Discussed is a liquid crystal display device that can include a backlight unit, a switching unit disposed on an upper side of the backlight unit and including a first twisted nematic (TN) switching cell configured to change light transmittance for a first direction between a first mode and a second mode and a second twisted nematic (TN) switching cell disposed on an upper side of the first TN switching cell, and an image display layer disposed on an upper side of the switching unit. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, by providing a liquid crystal display device having a triple cell structure including two TN switching cells and one image cell, a light output for a first direction can be effectively blocked in a second mode in which partial viewing angle blocking is needed.

Systems and methods are described for an adaptive user interface system for a vehicle with an automatic vehicle system. The adaptive user interface system includes a display and an electronic controller. The controller is configured to generate a graphical user interface indicative of operation of the automatic vehicle system, output the graphical user interface on the display, monitor an indicia of a driver's comfort level, and determine, based on the monitored indicia, when the driver is not comfortable with the operation of the automatic vehicle system. In response to determining that the driver is not comfortable with the operation of the automatic vehicle system, the electronic controller modifies the graphical user interface to provide an increased level of detail.

A drop in visibility of display information is prevented while securing a clear view outside a vehicle. A display information extracting unit is configured to extract a particular portion from display information, which is displayed on a transparent display provided in a vehicle, based on a color-by-color pixel count of the display information. A display information output unit is configured to output to the transparent display the display information in which the particular portion extracted by the display information extracting unit has been changed in luminance.

An apparatus for displaying a subject content to a user in a vehicle. The apparatus includes: a digital dashboard disposed in the vehicle, wherein the digital dashboard has a notification window thereon for displaying a notification to inform the user of a receipt of the subject content; and a destination display device also disposed in the vehicle, wherein, upon the user's selection, the destination display device is provided to display the subject content to the user. The font of the subject content is adjusted to fit the size of the destination display device.

An image capture device is mounted in a vehicle. The image capture device includes: an image capture unit; and a setting unit that sets an image capture condition for each region of the image capture unit each having a plurality of pixels, or for each pixel, based upon at least one of a state exterior to the vehicle and a state of the vehicle.

A device for control and/or command of a visual or thermal comfort element or security element of a building includes a display screen, and an electronic control unit provided with a communication module arranged so as to receive data, according to a wireless communication protocol, originating from a complementary communication module of a central entity arranged so as to control and/or command the at least one visual or thermal comfort element or security element. The central entity is arranged to employ and transmit to the electronic control unit representative data relating to the visual or thermal comfort to electrical consumption or to the security of the building. The electronic control unit generates a display configuration based on at least one datum of content and at least one display descriptive datum defining the arrangement of a display of the at least one datum of content.

A method, apparatus (11), vehicle (1), and computer program for detecting user inputs for controlling a vehicle (1). The method comprising: detecting a combination user input where the combination user input comprises a first gesture input detected by a first means for detecting user inputs and a second gesture input detected by a second means for detecting user inputs wherein the first means for detecting user inputs and the second means for detecting user inputs are provided on a steering wheel (3) of the vehicle (1); and enabling a function associated with the combination user input to be performed.

Included are: a gaze determining unit (102) for detecting the line of sight of an occupant on the basis of information acquired by a detected information acquiring unit (101) and, in a case where the detected line of sight of the occupant is located within a preset range, determining that the occupant is gazing ahead of the vehicle; and a display control unit (104) for performing display control of image information by using a display setting which suppresses the image information to be displayed for the occupant from being reflected on a preset area in a case where it is determined that the occupant is gazing ahead of the vehicle.

A display system includes a display, a plurality of speakers, and a control device that controls the display and the speakers. The display is configured to be able to simultaneously display video of main content and video of sub-content. The speakers are configured to output sound of the main content. The control device is configured to stop output of sound from a speaker on a side closer to the sub-content when video of the sub-content is desired to attract a user.

An information provision device, information provision method, and a non-transitory recording medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute the information provision method. Each of the information provision device and the information provision method includes projecting an image light to a light transmission member to display a for-driver information image indicating for-driver information to be provided to a driver of a mobile object in a prescribed display area, and displaying at a first point where a normal for-driver information image is displayed a priority for-driver information image in place of the normal for-driver information image, where the displaying includes displaying the normal for-driver information image at a second point different from the first point for at least some of a period during which the priority for-driver information image is displayed at the first point.
