combiner disposed above the opening portion. An image of the displaying device is projected to the combiner through the opening portion. The displaying device is a segment display. The segment display includes a plurality of light sources and a character/symbol plate having a plurality of image informing parts. The combiner is made of a non-translucent dark plate or a semi-translucent dark smoke plate.

A heads up display system includes a display medium in combination with a dock or support configured to receiving a portable electronic device. The display of the portable electronic device is projected by the display medium, such as in a forward direction. The vehicle dashboard or a surrounding area can have an integral dock, which can be at a top of a gauge visor, bottom of a gauge visor, is displace below vehicle gauges. In each case, an aperture may be provide to provide a path from the display of the electronic device to the display medium. In some embodiments, the heads up display system may include a dedicated display that mirrors the display of the portable electronic device, via a wired or wireless connection.

The various embodiments set forth a method for displaying information on one or more surfaces of a vehicle, the method comprising acquiring position data associated with a driver of the vehicle, calculating a current field-of-view of the driver based on the position data, determining a suitable surface for displaying visual information within the vehicle based on the current field-of-view of the driver, and projecting an element of visual information on the suitable surface.

A vehicular display control apparatus includes: a condition determination portion that determines whether a deviation prediction condition has been established, the deviation prediction condition being a condition based on which a deviation between a sensible speed for a driver and an actual traveling speed is predicted; a speed difference determination portion that determines whether a speed difference between the actual traveling speed and a speed limit is a switching determination value or larger, and whether a shortage of the traveling speed from the speed limit is the switching determination value or larger; and a switching control portion that switches a speed display indicating the traveling speed to an emphasized display in a case when the condition determination portion determines that the deviation prediction condition has been established, and also when the speed difference determination portion determines that the speed difference is the switching determination value or larger.

The invention relates to a method for operating an interactive visibility screen on a transparent pane of a pane device, in particular in a motor vehicle. The visibility screen is generated by means of a display unit of the pane device on the pane by pixel-wise fade-in of opaque image points, wherein the image points form a coherent visibility screen area. In the method, an operational action by the user is first detected by means of a detection device, which comprises a selection of a setting range and a movement relative to the pane. Subsequently, an expansion of the visibility screen area at the setting range is set as a function of the detected movement by means of a control device.
