This invention relates to a view angle adjustment mechanism that causes a view element tilting section holding a view element to be supported by a tilting support section via a plurality of concentric pivots having different diameters, to perform view angle adjustment. An inner pivot is assembled by forcible fitting using elasticity of either or both of a pivot convex and a pivot concave without screw fastening. An outer pivot includes a plurality of elastic pieces disposed at a plurality of positions in a circumferential direction of a curved surface of either or each of both of an outer-pivot convex surface and an outer-pivot concave surface. The outer pivot is assembled by the forcible fitting in the inner pivot. The assembly causes the plurality of elastic pieces to elastically abut on an opposed curved surface.

A HUD apparatus, that can achieve favorable AR display by reducing display shift between a real and virtual image, includes: an image input unit that receives an image from a camera and extracts a predetermined object; an information acquiring unit that acquires object information containing the object's position and distance information containing the object's distance in space; an AR image creating unit that creates an AR image for superimposing on the object; a display position converter uses the acquired information to correct a position of an AR display area that is a range where the AR image is displayable in a visual recognition area and a display position of the AR image inside the AR display area; an AR display that controls superimposing of the AR image on the visual recognition area from data after the correction; and a display that displays the AR image on the visual recognition area.

The display system includes a display system including an image-capturing apparatus including an image-capturing element; an image processing apparatus that performs image processing on the image; and a display apparatus including a display device that displays the image resulting from the image processing. The image processing apparatus includes an image processor that performs the image processing on a predetermined number of line images corresponding to a part of a frame image captured by the image-capturing element, sequentially outputs the image to the display apparatus per the predetermined number of line images, and causes the display apparatus to display the frame image; and a storage device that stores the predetermined number of line images until the frame image is completed. The image processor is configured to perform the image processing including frame unit processing on the predetermined number of line images associated with the frame image to be output.

A vision system for a vehicle includes a first imager located at a front portion of the vehicle, a second imager located at the rear of the vehicle, a third imager located in a first exterior rearview mirror assembly of the vehicle and a fourth imager located in a second exterior rearview mirror assembly of the vehicle. Responsive to the vehicle being shifted into a reverse gear, (a) video images derived from image data captured by the second imager are displayed on a video display screen and (b) responsive at least in part to processing of captured image data by a common image processor, the driver of the vehicle is alerted to the presence of an object exterior the equipped vehicle. When the vehicle travels forward, the common image processor processes first image data captured by the first imager for at least a lane departure warning system of the vehicle.

A head section for a rear view device for a motor vehicle includes a casing means including at least one housing section and a lid section arranged on a side of the housing section which faces away from a driving direction of the motor vehicle, at least one electronic unit arranged in a hollow area formed between the housing section and the lid section, a first rear view means for displaying an area of the motor vehicle, and a second rear view means for displaying a second are of the motor vehicle, where the second rear view means is arranged on the lid section, with the lid section and the second rear view means includes a combined, single-piece component, and where the lid section includes a polymeric substrate, which is coated with a chromium-based reflective coating.

A method for adjusting a power mirror supported by a tow vehicle attached to a trailer based on a position of the trailer allowing a driver of the tow vehicle to view an edge of the trailer is provided. The method includes receiving sensor system data from a sensor system positioned on a rear portion of the tow vehicle and receiving a current mirror angle associated with the power mirror. The method includes determining an adjusted mirror angle based on the current mirror angle and the received sensor system data. The method also includes transmitting instructions to the power mirror. The instructions causing the power mirror to adjust the current mirror angle to the adjusted mirror angle resulting in the power mirror maintaining a trailer edge within a field of view of the driver when looking at the power mirror.

An in-out motor changes a field of view of vehicle surroundings for a vehicle occupant. When a predetermined condition is satisfied before a predetermined change condition for changing the field of view is satisfied, an ECU controls the in-out motor via a mirror surface operation driver so as to change the field of view to a predetermined preparatory field.

A hanging system for displaying, storing, and protecting handbags. The hanging system comprises a curved holder, a mounting system, and protective cover. The system ensures handbags are protected and maintain their original integrity by providing for adequate aeration, proper positioning, and protection from dust and light. The channels on the holder may hold the handles of the cover in place. The holder may have aeration holes to prevent mold growth and moisture buildup on the stored handbag. In mounting the holder a spacer ensures the bags hang without interference from the environment. The hanging system may be mounted to various substrates in a variety of configurations compatible with horizontal and vertical orientation based on user preference.
