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.

A display apparatus of the present disclosure makes association between an image to be displayed in a superimposed manner and an image to be displayed in a non-superimposed manner, when displaying a first image and a second image having the same meaning, while switching between superimposed display and non-superimposed display, thereby, allowing drivers to recognize their association immediately when switching between the superimposed display and the non-superimposed occurs. As a result, AR display that is immediately understandable by drivers while not interrupting driving can be realized.

A picture generation unit (PGU) used in a head-up display (HUD) includes a printed circuit board (PCB) having a plurality of light sources, a display unit disposed in front of the plurality of light sources and configured to form an image to be provided to the HUD, and a housing disposed between the PCB and the display unit and including an internal reflective structure configured to guide optical beams from the plurality of light sources to the display unit and to homogenize a light intensity of the optical beams incident on the display unit, wherein the internal reflective structure includes a plurality of first funnels respectively disposed of corresponding to the plurality of light sources, and a second funnel disposed of as a singular funnel in front of the first funnels in a form encompassing the plurality of first funnels.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for providing cluster information using a three-dimensional (3D) image. The apparatus for providing the cluster information using the 3D image according to the present invention includes an input unit configured to receive display mode setting information and driving information, a memory configured to store a cluster information providing program that uses a 3D image, and a processor configured to execute the cluster information providing program, wherein the processor controls a light source disposed in a cluster according to the display mode setting information to display the driving information.

Systems and methods are provided herein for presenting information in a vehicle. In one example, a method includes determining a route from a source location to a destination location, obtaining one or more features of the route, augmenting a map of the route with the one or more features to generate an augmented map, and displaying the augmented map on a windshield of the vehicle.

An object of the present invention is to display a list of traffic information of a plurality of lanes. A map display device of the present invention includes a traffic information acquisition unit that acquires traffic information for a road including a plurality of lanes for each lane, and a display control unit that creates a road map image that represents a road for each lane using map data having lane link data, and causes a display device mounted on a vehicle to display thereof, in which the display control unit superimposes the traffic information on the corresponding lane in the road map image.

An HUD system, includes at least one first HUD device, namely an AR-HUD device, with at least one first image source for displaying a first image produced by at least one hologram in a first display section of a display region and at least one second HUD device with at least one second image source for displaying a second image produced using geometric projection optics in a second display section of the display region.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for projecting images and/or video data through the head lights of vehicles, especially head lights of assisted driving vehicles.

The apparatus comprises: an entertainment system; a head light having at least a Digital Light Processing (DLP) unit integrated therein; a control unit configured to receive images and video data from the entertainment system and control the DLP unit to project at least an image and/or a video content through the head light.

A method operates a visual field display device, in particular for a motor vehicle, which is designed to produce a projection light beam with a display content and to project the display content onto a partially transparent reflecting projection screen, in particular a front window of the motor vehicle, such that a virtual display image which is superimposed into a field of vision of a user is generated behind it. The method determines image element edges having vertical or a vertical component in the virtual display image to be superimposed and tilts the image element edges thus determined to a respectively adapted tilt angle with respect to the vertical, such that double images of the respective image element edges in the virtual display image are offset with respect to each other in the horizontal direct for the user due to double reflections of the projection light beam on two optical boundaries of the projection screen and appear substantially sharp.

A vehicle instrument cluster including a monochromatic display having a matrix of pixels which can be independently controlled by a control unit to inhibit or to allow the passage of light. The instrument cluster has a back-lighting device that emits at least a monochromatic light beam toward a rear surface of the display and through a filter, which is light-permeable and is provided with a coloured graphic representation whose contours have a resolution higher than the one of the display.
