A shimmer disc or image apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a support member, at least one shimmer disc or member, and engagement means provided on or associated with the support member and/or shimmer disc or member for engaging the at least one shimmer disc or member to the support member in use to form an engaged position. The support member, engagement means and/or the at least one shimmer disc or member are arranged such that when engaged, at least part of the at least one shimmer disc or member is movable relative to the engagement means and/or support member in use. The at least one shimmer disc or member is arranged such that at least part of the same is able to flex in use and/or is resiliently biased to the engaged position in use.

A computer implemented method for automatic presentation of delayed video. During normal operation real-time video feed is sent to a digital screen for presentation and is also sent to memory for storage. When a delay trigger is issued, the system either freezes the frame presented in that instance or stores a time indicator. The system then monitors delay time and, when the delay time is reached, the system starts fetching frames from the memory, starting either from the frame immediately following the frozen frame or from the frame that was stored at the time indicator, and sends these frames to the digital screen for presentation. The system then monitors delay period and, when the delay period arrive, the system reverts to normal mode wherein real-time video feed is sent to a digital screen for presentation and is also sent to memory for storage.

[Object] To enable to visually recognizing information displayed on an outer circumferential surface of a member from an axial direction of the member and capable of switching selection elements while viewing the device from the axial direction. [Solution] A rotary switching device includes: a cylindrical first member that includes an outer circumferential surface on which predetermined information is displayed; a second member that is rotatable relative to the first member; a plurality of selection elements among which a selection target is switched in accordance with relative positions of the first member and the second member; a mirror surface part that is formed by a surface disposed around the outer circumferential surface of the first member and intersecting an axial direction of the first member, and that is configured to specularly reflect the information displayed on the outer circumferential surface of the first member to enable the information to be visually recognized from the axial direction of the first member; and an indicating part configured to indicate the selection element that is selected.

The present disclosure relates to apparatuses for display. An example display apparatus includes a picture generation unit, an imaging reflector, a detection unit, and at least one processor. The picture generation unit is configured to generate an image, and send image light of the image to the imaging reflector. The imaging reflector is configured to reflect the image light to generate a virtual image of the image. The detection unit is configured to collect first signal light transmitted through the imaging reflector, where the first signal light is light reflected by an eye of a user viewing the virtual image. The at least one processor is configured to determine a location of the eye of the user based on the first signal light collected by the detection unit, where a propagation direction of the image light reflected by the imaging reflector is parallel to a propagation direction of the first signal light.

Display device is disclosed herein, and may be implementable in a variety of contexts, including a motor vehicle (for example, the instrument cluster). A semi-transparent plane is essentially placed in between a display and a mechanical element member. This allows a virtual projection of information over the mechanical plane in an on-state, while the mechanical element shows non-indicia during the off state.

An integrated building display and shading system formed of a plurality of exterior building panels arranged in an array, each exterior building panel representing one pixel. A given pixel resides in a first state when a first excitation state is applied to the exterior building panel and can be changed to reside in a second state when a second excitation state is applied to the exterior building panel, thus allowing an image to be presented on the array. The excitation states are controlled by an electronic control system including a frame buffer and an illumination source. Different types of variable property glass can be used such that a first state is a transparent state and the second state is an opaque state or color state (e.g. red, green, blue). The integrated building display and shading system can be illuminated via natural light, or via UV light, or via a projector.

A mirror unit includes a mirror element configured to reflect external light entering from a front surface toward the front surface, and a display device configured to show an image. The display device includes a light source configured to emit light, and a light guide element configured to guide incident light from the light source. The light guide element includes an emission surface configured to output incident light, and a plurality of light focusing portions configured to form an image outside the light guide element. The mirror element and the light guide element arranged so that the light focusing portions form an image near the front surface of the mirror element.
