Systems and method for mounting a vehicle topper to a roof of a vehicle are provided. A first and second cross bar are secured to the roof of the vehicle. A housing for first and second electronic displays of the vehicle topper is secured to the cross bars by way of mounting brackets. Wiring is extended between the vehicle topper and an outside power source to establish an electrical pathway between the power source and the first and second electronic displays when connected.

Aspects are disclosed that facilitate customizing vehicle signage. In a particular aspect, a signage is disclosed which includes a mica cover positioned within the perimeter of a frame. The signage further includes a light source configured to direct light towards a backside of the mica cover, and a logo component positioned on the backside of the mica cover. In a particular aspect, the light source is configured to illuminate a logo by transmitting light through the logo component so that the illuminated logo is viewable from the frontside of the mica cover. An attachment mechanism is also included, which is configured to attach the signage to a vehicle.

A method integrates a display, in particular an electronic display, in an outer skin of a vehicle, in one region of a body of the vehicle. The outer skin of the vehicle body, at least in the region of the vehicle body, is formed by a plastic molding, or at least has such a plastic molding. The display is formed together with the plastic moulding, in a joint moulding step, to give a vehicle-body contour, wherein the display surface of the display faces away from the plastic molding.

An electronic device configured to charge an occupant in a vehicle. The electronic device includes: an interface unit configured to exchange signals with at least one internal camera configured to capture at least one image of an inside of a cabin of the vehicle; at least one processor; and at least one computer memory that is operably connectable to the at least one processor and that has stored thereon instructions which, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations including: receiving, through the interface unit, image data that was generated based on processing the at least one image of the inside of the cabin captured by the at least one internal camera; and generating cost charging data based on a motion of a user detected from the received image data.

A safety warning sign, when not in use, is rolled and stored inside to case, and in the event of emergency, when a driver opens the trunk and then opens the case by pulling a cover with a finger while the case is attached and affixed to the edge of the trunk by means of a magnetic body of an attachment member connected to the case, the safety warning sign stored in the form of a roll inside the case is, simultaneously as the case is opened, automatically spread open by its own weight (gravity) and deployed, thus allowing the driver, even in the state of panic from an accident, to easily and rapidly install the car safety warning sign and quickly escape to safety.

Disclosed is an image stitching-based aerial image formation apparatus, including sequentially along an optical path direction: an image source comprising a plurality of display units arranged in an array; a rear lens group comprising a plurality of optical lens units arranged in an array; and a front lens group, wherein light rays passing through the rear lens group are converged via the front lens group to render a real image in midair. The disclosure offers the following benefits: by splitting the image source into a plurality of display units arranged in an array and constituting the rear lens group by a plurality of optical lens units arranged in an array, the image is split into smaller patches, such that the longitudinal distance needed for chromatic aberration adjustment also decreases, which shrinks the longitudinal dimension of the whole apparatus so as to be better adapted for installation in a narrow space.

Signs according to this application are be configured to output content on a display for viewing by bystanders, occupants of vehicles, and so forth. In some instances, the sign may be oriented to output content within a certain range of view angles relative to the sign. Additionally, content output by the sign may be based at least in part on characteristics of the environment in which the sign is located, a speed of the vehicle, a number of viewers within the viewing range of the sign, weather conditions, and so forth. Sensor(s) may sense conditions within the environment for controlling an operation of the sign. While examples are described herein in which signs include electronic displays, in some examples, signs according to this disclosure can be non-electronic (e.g., plastic, wood, paper, and/or metal signs with content painted, printed, or otherwise applied thereto).

A display device according to one or more embodiments may be provided with: a light guide plate that guides incident light and emits the light from a light exit surface; a half mirror disposed on the light-exit-surface side of the light guide plate; and a mirror disposed on the side opposite to the light exit surface of the light guide plate. The light guide plate may form an image accompanied by a change that is made in a direction from the half mirror toward the mirror in a space different from the light exit surface.

In one aspect, a method includes the step of A mobile projection system; the system comprising: a hermetically sealed base unit configured to be releasably attached to an automobile; a microprocessor configured to receive a plurality of projectable images from a remote server over a wireless network; and a remote server configured to store a plurality of selected images over a period of time; a projection means configured to project a selected image through a translucent lens.
