A display device includes light sources that emit light, a display panel that displays an image, and a light guide panel that guides the light emitted from the light sources to the display panel. The light guide panel includes an incident surface facing the light sources, an emission surface facing the display panel, a first reflective surface facing the incident surface, and a second reflective surface facing the emission surface. The first reflective surface has a concave shape that reflects light so that the reflected light becomes closer to parallel light when viewed in a facing direction of the display panel and the light guide panel in the light guide panel, is tilted at an angle larger than 0 degrees with respect to the incident surface, and intersects the second reflective surface at an angle smaller than 90 degrees.

An electronic mirror apparatus includes: a camera provided on a lateral surface of a vehicle, the camera being configured to pick up an image of a predetermined pickup range in a vehicle lateral direction and in a vehicle rearward direction; a display device disposed at such a position that a driver visually recognizes the display device; and an electronic control unit configured to perform a process for displaying the image picked up by the camera, on the display device, the electronic control unit being configured to display, on the image, an assist image expressing at least one of an outer part of a region where the vehicle occupies a road surface in planar view of the vehicle and an outside position a predetermined distance away from the outer part of the region where the vehicle occupies the road surface in planar view of the vehicle.

A display controller controls a display device provided for a mobile object to display a display image including at least one item of contents of data. The display controller includes an image data acquisition unit configured to obtain image data from an imaging device configured to capture an image around the mobile object, and a display-image generation unit configured to generate the display image. The display-image generation unit changes a display mode of the at least one item of contents of data included in the display image to increase visual recognizability of a desired item of contents of data included in the at least one item of contents of data to a level at least higher than visual recognizability of an area in the image data not including the desired item of contents of data.

Reflections from a display device are controlled using retarders arranged on the output side of a display panel which outputs light with a predetermined polarization state. First and second planes of incidence are defined in respect of first and second rays of light output from the device and first and second normals to first and second surfaces of optically transmissive material at first and second points at which the first and second rays of light are reflected. The retarders are selected to cause the polarization state of the first ray to be linearly polarized in a direction that is in the first plane of incidence, and to cause the polarization state of the second ray to be linearly polarized in a direction that is in the second plane of incidence. The reflections from the surfaces are minimized because for both surfaces the polarization direction is in-plane.

Systems and methods for improving the brightness of a transparent display are disclosed herein. One embodiment collects ambient light using an array of metasurface lenses disposed on an external surface of a vehicle; collects internal light from the vehicle's headlights; filters the ambient light and the internal light to produce filtered ambient light and filtered internal light; generates primary-source light using a light-emitting-diode (LED) light source; and injects, into a transparent edge-lit liquid crystal waveguide display deployed in at least a portion of a window of the vehicle, the primary-source light, the filtered ambient light, and the filtered internal light in a color-synchronized manner. The filtered ambient light and the filtered internal light improve the brightness of the transparent edge-lit liquid crystal waveguide display.

A laminated glazing has a first glass ply having first and second surfaces, a second glass ply having third and fourth surfaces, an obscuration band around at least a portion of the glazing periphery, the obscuration band having a sensor window and comprising first and second obscuration layers, the first obscuration layer adhered to at least a portion of the periphery of the first/second surface and comprising a first sensor window portion having a first sensor window portion optical distortion, the second obscuration layer adhered to at least a portion of the periphery of the third/fourth surface and comprising a second sensor window portion having a second sensor window portion optical distortion. first and second sensor window portion optical distortions are each controlled so the absolute magnitude of the optical distortion of the sensor window is lower than the absolute magnitude of the first and second sensor window optical distortions.

A head up display (HUD) system includes: a difference module configured to determine a speed difference based on a difference between (a) a present speed of a vehicle and (b) a target speed of the vehicle; a light source configured to, via a windshield of the vehicle, generate a virtual display that is visible within a passenger cabin of the vehicle; and a display control module configured to control the light source to include a visual indicator of the speed difference in the virtual display.

A camera monitoring system for a side region of a vehicle, includes an image-capturing unit for simultaneously capturing image data relating to a first ground region and relating to a second ground region on at least one side of the vehicle, and an image-analyzing unit, which is designed to separate image data relating to the first ground region from image data relating to the second ground region so as to enable independent display.

A display unit of the present invention includes a first display (head-up display) for displaying various information by irradiating a surface to be irradiated with video light and a control part for controlling the first display. The control part controls to display information on an inter-vehicle distance (bar graph), information on an inter-intersection (digital numerical value), an intersection image, and an arrow.

An object is to provide a projection image displaying member that enables display of a projection image using p-polarized light and can provide a head-up display system having high polarizing sunglasses suitability, a windshield, and a head-up display system. The object is achieved by a projection image displaying member having a transparent substrate having an in-plane retardation of 5000 nm or more and at least one selective reflection layer, wherein the selective reflection layer is located closer to the side on which projection light is incident than the transparent substrate is.
