A head-up display device, a method for controlling the same, and a vehicle are provided. The head-up display device includes a display component, a first optical component, a second optical component, and a synthesizing component. The light in different polarization directions or states can be transmitted or reflected by the first optical component, so that state information projection light and augmented reality information projection light can be separated from each other to thereby be dual-layer displayed. For example, augmented reality information can be displayed at a longer distance from eyes of a driver so that the focus of the human eyes does not need to be adjusted frequently to thereby make it comforter to view the information so as to eliminate a hidden risk.

An information display system configured to unidirectionally display an image to inside or outside of a space via a transparent projected member provided in the space includes an image projection apparatus arranged inside the space and configured to generate and project image light by modulating a light flux from a light source, a transparent sheet provided on an inner surface of a display region set on a part of the projected member, and a light direction changing panel configured to change a direction of the image light from the image projection apparatus toward the transparent sheet of the display region, and the transparent sheet includes a retardation plate, an absorption type polarization plate that absorbs a specific polarized wave, and a transparent diffusion sheet material having a light diffusion function, and projects the image light whose direction has been changed by the light direction changing unit to the inside or the outside of the space.

Unfortunately, even when a new area, which cannot be recognized from the parking start position, is detected in the surrounding area as the vehicle travels on the parking route, the new area cannot be used effectively as the parking route. In step S304, when there is an area for extending the parking route in the newly detected area, the route is determined to be extensible. In step S305, it is determined whether the vehicle can be parked with one turnabout without extending the route, and when it is determined that the vehicle cannot be parked with one turnabout, the process proceeds to step S307 to perform the route extension process. When the posture of the vehicle at the turning point does not exceed a predetermined value in step S306, the process also proceeds to step S307. In step S307, route information for extending the parking route from the turning point in the route information toward the newly detected available area is generated based on the route information output in step S302, the surrounding area information and the own-vehicle position information output in step S303.

An image display device includes a display panel, a barrier panel, and a controller. The display panel is configured to be able to form a first display region, to be able to display a right-eye image in a right-eye visible region of the first display region and display a left-eye image in a left-eye visible region of the first display region. The barrier panel is configured to be able to form a first barrier region and to form a light-transmitting portion and a dimming portion in the first barrier region. The controller is configured to display a portion located in the first display region as one parallax image frame including two sub-frames. The controller is configured to form the dimming region in the entire first barrier region during a frame change period including a timing of changing a display from the parallax image frame to a new parallax image frame.

A mirror device includes: a mirror including a rotation shaft; a gear unit having gear teeth and coupled to the rotation shaft; a worm that meshes with the gear teeth; a holding member that supports the worm; a motor configured to rotationally drive the rotation shaft via the worm and the gear teeth; and a stopper mechanism (16) that has a rotating member disposed coaxially with the worm, and restricts a rotation range of the worm, in which the stopper mechanism includes: a first contact portion that is provided on the rotating member and comes in contact with the worm to receive force in the rotation direction from the worm; and a second contact portion that is provided on the rotating member and is locked by the holding member, the stopper mechanism being configured to allow the worm to rotate relative to the holding member by more than one rotation.

A display device and an imaging system are provided. The display device includes a double-sided display module, a reflective component, and a curved mirror. The double-sided display module includes first and second light-exiting surfaces. In a first direction, light emitted from the first light-exiting surface is projected to a first position on the curved mirror. The reflective component at least reflects light emitted from the second light-exiting surface to a second position on the curved mirror. In a second direction, the curved mirror reflects the light emitted from the first light-exiting surface and the light emitted from the second light-exiting surface and reflected by the reflective component, to form a first virtual image and a second virtual image. Along the first direction, the first virtual image is spaced apart from the second virtual image, and the first direction intersects the second direction.

A display or light blocking screen includes a liquid crystal (LC) array layer having a plurality of LC pixels, and a transparent LED layer having a plurality of LED pixels. A controller is operatively connected to the LC array layer and the transparent LED layer. The controller is configured to selectively trigger emission of light from a selection of the LED pixels, and to selectively darken a selection of the LC pixels that correspond directly to the selection of LED pixels. Therefore, the emitting LED pixels and the darkened LC pixels match and light is emitted from the LED pixels in substantially the opposite direction of the LC array layer. The display screen, or different aspects thereof, may be operatively incorporated into one or more windows of a vehicle, may be a standalone unit, or may be incorporated into a building.

A method for operating a display arrangement of a motor vehicle, which includes at least two display devices each with a display surface. A visible display content can be shifted here three-dimensionally between two display planes. A detection and evaluation device of an operator control device carries out: acquisition of an operator control action by a touch-sensitive operator control surface, preferably a pulling and/or shifting gesture, and of its extension direction, and, on the basis of the determined extension direction, determination of a data set which describes the display content, as well as determination of a predetermined shift of a virtual image of the display content from one of the display planes to the other of the display planes.

A head-up display device includes: a reflection member disposed in front of a driver who drives a vehicle; a projection unit configured to project light toward the reflection member and display a virtual image in a region superimposed on a superimposing display target when viewed by the driver; and an imaging unit configured to take an image of a region in front of the vehicle to generate a front image that is an image of the region in front of the vehicle. The projection unit adjusts a luminance distribution of a virtual image in accordance with a luminance distribution of a region of the superimposing display target in the front image.

A vehicular apparatus is provided in which a plurality of operating systems each perform a display on a display device. The vehicular apparatus includes a controller unit. The controller unit is configured to implement a virtual environment to operate the plurality of operating systems. The controller is further configured to monitor and detect a malfunction in the display performed on the display device in the virtual environment, and to shield a display area where an incorrect display may be performed in response to the malfunction being detected.
