An optical scanning device includes a light source, a scanning member, and an incident optical system. The scanning member two-dimensionally scans a scanning area with the deflected light beam in a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The incident optical system guides the emitted light beam to the scanning member, the incident optical system including the light source. The scanning area includes a first area and a second area surrounding the first area. When the scanning area is viewed from a side of the scanning member, at least a part of the incident optical system is disposed in an area of the second area that overlaps one of two divided areas of the scanning area. The two divided areas are divided by a line segment parallel to the first direction,

A method and apparatus for outputting a three-dimensional (3D) image are provided. To output a 3D image, a stereo image is generated based on viewpoints of a user and rendered into a 3D image. Since the stereo image is generated based on the viewpoints of the user, the user views a different side of an object appearing in the 3D image depending on a viewpoint of the user.

A laminated glass includes a first glass plate; a second glass plate with a plate thickness which is less than a plate thickness of the first glass plate; and an intermediate film. The first glass plate and the second glass plate are laminated via the intermediate film. An external dimension of the second glass plate is less than an external dimension of the first glass plate. At least a part of an outer peripheral edge of the second glass plate is located on an inner periphery side with respect to an outer peripheral edge of the first glass plate.

A display substrate is provided, which includes a base substrate, a plurality of pixel units arranged on the base substrate, and a function layer arranged at a light-emitting side of at least one pixel unit of the plurality of pixel units, wherein the function layer is configured to shield a light beam toward a first direction among light beams emitted by the at least one pixel unit, the function layer includes an organic layer and a light-shielding layer, and the light-shielding layer is arranged on a part of the organic layer, and configured to shield the light beam toward the first direction among the light beams emitted by the at least one pixel unit. An on-board display device and a method for manufacturing the display substrate are further provided.

A side head-up display system is provided. The side head-up display system has an image generator configured to emit a generated image to create a virtual image for viewing by a vehicle occupant. In some forms, a side display surface is disposed along a vehicle side of the motor vehicle, and the virtual image is viewable through the side display surface. In some versions, a controller is provided and configured to cause the generated image to be generated intermittently while the first motor vehicle is running so that the image generator is off at least part of the time while the motor vehicle is running. The controller may be configured to cause the image generator to create the generated image to show information about another vehicle outside of the motor vehicle, such as speed information and/or distance and location information.

In an observation device including a display device, paired ocular optical systems each include a resin lens having a shape defined by an arch and a chord, and provided with a molding gate in an outer peripheral portion of the arc shape, and is appropriately set in: a difference RC between the radius of the resin lens and the length of a line connecting the midpoint of the chord and the point on the optical axis; the diameter D of the resin lens; an angle θ between a direction connecting a midpoint of a long side of the display surface and the point on the optical axis and a direction connecting the molding gate and the point on the optical axis; and an acute angle α between directions connecting the point on the optical axis and the respective molding gates of the resin lenses in the paired ocular optical systems.

A backlight unit in a head-up display apparatus according to the present disclosure includes A plurality of light sources configured to emit light; a plurality of primary light collectors configured to collect the light emitted by the plurality of light sources to transmit, refract, or reflect the collected light; and a secondary light collector configured to recollect the light which is collected by the plurality of primary light collectors. At this point, an optical axis of one among the plurality of light sources, the plurality of primary light collectors, and the secondary light collector is disposed to be different from the other two.

A circuit device 100 includes an error detection circuit 110 and a processing circuit 120. The error detection circuit 110 obtains a glare index value, which is an index value indicating glare of a head-up display, based on image data IMD for head-up display. The error detection circuit 110 determines whether or not a glare index value has exceeded a first threshold value, and when the glare index value exceeds the first threshold value, detects occurrence of a first glare error. When occurrence of a first glare error is detected, the processing circuit 120 performs processing corresponding to the first glare error.

A heads-up display may comprise a viewing screen having a reflective surface; a housing defining an opening; a display element disposed within the housing and comprising an integral linear polarizer configured to polarize light in a first direction; and a first linear polarizer disposed between the display element and the viewing screen covering the opening defined by the housing configured to polarize light in the first direction. The display element may be capable of causing images to be displayed on the viewing screen.

A display system for realizing concentric light field with monocular-to-binocular hybridization, and methods thereof. At least some embodiments include a display arranged to emit or transmit light rays based on image content from a content engine, and an optical subsystem arranged to configure the light rays into a concentric light field. The concentric light field provides a virtual image in a large, contiguous spatial region, such that each eye of the human viewer can detect monocular depth from the light field, to provide a large field of view.
