A head up display arrangement is for a motor vehicle having a human driver. A windshield has a coating that reflects infra-red energy. A light source is positioned and configured to emit a light field such that the light field reflects off of the windshield and appears to the driver as a virtual image disposed outside of the windshield. An IR camera is positioned and configured to receive infra-red energy reflected by a face of the driver and reflected off the coating of the windshield.

A display system in a vehicle, and associated control method, which displays application information on a driver display screen portion and a passenger display screen portion of a vehicle display based on the seating position of the vehicle occupants in the vehicle and the identity of the vehicle occupants requesting the application information be displayed. The display system and method detects a change in the seating position of the vehicle occupants, and in response switches the display of the application information between the driver display screen portion and the passenger display screen portion of the vehicle display.

An image display device includes an acquisition unit that acquires two or more types of information, a detection unit that detects at least one of an acceleration, an orientation, and an angular velocity of the image display device, an image change section that determines a state of the image display device on the basis of a detection result of the detection unit, switches information, which is to be selected from the two or more types of information acquired by the acquisition unit, in accordance with the determined state of the image display device, and generates display data based on the switched information, and a display unit that displays the display data.

A head-up display device includes a housing, a projection unit projecting light representing an image, and an optical unit leading the light projected from the projection unit to a windshield of a vehicle. The optical unit includes a magnifying optical unit attached to the housing and reflecting the light toward the windshield, a screen attached to the housing and reflecting or transmitting the light toward the magnifying optical unit, and an incident angle changing unit changing an incident angle of the light that goes incident on the screen.

Provided are a projection type display device, a control method of a projection type display device, and a control program of a projection type display device, capable of being continuously used even in a case where a vehicle vibrates, and performing optimal display depending on the vibration. An HUD 100 includes a projection display section 50 that projects image light obtained by spatially modulating light emitted from a light source onto a combiner 12 to display a virtual image, a first vibration detector 61 that detects a first vibration of the combiner 12, a second vibration detector 62 that detects a second vibration of the projection display section 50, a third vibration detector 63 that detects a third vibration of the projection display section 50 with respect to the combiner 12 on the basis of the first vibration and the second vibration, and a display controller 64 that controls the image to be displayed by the projection display section 50. The display controller 64 changes a display format of content to be displayed by the projection display section 50 on the basis of the third vibration.

Provided is a technique that prevents excessive determination that control in a display control apparatus is abnormal. The display control apparatus includes an image acquisition unit, an image transmitter, and a controller. The controller determines, whenever necessary, on the basis of a second image that is output from the image transmitter and check data that is acquired in the image acquisition unit, whether the control in the display control apparatus is abnormal. The controller stops the determination until a predetermined time elapses from a first time point, the predetermined time being equal to or greater than a time from the first time point at which the check data is input to the controller to a second time point at which the second image is input to the controller.

The present disclosure relates to a method for providing a retreat space for the periodic recuperation of a person. In this case, the interior of a vehicle serves as the retreat space. Said vehicle may be a person's own passenger vehicle or a rented vehicle. Since the retreat space is only used for brief recuperation, e.g., during a lunch break, the space is prepared such that it can fulfill the recuperation requirements from the very start. For this purpose, a request message is sent to the vehicle, by means of which request message the vehicle is prepared as a retreat space for the person. Said preparation consists in configuring the vehicle interior, at least in terms of lighting and/or climatic conditions and/or entertainment facilities, to serve as a retreat space for the recuperation of said person at the reserved time in accordance with the request message. The vehicle may also receive a reservation request message from a service provider who provides vehicles for rent.

A touch pad includes a flat portion and a convex type three-dimensional portion having a hemispherical shape. An outer circumferential surface of the three-dimensional portion constitutes a spherical operation area. A second recognition unit of the touch-pad controller recognizes a gesture operation of at least two fingers to be the same gesture operation as a pinch-in operation in a planar operation area, in a case where movement trajectories of the at least two fingers in the spherical operation area are arc-shaped movement trajectories which are bulged outwardly in a case where the spherical operation area is viewed in a plan view.

A display device used for an electric vehicle including a motor, includes a first area indicating torque of the motor and a second area indicating a coil temperature of a coil included in the electric motor.

The present invention displays multiple images at different locations in the depth direction, while suppressing a decline in display quality, using projected light emitted from a single projector. A projector 20 emits first projection light L1 and second projection light L2 that have a first projection distance P1. A projection distance lengthening unit 251 having a negative refractive power is positioned along the path of the first projection light L1 between the projector 20 and a first screen 23, and causes an image to be formed on the first screen 23 by lengthening the projection distance P of the first projection light L1. A projection distance shortening unit 252 having a positive refractive power is positioned along the path of the second projection light L2 between the projector 20 and a second screen 24, and causes an image to be formed on the second screen 24 by lengthening the projection distance P of the second projection light L2.
