The dual-mode interior rearview mirror assembly is operable in a mirror mode and a display mode. With the vehicle traveling along a road, and with the dual-mode interior rearview mirror assembly operating in the display mode, a video display screen displays video images derived at least in part from image data captured by the rearward-viewing camera, the driver-side camera and/or the passenger-side camera. The video display screen displays at least passenger-side video images of a passenger-side region sideward and rearward of the passenger side of the vehicle until a period of time elapses following a passenger exiting the vehicle from a passenger seat of the vehicle.

A display device includes a housing, a variable reflectance element, a display to display at least a portion of a rearward image, a display device control circuit, and an actuator to switch the variable reflectance element between first and second postures. In the first posture, the display displays the portion of the rearward image. In the second posture, the display displays the rearward image. In the second posture, the reflectivity of the incident light varies between first and second values of a first and a second illuminance, respectively. The first illuminance indicates brightness around a vehicle and is detected by a sensor. The second illuminance indicates intensity of light emitted on a front surface of the display device and is detected by another sensor. When the display displays at least the portion of the rearward image, the display is visible to a driver through the variable reflectance element.

A vehicular display assembly includes a pixelated display having a plurality of micro-LEDs disposed at a substrate. Packing density of micro-LEDs of the plurality of micro-LEDs at the substrate is at least 10 micro-LEDs per square centimeter. Each individual micro-LED of the plurality of micro-LEDs, when the vehicular display assembly is operated to emit light, may pass less than 4 mA electrical current. The vehicular display assembly is configured to be disposed at a portion of a vehicle equipped with the vehicular display assembly. With the vehicular display assembly disposed at the portion of the equipped vehicle, light emitted by the plurality of micro-LEDs, when the vehicular display assembly is operated to emit light, is viewable at the portion of the equipped vehicle.

A display device includes a housing, an electro-optic layer, a display to display at least a portion of a rearward image, and an actuator to switch the electro-optic layer between first and second postures. In the first posture, the display displays the portion of the rearward image. In the second posture, the reflectivity of the incident light varies between at least first and second values based on at least one of a first illuminance or a second illuminance, and the second value is larger than the first value. In the first posture, the reflectivity of the incident light is equal to or more than the second value. The first illuminance indicates brightness around a vehicle and is detected by a sensor. The second illuminance indicates intensity of light emitted on a front surface of the display device and is detected by another sensor.

A full display mirror assembly for a vehicle includes an electro-optic assembly containing an electro-optic medium, a display module, and at least one imager module configured to capture a blind spot. A processor and a memory including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to, in response to a detection of an object in the blind spot, generate a first warning indicia in a first region of the full display mirror assembly. The processor is further caused to, in response to a detection that a vehicle containing the full display mirror assembly is turning or about to turn towards the blind spot with the object, generate a second warning indicia in a second region of the full display mirror assembly by enlarging the first region.

A driving support device wherein an own vehicle and a peripheral vehicle are symbolized, and relative dispositions are displayed in real time in a display unit visible to the driver, is obtained to facilitate a lane change by a driver. The driving support device includes a vehicle detecting unit, which detects peripheral vehicles positioned in a periphery of a vehicle, and an image generating unit, which generates an image representing positions of the vehicle and the peripheral vehicles from vehicle information obtained by the vehicle detecting unit. The image generating unit generates a driving support image including vehicle information representing relative dispositions of the vehicle and the peripheral vehicles using symbols indicating the vehicle and the peripheral vehicles. The image generating unit includes an image stacking unit, which generates original data of the driving support image, and an image control unit, which cuts a necessary portion from the original data.

An image display method includes the following steps: capturing images via an imager; detecting whether at least one obstacle is present via a telemetry device and, if the at least one obstacle is present, receiving distance data between the detected obstacle and the vehicle; determining whether the quality of visibility outside the vehicle is below a defined threshold; and determining whether predefined conditions representative of a hazard for the vehicle are met. The predefined conditions include at least the received distance data. The method includes, if the predefined conditions representative of a hazard are met and if the visibility quality is below the defined threshold, displaying the captured images on an area of the display screen and superimposing, on these captured images, in real time, at least one synthesis image to signal the detected obstacle.
