A vehicular display system is provided that is capable of achieving both display performance of images or videos and viewability as a window in a non-display mode. The vehicular display system includes: a window that is a transparent plate mounted on a vehicle; a liquid crystal unit that is arranged on the inner surface, in the inside/outside direction of the vehicle, of the window and has changeable levels of transparency; a projector that projects images or videos onto the liquid crystal unit; and a control unit that controls the liquid crystal unit and the projector, wherein the control unit controls the projector in a state of the liquid crystal unit being translucent, to cause the projector to project images or videos onto the liquid crystal unit.

A display system includes an imaging section, a display section, a selection section, an operation section, and a display control section. The imaging section is configured to image toward a rear and a side of a vehicle. The display section is configured to display an image captured by the imaging section. The selection section is configured to allow selection of a standard mode or a wide-angle mode. The operation section is configured to enable operation of one out of forward driving or reverse driving of the vehicle. The display control section includes RAM, and switches to whichever mode has been set out of the standard mode or the wide-angle mode immediately prior to the vehicle being driven in reverse in cases in which an operation to switch from reverse driving to forward driving of the vehicle has been performed using the operation section while in a reverse driving mode.

Vehicle display device (10) including a display unit (50), installed in a cabin of a vehicle and having a display face oriented in a different direction from a direction of a driver (DR), configured to display an image depicting a surrounding area of the vehicle, and a mirror unit (55) installed in the cabin of the vehicle and configured to reflect some or all of an image area displayed on the display unit (50). A visible range of the surrounding area visible to the driver through an image of the display unit (50) reflected in the mirror unit (55) changes according to movement of a viewing position of the driver (DR) with respect to the mirror unit (55).

There is provided an electronic mirror system including: a measuring section that a measures a brightness of a vehicle exterior; an imaging section that captures images of rear lateral sides of a vehicle; a display section; an operation section; and a display control section that, in a case in which the brightness measured by the measuring section is less than or equal to a set threshold value, and the vehicle is operated by the operation section so as to travel rearward, switches the imaging range of the imaging section to the second imaging range, and makes a luminous intensity of a dark portion, which is a portion within the display surface of an image displayed on the display surface and whose luminous intensity is lower than a set luminous intensity, be higher than a luminous intensity of the dark portion before the vehicle travels rearward.

A driving assistance system includes a first camera disposed in the vehicle and configured to capture a visible image; a second camera disposed in the vehicle and configured to capture an invisible image; a display device configured to display images to the driver; and a processor coupled to the first camera, the second camera, and the display device, the processor conducts a process of image fusion to combine the visible image and the invisible image to obtain a fused image; wherein the display device displays the fused image only when the clarity of the visible image falls below a preset threshold.

A periphery monitoring device according to an embodiment includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire captured image data from an image-capturing unit that captures a region including a road surface in a traveling direction of a vehicle and a region above the road surface; a storage unit configured to store the captured image data; and an image processing unit configured to display, in a case of displaying a peripheral image in the traveling direction of the vehicle on a display unit, a first region including a road surface on a under-floor portion of the vehicle or a road surface on a vicinity of the under-floor portion by using a corresponding image in past captured image data stored in the storage unit, and display a second region including the region above the road surface by using a corresponding image in current captured image data acquired by the acquisition unit.

Vehicle display device (10) including a display unit (50), installed in a cabin of a vehicle and having a display face oriented in a different direction from a direction of a driver (DR), configured to display an image depicting a surrounding area of the vehicle, and a mirror unit (55) installed in the cabin of the vehicle and configured to reflect some or all of an image area displayed on the display unit (50). A visible range of the surrounding area visible to the driver through an image of the display unit (50) reflected in the mirror unit (55) changes according to movement of a viewing position of the driver (DR) with respect to the mirror unit (55).

The operation of combinations of a vehicle and a trailer is to be rendered safer. For this purpose a method for reproducing images from backward cameras of a combination of a vehicle and a trailer is suggested. A first image (RV) from a first backward camera, which is arranged on the vehicle, and a second image (TR) from a second backward camera are simultaneously reproduced on a display unit in the vehicle. For the reproduction a predeterminable window (F) of the display unit is used in order to represent exclusively the second image (TR) from the second camera of the trailer.

An image acquisition unit acquires a first image corresponding to a rear view from a vehicle, a second image corresponding to a left view from the vehicle in a rearward direction, and a third image corresponding to a right view from the vehicle in the rearward direction. An image processor generates, when a speed is greater than or equal to a first threshold, an image by superimposing a fourth image on the second image and the third image, the fourth image resulting from preventing a first predetermined range corresponding to a lower portion of the first image from being displayed. The image processor generates, when the speed is less than a second threshold, an image by superimposing a fifth image on the second image and the third image, the fifth image resulting from preventing a second predetermined range corresponding to both end portions of the first image from being displayed.

A motor vehicle includes a rearview mirror display system with a visible surface and having a mirror mode and a display mode. The visible surface functions as a mirror in the mirror mode. The visible surface displays an electronically produced image in the display mode. An electronic processor is communicatively coupled to the rearview mirror display system. The electronic processor detects that the display mode is not operating properly, and, in response to the detecting, automatically switches the rearview mirror display system from the display mode to the mirror mode.
