An in-vehicle display system includes: display apparatuses that are mounted in a vehicle; and a single control apparatus that is configured to generate image information, output the image information to assigned one of the display apparatuses, and cause a display apparatus assigned to display the image information. A certain display apparatus that is at least one of the display apparatuses includes a first detection portion configured to detect malfunction, a second detection portion configured to detect malfunction of the control apparatus, a transmission portion configured to transmit detection information indicating the malfunction of the certain display apparatus, and a substitute control portion configured to acquire a vehicle signal, generate image information, and display the image information. The control apparatus includes an output control portion configured to output the image information assigned to the certain display apparatus, and cause the different display apparatus to display the image information.

A vehicle display device includes a display configured to show a first screen and a second screen and circuitry configured to control a position of a cursor on the first screen, on the second screen, and between the first and second screens. The circuitry moves the cursor from the first screen to the second screen if the cursor is located in a peripheral region when the user performs an operation to move the cursor from the first screen to the second screen. The circuitry restricts movement of the cursor from the first screen to the second screen if the cursor is located outside the peripheral region when the user performs an operation to move the cursor from the first screen to the second screen.

An indicator system for outdoor power equipment, such as a riding lawn mower, may include an illuminating element around the perimeter of a display screen. The illuminating element may be configured to illuminate in a predetermined manner based on a predefined condition occurring in order to alert the operator to the display screen. The display screen may be configured to display more detail about the predefined condition while the illuminating element is illuminated.

In a method for adjusting a display device and a motor vehicle having such a display device, the display device is arranged on a dashboard of the motor vehicle. The display device has at least two rimless screens. Each of the screens is connected to the dashboard by an adjustment element. The respective adjustment element can move the respective screens into a plurality of adjustment positions in all spatial directions. In a combined adjustment position, the screens are arranged as a combined display surface, and the screens are designed to display a uniform display image on the combined display surface. In at least one separated adjustment position, a first screen is assigned to a driver's position and a second screen is assigned to a passenger's position.

An operating apparatus includes: a first display; a second display; and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to output a second image onto the second display. The electronic control unit is configured to output a first image onto the first display. The electronic control unit is configured to switch between the first mode and the second mode. In a first mode, a first mode image independent of the second image is output as the first image. In the second mode, a second mode image having the same appearance as the second image is output as the first image. The electronic control unit is configured to execute a first predetermined function in the first mode and a second predetermined function in the second mode.

An information presentation device, mounted on a vehicle for which automatic evacuation control functions when it is difficult for a driver to continue driving the vehicle, and presenting information to an occupant of the vehicle except the driver by a display in a display area that is visually recognizable by the occupant, includes: an operation information acquisition unit that acquires operation information of the automatic evacuation control; and a display generation unit that generates an occupant notification display that is displayed in the display area to notify information relating to the automatic evacuation control when the automatic evacuation control is in operation. The occupant notification display includes: an explanatory image that shows an explanation of a process executed currently; and a progress image that indicates a degree of progress in the automatic evacuation control.

Embodiments herein relate to a method for handling a driver's use of an object displaying device comprised in a vehicle. The driver's use of the object displaying device is monitored. Based on the monitoring, a likelihood that the driver has detected a representation of the object when using the object displaying device is determined. The representation of the object is visible to the driver in the object displaying device, and the object is located in the surroundings of the vehicle.

A vehicle information display system and an instrument panel assembly configured to project vehicle information onto the windshield or on a meter panel is provided. The information display system and the instrument panel assembly utilizes a single electronic display to either display vehicle information on the meter panel or to project vehicle information onto the windshield so as to reduce the number of components needed to perform both functions, and thus reduce packaging space. The electronic display and a first panel are rotatably mounted to the first display opening so as to alternatively cover the first display opening, wherein in a first mode of operation the electronic display is disposed within the first display opening and in a second mode of operation the first panel is disposed within the opening and the vehicle information is projected onto the windshield.

Embodiments can provide a dynamic housing system in a transportation apparatus for facilitating a user or users of the transportation apparatus to place portable devices of different sizes into the dynamic housing. The dynamic housing may comprise a device detector configured to detect a presence of a portable device in the housing, a Bluetooth connection unit configured to connect to the portable device via a Bluetooth link when the portable device is detected as being present in the dynamic housing and/or any other components. In some embodiments, the dynamic housing may be a sliding small drawer on a dashboard of the transportation apparatus.

In a vehicle image display system, a travel behavior of an own vehicle during automated driving to be subsequently performed is previously noticed to an occupant with display to be recognized intuitively and instantaneously. A vehicle image display system includes a first display device that uses a front windshield as a display screen and a second display device as a monitor device mounted on a dashboard, and displays, on a display screen of each display device, a moving image of a virtual image of the own vehicle travelling on an arrow of a symbol image indicating a travel course for lane change as having the arrow as a trajectory therefor so as to visually provide prior notice of the lane change to the occupant when the own vehicle in the automated driving system is about to perform the lane change as being deviated from a scheduled travel course.
