The invention relates to a motor vehicle instrument cluster, comprising a digital display screen which is intended to be hidden from the vehicle passengers and capable of displaying a source image containing a multitude of indicator modules for the driver of the vehicle, and a panel (20) located below the digital display screen, at least the main central (20A) and upper (20B) portions of said panel being opaque and reflective, the panel (20) being inclined relative to the display screen so as to reflect the source image towards the driver so that the latter perceives, in his/her field of vision, a virtual image located in front of the panel (20), characterized in that the lateral (20C) and lower (20D) portions of the panel (20) are transparent.

An information recording device acquires outside image information corresponding to an outside image obtained by photographing the outside of a moving body from the moving body; acquires autonomous driving information indicating a state of autonomous driving control of the moving body; acquires display information for simultaneously displaying at least a part of the outside image and an autonomous driving state image indicating the state of the autonomous driving control at a time of photographing the outside image, based on the outside image information and the autonomous driving information; and records the display information in a recording medium. The autonomous driving state image includes brake information indicating whether braking of the moving body is under the autonomous driving control.

The present application discloses systems and methods to present information to recreational vehicle riders and to provide customizable visual information to recreational vehicle riders. The present application further discloses systems and methods to connect and transmit audio information between a driver portable communication device and a driver audio interface device through the recreational vehicle and audio information between a passenger portable communication device and a passenger audio interface device.

In a display unit of the present invention, an instrument frame body (speedometer frame body, power meter frame body) are changed to a map frame body in a process that the road image is stepwise reduced and display to the map image by switching from a road display state to a map display state. Further, the map frame body is changed to the instrument frame body in a process that the map image is stepwise enlarged and displayed to the road image by switching from the map display state to the road display state.

A digital instrument display method includes generating bitmap font image and font table for font; running application module; running graphic engine module; running content module; transmitting, by sensor unit attached to vehicle, the generated signals to application module; analyzing, by application module, information received, and generating external event data; reading, by content module, external event data stored in internal memory for each frame and determining whether data are character string output; if data are character string output, transmitting, by content module, corresponding character string information to graphic engine module; acquiring, by graphic engine module, position and size information of bitmap font image that matches character string in bitmap font table; and copying, by control unit, position and size information of bitmap font image that matches character string acquired and displaying character string through instrument display unit using graphic engine module and graphic library.

A method of operating virtual reality glasses in a vehicle in which a risk of motion sickness for a wearer of the virtual reality glasses is reduced with the aid of the method. A virtual reality system (IO) includes the virtual reality glasses and the vehicle. According to the method, a vehicle movement of the vehicle is evaluated in such a way that ultimately, after the image data describing the virtual surroundings have been split into a background image dataset and a foreground image dataset, a lateral offset for a position of an object in the foreground in comparison with the background is determined, so that virtual surroundings which are processed in this way can be determined and displayed. Alternatively, the virtual surroundings can be enlarged in accordance with the vehicle movement, and processed virtual surroundings can be determined by means of a movement of the enlarged virtual surroundings along a movement trajectory, and displayed.

An object of the present invention is to provide a display device for a vehicle which brings a relation between a linear display section of a display panel placed at a dashboard and a linear lighting placed at the dashboard. A display device for a vehicle includes a display panel and a linear lighting placed at a dashboard of an automobile, a linear lighting placed on a lining of a door on a driver seat side, and a linear lighting placed on a lining of a door on a passenger seat side. The display panel is a panel with liquid crystal on its full range, and includes a linear display section which is continuous with an end of the linear lighting. The linear lighting and the linear display section are capable of linked light emission.

Systems, methods and computer readable storage media provide a flexible and variability-accommodating instrument cluster for display on an in-vehicle screen and a user experience interaction model for providing vehicle status-related information via the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster may be shown in a minimized content view, basic content view, or enhanced content view, wherein each content view may include a varying range of displayed information based on a layout template. The driver can easily scroll between the various content views while driving. The instrument cluster may alternatively be shown in a favorites view, amongst a plurality of preconfigured favorites views associated with different drivers, the favorites view including a user-selected set of gauges in a user-selected layout. A steering wheel-based shortcut control is provided that can be assigned to a changeable parameter and used to toggle the parameter in association with an instrument cluster display element while driving.

A vehicular display control device is configured to: acquire a physical quantity relating to a travel state of a vehicle; in a display region for displaying a predetermined range of the vehicle travel state-related physical quantity in increments using numerical values, change a display format of the numerical values based on the acquired vehicle travel state-related physical quantity; and display the numerical values for which the display format has been changed on a display including the display region.

A display panel is capable of displaying a meter image that includes a pointer image constituting a pointer and a mark image constituting a mark pointed to by the pointer. A display controller controls a display state of the display panel. The display panel simultaneously displays a plurality of meter images including a first meter image and a second meter image and a background image encircling the plurality of meter images and is capable of switching the first meter image to a third meter image, which is the meter image of a type different from the first meter image, and displaying the third meter image. The display controller changes a display mode of at least one of the second meter image, the third meter image, or the background image when switching the first meter image to the third meter image and displaying the third meter image on the display panel.
