A meter assembly for a vehicle instrument panel. The meter assembly includes a reflector case having a plurality of light guides extending from an inner surface of the reflector case. Neighboring ones of the plurality of light guides have different lengths and extend different distances from the inner surface of the reflector case.

The object is to avoid degradation of magnetic detection precision arising due to magnetization of transport rollers used for transporting a paper sheet. A paper sheet magnetic detection apparatus that detects a magnetic material in the paper sheet by using a magnetic sensor includes a transport path that transports paper sheets one by one; at least one magnet that is used in the detection of the magnetic material by the magnetic sensor; and a plurality of transport rollers that are arranged near the magnetic sensor and that transport the paper sheet in the transport path. Outer peripheral surfaces of the plurality of transport rollers that face the transport path are made of a non-magnetic material.

A display system is a display system which is installed in a vehicle and includes a liquid crystal display unit which outputs information representing a deviation amount of the current running speed of the vehicle from a speed limit set for an area where the vehicle is currently running.

A method of and a system for presenting an operating status of an aircraft engine. The method comprises accessing a first indication indicative of a position of an aircraft engine start switch and accessing a second indication indicative of an aircraft engine start operating mode, the second indication having been generated based on an analysis of a parameter associated with an operating condition of the aircraft engine. The method, upon determining that the position of the aircraft engine start switch is an on position and the aircraft engine start operating mode is a healthy start causes the display of a visual indication indicative of the healthy start. The method upon determining that the position of the aircraft engine start switch is an on position and the aircraft engine start operating mode is an abnormal start causes the display of a visual indication indicative of the abnormal start.

A combination meter including a first meter and a second meter, which are visible from a front side, and a half-silvered mirror disposed in front of the combination meter and having semi-transparent property are provided. Also, an image output device displays an image toward the half-silvered mirror is provided. The half-silvered mirror reflects the image displayed by the image output device to display a virtual image in front of the meter. Thus, the virtual image is overlappedly displayed with respect to the combination meter, whereby a use intuitively recognizes high priority information.

A display device displays a plurality of display elements having respective densities that continuously change in a first direction (an X direction), in such an arrangement that the display elements constitute a pointer needle and the densities continuously change in a second direction (a Y direction) intersecting the first direction, thereby displaying the pointer needle on a display section. This provides a display device with improved stereoscopic vision of the pointer needle.
