An electronic mirror device includes: a liquid crystal panel that displays an image; a linearly reflective polarizing layer that transmits a polarization component of incident light in a first direction and reflects a polarization component of the incident light in a second direction different from the first direction; a glass that transmits the incident light; and a PET film bonded to the glass. The linearly reflective polarizing layer is disposed between the liquid crystal panel and the PET film. The PET film contains polyethylene terephthalate and has a retardation value in a range of 2000 nm or more and 4000 nm or less. An angle between a slow axis of the PET film and a polarization reflection axis of the linearly reflective polarizing layer is 30 degrees or more and 60 degrees or less.

The disclosure relates to a driver assistance system for a motor vehicle, such as a truck. The driver assistance system includes an environment camera with an image sensor and an optical system. The driver assistance system also includes an imaging unit and a display element in the interior of the motor vehicle. The environment camera, the imaging unit, and the display element form a digital exterior mirror, where the digital exterior mirror is arranged such that at least two visual field regions, namely a first visual field region and a second visual field region, are mapped with different magnifications.

A vehicle camera device includes: a lid that opens and closes an opening of a camera accommodation chamber; a camera that is capable of being accommodated in the camera accommodation chamber and exposed from the opening when the opening is opened by a rotation of the lid; and a driving device that operates the camera and the lid, in which the camera has an image capturing posture when the camera captures an image of a portion below a reference axis, an accommodation posture when the camera is accommodated in the camera accommodation chamber, and the other postures different from the image capturing posture and the accommodation posture.

When a first object is first detected during a second display process executed when a second object is detected, a vehicle display control apparatus of the invention starts a first display at a first detection of the first object, stop the first display at a termination of the second display process and start the first display process at a start of the next second display process.

A display system for a vehicle is disclosed. The display system comprises a display device disposed in a passenger compartment of the vehicle. The display device comprises a screen. The display system further comprises a first imager configured to capture a first image data corresponding to a rearward directed field of view from the vehicle and a second imager configured to capture a second image data corresponding to a field of view of a passenger compartment of the vehicle. A controller of the display system is configured to display the first image data on a first portion of the screen and selectively display the second image data on a second portion of the screen in response to a detection of a display prompt.

A three-dimensional object detection device includes an image capturing unit, an image conversion unit, a three-dimensional object detection unit, a light source detection unit and a control unit. The image conversion unit converts a viewpoint of the images obtained by the image capturing unit to create bird's-eye view images. The three-dimensional object detection unit detects a presence of a three-dimensional object within the adjacent lane. The three-dimensional object detection unit determines the presence of the three-dimensional object within the adjacent lane-when the difference waveform information is at a threshold value or higher. The control unit set a threshold value higher so that the three-dimensional object is more difficult to detect in a forward area than rearward area with respect to a line connecting the light source and the image capturing unit when the light source has been detected.

[Problem] To provide a vehicle rearview mirror system which is capable of eliminating a circumstance that a driver feel a sense that something is wrong, even in a case where a screen of a display device is caused to one-to-one correspond with an aspect ratio of the vehicle rearview mirror, and the ratio of the display screen of the display device is made different from an aspect ratio of an image which is acquired by a vehicle-mounted camera. [Means for Solving the Problem] A vehicle rearview mirror system of the present invention has: a display device 9 to construct an image by an image signal having been output from an image receiving unit 2a of a vehicle-mounted camera 2 and then cause a display screen 9a to display the constructed image; and a vehicle mirror main body 3 in which the display device 9 is incorporated. A ratio between a width in a transverse direction and a width in a longitudinal direction of the screen 9a of the display device 9 is caused to one-to-one correspond to a ratio between a width in a transverse direction and a width in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle mirror main body 3, The display device 9 has a signal processing unit 11 which processes an image signal and then causes the display screen 9a to display a resultant image. Partway of a signal line SL between the image receiving unit 2a and the signal processing unit 11, there is provided an image signal clipping unit 17 to clip an image signal corresponding to an image portion which is unrequired for driving by the driver 4 from an image constructed by the image signal having been output from the image receiving unit 2a and then output the remaining image signals to the signal processing unit 11, The signal processing unit 11 constructs an image G1′ of a ratio one-to-one corresponding to a ratio of the display screen 9a by a remaining image signal having been input.

A camera wing system to a vehicle comprising such camera wing system and a method to operate such a camera wing system comprising at least one camera to record a scenery in a field of view of the camera and an illuminating system to emit light to illuminate the field of view of the camera, the camera being sensitive to the light emitted by the illumination system, wherein the illuminating system provides light to the scenery in one or more emission cones (EC), where the one or more emission cones are adaptable in emission direction (ED1, ED2) and/or cone angle (CA) depending on the driving situation (DS) of the vehicle in order to illuminate the scenery in the field of view being of interest for a driver due to the detected driving situation.

System and methods to provide an adaptive rear view display are disclosed. An example disclosed first vehicle includes a rear view camera and an adaptive display controller. The example adaptive display controller is to determine, with range detection sensors, a following-time of a second vehicle behind the first vehicle. The example adaptive display controller is also to determine a workload estimate associated with the first vehicle. Additionally, when the first vehicle is moving forward, the adaptive display controller is to selectively display video from the rear view camera based on the following-time, the workload estimate, and a user request.

In a first case a trimmed image generating section carries out trimming such that respective lateral direction lengths of a rear processed image and rear lateral processed images in the combined image are equal, and in a second case in which the trimmed image generating section judges that there is information that is included in the images of the first overlapping regions and is not included in the images of the second overlapping regions and information that should be included in the combined image, the trimmed image generating section carries out trimming such that the information that should be included in the combined image remains in the rear lateral processed images, and, as compared with the first case, the lateral direction length of the rear processed image in the combined image is short, and the lateral direction lengths of the rear lateral processed images in the combined image are long.
