A control method is performed by an information display system displaying information on one or more display units included in a vehicle. The information display system executes guidance processing for guiding a line of sight of a driver of the vehicle toward a display unit which is not in the line of sight. The control method including: obtaining vicinity information indicating a state of vicinity of the vehicle from a device outside the vehicle; determining whether or not the driver should pay more attention to the state of the vicinity indicated in the vicinity information than the information displayed on the one or more display units; and executing control for suppressing the guidance processing when it is determined that the driver should pay more attention to the state of the vicinity than the information displayed on the one or more display units.

A method for processing data for display on a screen involves encoding, using a first colour space, a first portion of image data intended to be displayed on a first area of the screen and encoding, using a second colour space, a second portion of image data intended to be displayed on a second area of the screen. The encoded first and second portions of the image data are compressed, and transmitted over a link for display on the screen. By using different colour spaces to encode image data that is displayed in different parts of a screen, differences in a users vision and/or aberrations caused by display equipment may be accounted for and so provide an improved user experience. Using different colour spaces for different screen areas may also reduce the amount of data that needs to be transmitted, for example by encoding image data more effectively and/or allowing more efficient compression of data.

A display apparatus comprising: first light source(s) per eye, scanning mirror(s) per eye, pattern converting element per eye, and processor(s) configured to control first light source(s) to emit a light beam, whilst controlling scanning mirror(s) to draw subframe(s) of first image frame over pattern converting element, wherein subframe(s), when drawn, comprises plurality of light spots arranged in first pattern, wherein pattern converting element is employed to direct light beam incident thereon towards target surface, whilst converting first pattern of plurality of light spots into second pattern, thereby producing on target surface output image having spatially-variable resolution.

A display apparatus controlling method includes accepting input of a first image signal representing a first image, generating a second image signal by applying a first process of rotating the first image to the first image signal in accordance with the amount of rotation of the display apparatus calculated based on an output signal from an inertial sensor fixed to the display apparatus, and displaying on a display surface a display image corresponding to a second image based on the second image signal.

This disclosure describes efficient communication of surface texture data between system on a chip (SOC) integrated circuits. An example system includes a first integrated circuit and a second integrated circuit communicatively coupled to the first integrated circuit by a video communication interface. The first integrated generates a superframe in a video frame of the video communication interface for transmission to the second integrated circuit. The superframe includes multiple subframe payloads that carry surface texture data to be updated in the frame and corresponding subframe headers that include parameters of the subframe payloads. The second integrated circuit includes a direct access memory (DMA) controller. The DMA upon receipt of the superframe, writes the surface texture data within each of the subframe payloads directly to an allocated location in memory based on the parameters included in the corresponding one of the subframe headers.

A head-up display and a method for operating a head-up display for a motor vehicle. Virtual objects may be assigned to parts of the environment of the motor vehicle, where a virtual reference feature is obtained, the orientation of which is defined on the basis of a roadway that is or can be used by a vehicle. An orientation of the motor vehicle may be determined in relation to the virtual reference feature. A virtual object may be displayed when the part of the environment to which it is assigned lies within a field of view for the head-up display, wherein a horizontal position of the object that is displayed is defined in the field of view on the basis of the relative orientation to the virtual reference feature.

A head-up display device is provided in a vehicle together with a headlamp. The head-up display device includes a light source, a control unit, and a projection unit. The light source emits white light whose correlated color temperature is changeable. The control unit adjusts the correlated color temperature of the white light emitted from the light source. The projection unit forms image light by the white light emitted from the light source. The projection unit projects the image light onto a projection target member disposed in front of a driver of the vehicle, thereby displaying a virtual image superimposed on a landscape for the driver. The control unit adjusts the correlated color temperature of the white light emitted from the light source in accordance with a correlated color temperature of irradiation light emitted from the headlamp.

A vehicle display system is provided in a vehicle and includes: a first display device configured to project a light pattern onto a road surface outside the vehicle; a second display device inside the vehicle configured to display a predetermined image to an occupant of the vehicle such that the predetermined image is superimposed on a real space outside the vehicle; and a controller configured to control the first display device and the second display device. In a case where both the predetermined image and the light pattern are displayed, the controller causes a distance from the occupant to the predetermined image to match a distance from the occupant to the light pattern.

A display system defining an expected position for a user with respect to a screen having first and second segments positioned so as to never simultaneously fall at least partially within a targeted field of view when the user is at the expected position, the system comprising: an image generator paired with a first projector covering the first segment and a second projector covering the second segment, the image generator being configured to generate a first image to be projected on the first segment and a second image to be projected on the second segment; a first module for determining that the first segment falls at least partially within the targeted field of view; and a second module for controlling hardware resources of the image generator to prioritize the generation of the first image when the first segment falls at least partially within the targeted field of view.

A vehicular display control device including: memory; and a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to: detect when a right-side operation region provided on a right side of a steering wheel has been operated; detect when a left-side operation region provided on a left side of the steering wheel has been operated; in a case in which operation of the right-side operation region has been detected, display a right-side image corresponding to the right-side operation region in a right-side area of a display region set in front of a driving seat; and in a case in which operation of the left-side operation region has been detected, display a left-side image corresponding to the left-side operation region in a left-side area of the display region.
