A control system of a smart glass for a vehicle, which changes a transmittance and displays an image, includes the smart glass provided on a glass of the vehicle and having a changed transmittance or an image displayed thereon; an operation member into which a mode of the smart glass is input; and a control unit electrically connected to the smart glass and the operation member and configured to adjust the transmittance of the smart glass according to the mode input into the operation member, or to control the smart glass so that the image is displayed through the smart glass.

Provided are an image processing method and an image processing device. The image processing method includes generating an image based on viewpoint information of a user; rendering the image based on information about what is in front of the user; and outputting the rendered image using an optical element.

An information display apparatus that displays image information on a vehicle includes a HUD apparatus projecting a large-scale virtual image onto a distant position and serving as a first information display apparatus 100 arranged between a windshield glass 6 of the vehicle and an instrument panel, and effectively displays a plurality of pieces of the image information by making coordination with a second information display apparatus 48 close to the windshield glass 6, the second information display apparatus causing a transparent dispersion sheet in the windshield glass to directly reflect a screen of a large-scale high-resolution image display panel so that the screen is observed by the driver.

An information display device that displays image information as a virtual image on a projection surface, the device including: an opening portion at a part of the housing, image light generating means for generating image light, image light processing means for performing a predetermined optical process on the image light, and image projecting means for projecting the image light such that a viewer can recognize the image information as the virtual image in front of the projection surface, and an optical element in which a reflective polarizing plate is fixed to a substrate having a transmissive property with an adhesive agent or with a pressure-sensitive adhesive agent is provided in a part of an optical path inside the housing, as means for selectively reflecting a P-polarized light component of light in a visible light region, and a moisture-proof film is provided on a surface of the reflective polarizing plate.

A system for controlling a vehicle display based on an occupant's gaze includes: a first occupant gaze recognition unit to recognize a gaze of a first occupant in a vehicle; a second occupant gaze recognition unit to recognize a gaze of a second occupant in the vehicle; an interest information display area crossover confirmation and priority determination unit to determine interest information from the gaze of the first occupant and the gaze of the second occupant, to confirm whether areas for displaying interest information on a windshield are mutually crossover with each other, and to determine a priority for display; and a display control unit to control a display in accordance with the priority for display.

Disclosed is a system for controlling a vehicle display. The system includes a display and processors that confirm an external interest information of a first occupant in a vehicle; and a display controller that performs control to display the external interest information of the first occupant through the vehicle display.

A system for controlling a vehicle includes: an occupant gaze recognition unit to recognize a gaze of an occupant in the vehicle; a point of interest determination unit to determine the point of interest among an external object visible through a side window of the vehicle based on the gaze of the occupant; and a seat position control unit to change a seat position of the occupant to enable a continuous stare at the point of interest according to a movement of the vehicle.

In a display control device, in a case in which a total number of image pages displayable at a meter display is equal to or less than a predetermined value, the display control device displays a same number of dots as the total number of image pages, and displays a page indicator that specifies a dot corresponding to the displayed image page. Further, in a case in which the total number of image pages exceeds the predetermined value, a page indicator is displayed in which a cursor is arranged at a position corresponding to the displayed image page together with a scroll bar. As a result, even if the total number of image pages is large, the display of the page indicator is not complicated.

In a vehicle display device, a locking mechanism has a first support part that supports a first end of a display panel and a second support part located at a position relatively different from the first support part. The second support part has a pair of urging portions that urge the display panel in a support state, and a first receiving portion that receives a lower surface of a second end of the display panel. Each of the urging portions is formed curving in an S shape when viewed from the optical axis direction, and a distal end portion formed at an end opposite to the fixed end portion has a second receiving portion that protrudes from an abutting surface toward the display panel and interposes the second end of the display panel between the second receiving portion and the first receiving portion, in the support state.

A light control system for a windshield can change a visible light transmittance of an upper part and a non-upper part of each of a front windshield, a right side windshield, and a left side windshield. A controller that controls a change includes a mode changing unit that changes a mode depending on whether a vehicle is not in a driving state or in a driving state. When the vehicle is not in a driving state, a change of reducing the visible light transmittance of the upper part and the non-upper part to be lower than a predetermined value is permitted. When the vehicle is in a driving state, a change of reducing the visible light transmittance of the upper part to be lower than the predetermined value is permitted and a change of reducing the visible light transmittance of the non-upper part to be lower than the predetermined value is prohibited.
