A vehicle display device includes an indicator that luminously displays a display image on its screen by lighting and stops the luminous display of the display image by extinction, and a display panel that includes a light shielding part on a rear surface of the display panel. The light shielding part light-shields a surrounding part of a transmitting window, through which an image light of the display image is transmitted to be capable of being visually recognized from a front side. A transmission region of a front surface of the display panel that is located at least on the front side of the transmitting window is occupied by a planar part that is formed in a flat surface shape along the screen, and a plurality of projecting surface parts that project from the planar part into a curved projecting surface shape. An area occupancy of the planar part at the transmission region is adjusted to be equal to or larger than an area occupancy of all the plurality of projecting surface parts at the transmission region.

A display device for a vehicle includes a display unit, a display layer, and a light guide.

An electro-optic assembly includes a first partially reflective, partially transmissive substrate defining a first surface and a second surface. A second partially reflective, partially transmissive substrate defines a third surface and a fourth surface. A space is defined between a first substrate and a second substrate. A seal is disposed about a perimeter of the first and second substrates. An electro-optic material is disposed between the second surface of the first substrate and the third surface of the second substrate. The electro-optic assembly is operable to change at least one of a reflectance state and a transmittance state in either a discrete or continuous manner. A transparent electrode coating is disposed between the second surface and the third surface. The transparent electrode coating includes an insulator layer, metal layer, and insulator layer (IMI) structure. The reflectance off of the transparent electrode coating is less than about 2%.

A vehicle lighting control system for controlling headlights of a vehicle and a display device comprises an illuminance detector for detecting an illuminance outside of the vehicle, and a lighting controller for controlling luminances of the headlights and the display device based on the detected illuminance. The lighting controller includes a headlight controlling module for turning the headlights off when the illuminance is above a first threshold, and turning the headlights on when the illuminance is the first threshold or below, and a display device controlling module for controlling the luminance of the display device to a first set value when the illuminance is above a second threshold, and controlling the luminance of the display device to a second set value when the illuminance is the second threshold or below, the second threshold being lower than the first threshold, the second set value being lower than the first set value.

An image generation device for generating an image for a head-up display includes: a first light source; a second light source disposed to be spaced apart from the first light source by a certain distance; a lens that transmits light emitted from the first light source and the second light source; and a display device that forms light that generates the image from the light transmitted through the lens. The lens is constituted by a first region that transmits first light from the first light source, and a second region that transmits second light from the second light source, and a light shield is further provided to prevent the first light from transmitting through the second region and prevent the second light from transmitting through the first region.

A display device includes a transparent display screen element, which has a front side and a rear side opposite to the front side, and a polarizing element arranged flatly on the rear side of the transparent display screen element. The polarizing element is to attenuate light output by at least one lighting element of the transparent display screen element. A motor vehicle may have such a display device, in particular where the display device may be arranged freestanding at or on an interior trim element of the motor vehicle.

The present disclosure relates to a display device. The display device may be used for a vehicle and may include a display panel, a window, and a first light control layer. The display panel includes pixels arranged along a first direction and a second direction crossing the first direction. The window is disposed on the display panel. The first light control layer is disposed between the display panel and the window and including first photochromic lines. The first photochromic lines extend in the first direction and are arranged along the second direction and include a photochromic material.

A control system includes: an image processing circuit; a first error detection circuit configured to perform first error detection on second image data; a first error code value generation circuit configured to generate a first error code value based on the second image data; a transmission interface circuit; a reception interface circuit; a second error code value generation circuit configured to generate a second error code value based on the second image data; a second error detection circuit configured to perform second error detection based on the first error code value and the second error code value; and a control circuit configured to output a control signal when an error is detected in at least one of the first error detection and the second error detection.

A vehicle-mounted display device includes a software switch region in which a first transparent resin layer, a symbol and design printed layer, a smoke printed layer, a first touch sensor sheet, and a diffusion sheet are layered in order from the front side toward the back side, and a liquid crystal touch panel region in which a second transparent resin layer, a second touch sensor sheet, and a liquid crystal sheet are layered in order from the front side toward the back side. Since the software switch region includes the diffusion sheet, not only is it possible to ensure the visibility when sunlight shines, but it is also possible to prevent the internal structure from being seen when the light source is turned off, thus enhancing the quality of the external appearance.

A cabin monitoring system for a vehicle includes a video display screen disposed in a cabin of the vehicle so as to be viewable by a driver of the vehicle. A camera assembly is disposed at a ceiling of the cabin of the vehicle and includes a camera having an imager and a lens, with the camera having a field of view that encompasses a rear seat area of the vehicle. An illumination device is operable to illuminate the rear seat area encompassed by the field of view of the camera. The illumination device, when operated, illuminates the rear seat area and the camera captures image data representative of the illuminated rear seat area. The image data captured by the camera is provided to the video display screen for displaying video images for viewing by the driver of the vehicle.
