A multi mode screen device for a vehicle, the device including a display screen unit with a display screen. The display screen unit is configured to switch an operational state between a first operational mode related to a manual vehicle driving functionality and a second operational mode related to an autonomous vehicle driving functionality. The display screen has a portrait orientation in the first operational mode and a landscape orientation in the second operational mode, and the display screen unit is adapted to be rotatably displaced between the portrait orientation and the landscape orientation.

The invention relates to a method for operating an interactive visibility screen on a transparent pane of a pane device, in particular in a motor vehicle. The visibility screen is generated by means of a display unit of the pane device on the pane by pixel-wise fade-in of opaque image points, wherein the image points form a coherent visibility screen area. In the method, an operational action by the user is first detected by means of a detection device, which comprises a selection of a setting range and a movement relative to the pane. Subsequently, an expansion of the visibility screen area at the setting range is set as a function of the detected movement by means of a control device.

A user interface device includes: an output device having an output region predefined around an output unit; an acquisition unit acquiring information about a user's gesture performed around the output region; and a controller determining an area of a shielded region which is shielded by the user's gesture in the output region based on the acquired information and controlling output of the output device.

A heads-up display may comprise a viewing screen having a reflective surface; a housing defining an opening; a display element disposed within the housing and comprising an integral linear polarizer configured to polarize light in a first direction; and a first linear polarizer disposed between the display element and the viewing screen covering the opening defined by the housing configured to polarize light in the first direction. The display element may be capable of causing images to be displayed on the viewing screen.

An optical arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a head up display light field emitter that emits a light field. At least one mirror is positioned to reflect the light field such that the light field is again reflected by a windshield of the vehicle, and such that the light field is visible to a driver of the vehicle as a virtual image. The at least one mirror has a transparent section. A driver monitoring camera is positioned to capture an image of a face of the driver through the transparent section of the at least one mirror.

There is provided a display device for a vehicle, the display device including: a display unit that is visible to an occupant of a vehicle; a memory; and a processor that is connected to the memory, the processor changing a content image displayed on the display unit so as to be displayed in the same direction as a direction in which a travel path of the vehicle curves.

A first input unit in a head-up display obtains a distance to an object. A second input unit obtains a user's eye position. An optical system projects, into the user's field of view, a virtual image of an image displayed on a display panel. A processor causes the display panel to display a parallax image. An optical element causes a first image displayed on the display panel to reach the user's first eye and a second image on the display panel to reach the user's second eye. The processor causes the display panel to display an image element in the parallax image as at least partially superimposed on the object. The processor performs first control to fix, in response to the distance to the object greater than or equal to a predetermined first distance, parallax of the image element to a value other than 0 corresponding to the first distance.

A head-up display includes a display panel, a reflective optical element, a controller, and an obtainer. The display panel displays a first image. The reflective optical element reflects image light from the first image displayed by the display panel. The controller controls a position at which the first image is displayed on the display panel. The obtainer obtains, as positional information, a position of an eye of a user. The controller changes the position at which the first image is displayed on the display panel in accordance with the positional information.

A head-up display is mountable on a movable body, and includes a first display panel, a reflective optical element, and an optical member. The first display panel displays a first image. The reflective optical element at least partially reflects image light from the first image displayed by the first display panel toward a user of the movable body. The optical member is between the display panel and the reflective optical element and is light transmissive. The display panel includes a surface facing a surface of the optical member. Each of the surface of the display panel and the surface of the optical member includes a reflection reduction layer to reduce light reflection.

A head-up display system includes a first projection module that projects a first image to display the first image in a forward direction not directly facing a user, a second projection module that projects a second image to display the second image in a forward direction directly facing the user, and a reflective optical element that reflects at least a part of the first image and at least a part of the second image.
