Method for operating a field-of-vision display device for a motor vehicle
A method for operating a field-of-vision display device for a motor vehicle, including an electrically controllable planar pixel assembly for generating a projection light beam having a display content and a reflection-suppressing deflection assembly, which is arranged on the planar pixel assembly and includes one or more flat reflection surfaces, extending along the planar pixel assembly at a predefined acute angle thereto and parallel to one another, for projecting the generated projection light beam onto a partially transparent, reflective projection pane, including a windshield of the motor vehicle, as a result of which a virtual display image shown in a field of vision of a user is generated behind the projection pane, wherein: the one or more reflection surfaces are each light-absorbing on the rear side thereof in order to suppress interfering reflection; at least one driving situation parameter is provided, in dependence on which different area segments of the planar pixel assembly are used to generate a desired display content.
Driver airbag module with lighting device, control method, and manufacturing method of same
A driver airbag module with a lighting device is proposed. The driver airbag module comprises an airbag cover, covering a driver airbag, configured to unfold toward a front space of a driver when the driver airbag is operated, wherein the airbag cover is located above the driver airbag. The airbag module further comprises the lighting device, wherein the lighting device comprises a plurality of lamps which are arranged to be spaced apart from each other, configured to emit light, located below the airbag cover, and coupled to the airbag cover such that the light emitted from the plurality of lamps is exposed to an upper space of the airbag cover. The airbag module further comprises a lighting controller configured to control flashing of the lighting device based on a driving condition of a vehicle, a charging status of a power source, and/or a driver condition.
LIGHT EMISSION DEVICE, CONTROL DEVICE AND MOBILE ENTITY
A light emission device is installed in a vehicle capable of changing a degree of involvement of a driver in surroundings monitoring during driving. A light emitter is configured to be located in a gaze stable field of view of the driver when an information display device is located in an effective field of view of the driver. The information display device is disposed on a side of a steering device in the mobile entity. The light emitter is configured to emit light in a manner according to the degree of involvement of the driver in the surroundings monitoring during driving.

DISPLAY APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE
A display apparatus for vehicle is disclosed. The display apparatus includes a first display and a second display located in a vehicle, a signal processing device including a processor configured to perform signal processing for the first display and the second display, and a second signal processing device including a second processor configured to perform signal processing for a third display, wherein the processor in the signal processing device is configured to execute first to third virtual machines on a hypervisor in the processor, and, in response to the signal processing device being operated as a master signal processing device, the first virtual machine in the processor is configured to share at least some of data with the second signal processing device for divided processing of data. Consequently, the plurality of signal processing devices for the plurality of displays in the vehicle may divide and process data.
INFORMATION NOTIFICATION SYSTEM, INFORMATION NOTIFICATION METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM
An information notification system displays a notification to a user of a vehicle on a display device. A first type notification is a notification of road traffic information on a road or traffic around the vehicle. A second type notification is a notification of information not belonging to the road traffic information or a notification that no road traffic information is available. The information notification system prohibits overlaying the first type notification and the second type notification when displayed on the display device. When the display device has only a single display area for displaying the notification, the information notification system selects and displays one of the first type notification and the second type notification in the single display area.
DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE, DISPLAY CONTROL SYSTEM, DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
A display control device is used in a vehicle provided with a plurality of displays each including one or more display regions. The display control device includes: a display region manager that manages a plurality of display regions that are the one or more display regions included in each of the plurality of displays. When the display region manager obtains, from an external terminal, a display request for displaying display data on a display region included in the plurality of display regions, the display region manager: creates a display region table collectively indicating display region information on at least one display region among the plurality of display regions; and outputs the display region table created to the external terminal.

Vehicle head-up display device and method
A vehicle head-up display device may include a plurality of first image generation parts embedded in a vehicle body, and configured to provide flat and stereoscopic images in multiple directions, a first optical induction part configured to guide an image signal, provided by the first image generation parts, in one direction, and a first display part configured to implement the image signal, provided by the first optical induction part, as an image recognizable by a driver, thereby implementing augmented reality of a head-up display.
IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE
The coordinates of a gaze point of an observer viewing an object outside a vehicle are detected using an output from an interior camera. A two-dimensional aerial image forms at a position corresponding to the gaze point in outside image data. The aerial image is displayed on a luminous display surface and appears with an optical system that can change a display position in the air in the depth direction. When the aerial image is viewable by the observer, the gaze point is at a position at which image data projected on a retroreflective screen can be perceived as a stereoscopic image.
