Vehicle visual systems are disclosed to produce seamless and uniform surround-view images of the vehicle using a number of Ultra Wide-Angle (UWA) lens cameras and optionally HUD systems. A distributive system architecture wherein individual cameras are capable of performing various image transformations allows a flexible and resource efficient image processing scheme.

Provided is a vehicle display system that displays information to be displayed such that the information is recognized by a user inside a vehicle interior in an inner region of a frame of a movable body, wherein a guided portion of a guide device includes a second rotating shaft and first and second rotating bodies disposed coaxially with the rotating shaft, rolling contact surfaces rolling along a guide rail being formed thereon.

In a driving support device, an image output unit outputs an image including a vehicle object representing a vehicle and a peripheral situation of the vehicle, to a display unit. An operation signal input unit receives a gesture operation by a user that involves moving of the vehicle object in the image displayed on the display unit. A command output unit outputs a command according to the gesture operation, to an automatic driving control unit that controls automatic driving.

A display device to be installed in a moving body includes: a surrounding image acquisition unit configured to acquire a surrounding image of the moving body; an external environment recognizing unit configured to recognize an object around the moving body; a distance acquisition unit configured to acquire a distance between the object and the moving body; a synthetic image generation unit that generates a guide display for notifying presence of the object and generates a synthetic image by combining the guide display with the surrounding image at a position corresponding to the object recognized by the external environment recognizing unit; and an image display unit that displays the synthetic image, wherein the synthetic image generation unit combines the guide display with the surrounding image such that visibility of the guide display increases as the distance between the object and the moving body decreases.

An image display system includes: an external environment information acquiring device configured to acquire external environment information around a mobile body; a display device configured to display the external environment information; and a control device configured to control a display of the external environment information on the display device, wherein the control device is configured to generate a virtual viewpoint image in which the mobile body and an object around the mobile body are viewed from a virtual viewpoint, cause the display device to display the virtual viewpoint image, move the virtual viewpoint along a trajectory set around the mobile body, set a restricted section in the trajectory such that the restricted section is arranged in front of the mobile body in a plan view, and execute viewpoint restricting control to restrict a display of the virtual viewpoint image from the virtual viewpoint in the restricted section.

A display panel with a pixel matrix has control circuitry designed to actuate at least one pixel element of the pixel matrix for displaying at least one graphic display object. The display panel is flexible and is movably supported by a controllable supporting arrangement. An electronic control unit can adjust a position of the display panel as a function of a position signal between a first position, where the display panel can cover at least one portion of a vehicle roof, and a second position, where the display panel can cover at least one portion of a windscreen.

To downsize a head-up display apparatus, a recess is provided by cutting a part of the reflection mirror having a quadrilateral shape as a basic shape. A head-up display apparatus includes, in a casing thereof, an image display and an optical path forming member. The optical path forming member includes at least a reflection mirror that reflects the image. The reflection mirror has a quadrilateral shape as a basic shape. The reflection mirror having the quadrilateral shape as the basic shape includes a recess in at least one of four corners. The reflection mirror having the quadrilateral shape as the basic shape is disposed in the casing to be inclined relative to a horizontal direction. The recess is provided in at least one of a top corner and a bottom corner which are diagonally placed in the inclined reflection mirror.

A motor vehicle includes a left side view camera attached to the left lateral side of the body and having a field of view in a rearward direction. A right side view camera is attached to the right lateral side of the body and has a field of view in a rearward direction. There is a right back up camera and a left back up camera. An optics module receives resulting video signals and produces light fields such that the light fields are reflected off of windows of the motor vehicle and are then visible to a driver of the motor vehicle as virtual images.

A vehicle display device includes: a display unit that is disposed in a host vehicle and that displays an image; an imaging unit that captures an image of circumstances surrounding the host vehicle; and a controller configured to perform processing through which, by controlling the display unit, a virtual vehicle image representing a virtual vehicle imitating the host vehicle is displayed, and the image of the circumstances surrounding the host vehicle captured by the imaging unit is pasted for display as a reflected image representing reflection in the host vehicle onto an outer panel of the virtual vehicle represented by the virtual vehicle image.

A display device includes a liquid crystal panel providing a display surface where an image is displayed, a backlight emitting light to the liquid crystal panel from behind, a real object placed between the liquid crystal panel and the backlight and visible through the liquid crystal panel, and a controller controlling the liquid crystal panel such that a specific pixel region of the display surface behind which the real object is positioned is higher in light transmittance than another pixel region of the display surface.
