One embodiment of the present invention provides a display device from which a driver or a fellow passenger in a mobile body such as a vehicle can easily obtain desired information. One embodiment of the present invention is a display device including a display panel. The display panel is placed inside a mobile body including window glass. A film including a light-blocking layer is provided between the window glass and the display panel of the mobile body. By providing a driving unit controlling the display panel, the positional relationship between the window glass and the display panel is changed. Alternatively, by providing a driving unit controlling the film including the light-blocking layer, the positional relationship between the window glass and the film including the light-blocking layer is changed.

The display supporting apparatus includes a base, a first arm, a second arm, and a display attachment bracket designed to be fixedly securable or attachable to a display. The display support apparatus further includes a mechanism for providing a constant orientation in relation to the base for the plane bisecting the range of rotation of the second arm about the pivot axis between the first arm and the second arm even as the first arm moves pivotally relative to the base.

Vehicle mountable holographic promoting system and method of use; system includes a body with light, mount, and controller in communication with a software application and the body. The body is mountable to the vehicle using mount. Mount can be removably attachable or otherwise secured to the roof of the vehicle. The controller controls the body such that the body can visually promote via an image display an item using the light-display region appearing to float on a plane above vehicle.

A method is provided for tracking and/or locating a delivery item transport equipment label. A delivery-item transport equipment label is scanned. At least one of a first identifier that is attached to a bracket or an RFID chip that is attached to the bracket is scanned to associate the delivery-item transport equipment label with the RFID chip. The RFID chip is scanned during use of a delivery-item transport equipment to which the bracket is attached. A location of the delivery-item transport equipment label is identified based on the scanning of the RFID chip.

A warning apparatus includes a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to detect whether there is an object in front of the warning apparatus, calculate, when there is an object detected in front of the warning apparatus, a distance between the object and the warning apparatus, determine whether the calculated distance is less than a safe distance, and control the warning apparatus, when the calculated distance is less than the safe distance, to output a first control signal to control warning equipment to output a first warning.

A license plate holder includes a base (1200) including a first connector (1205) for attaching the base (1200) to a vehicle, a transmissive substrate (1120) an a frame (1140) defining a central opening (1142) to permit display of indicia on at least one license plate display region (1162) of a license plate (1160) disposed between the base and the frame, the frame (1140) including at least one first rear connector (1600) disposed at a rear or peripheral portion of the frame to removably engage a corresponding at least one second rear connector (1500) disposed on the base (1200). The transmissive substrate (1120) and/or the frame (1140) further defines at least one display region (1146) adjacent the central opening (1142) of the frame (1140) and outside of the at least one license plate display region (1162). The transmissive substrate (1120) is attached to, or is removably attachable to, a front of the frame (1140) to at least substantially cover the front of the frame (1140).

A device for use in a vehicle having an entertainment system. The device includes an information processing system including a data processor and memory in communication with one another, with the data processor executing a control system. The device includes an electronic paper display connected in communication to the control system and displaying information in accordance with commands received from the control system. The device includes a communication module connected in communication with the information processing system, with the communication module being connectable to the vehicle entertainment system. The communication module is configured to receive information from the vehicle entertainment system according to at least one communication protocol and communicate the information to the control system, in which the control system generates commands for the electronic paper display in accordance with information received from the vehicle entertainment system.
