The display device includes control circuitry to enable the displaying of the graphic display object based on a predefined display alignment in one of a first orientation and a second orientation. The control circuitry adjusts a respective light transmission to a predetermined individual degree for each of the predetermined primary subareas independent of each other based on a physical environment condition.

A display control system includes a plurality of display devices and a display controller (display device). The display controller generates a graphics command for each frame, and attaches, to the graphics command, time stamp corresponding to an order of generation of the graphics command. Each of the plurality of display devices: acquires the graphics command; performs, in parallel, first processing of acquiring only the time stamp attached to the graphics command in the order of generation and second processing of performing rendering processing based on the graphics command in the order of generation and acquiring the time stamp attached to the graphics command based on which the rendering processing is performed; and when a difference between the time stamp acquired in the first processing and the time stamp acquired in the second processing exceeds a predetermined threshold value, performs reduction processing for reducing a load on the rendering processing.

An electronic apparatus for controlling a passenger seat display in front of a passenger sitting on a passenger seat and a method of controlling the passenger seat display are provided. An electronic apparatus and a control method for changing a viewing angle of a passenger seat display according to a operating state of a vehicle and adjusting brightness or color coordinates of the passenger seat display are provided. A structure of a backlight unit for increasing light-gathering power to improve brightness of a passenger seat display is provided.

A radio communication head-up display system includes a radio communication device including an imaging element, a first controller, and a first communication module, and a head-up display including a display panel, an optical element, an optical system, and a second controller. The imaging element generates a captured image. The first controller estimates eye-positions of eyes of a user based on the captured image. The first communication module transmits positional information indicating eye-positions of the eyes of the user. The display panel displays a parallax image. The optical element defines a propagation direction of image light. The optical system projects the image light whose propagation direction is defined by the optical element, toward a direction of the eyes of the user. The second communication module receives the positional information indicating the eye-positions. The second controller controls the parallax image displayed on the display panel based on the positional information received.

A head-up display system includes a first plurality of on-board sensors adapted to detect vehicle driving characteristics, a wireless communication module adapted to receive information from external sources, a driver monitoring system adapted to track a driver's eyes, and a controller in electronic communication with the first plurality of on-board sensors and the wireless communication module, the controller adapted to determine if the vehicle is performing a parking maneuver, and, when the vehicle is performing a parking maneuver, to capture images of an environment surrounding the vehicle, detect objects within the environment, identify location markers for a parking space and objects within the environment surrounding the vehicle adjacent to the parking space, determine the position of the vehicle relative to the identified location markers and objects, and display, with a projection module a parking assist graphic adapted to provide guidance to a driver of the vehicle.

A driving support system includes a three-dimensional (3D) projector and a driver monitoring apparatus. The driver monitoring apparatus and the 3D projector share a camera system. A camera captures an image of a driver of a vehicle, divides the captured image into a plurality of divisional captured images, and transmits the plurality of divisional captured images separately. A first controller performs a first detection process to detect first information associated with a position of an eye of the driver in response to receiving at least one of the plurality of divisional captured images from the camera. A second controller generates, in response to receiving all of the plurality of divisional captured images from the camera, a captured image by composition, and performs a second detection process to detect second information associated with a driving state of the driver.

A vehicular driver monitoring system includes an interior electrochromic rearview mirror assembly and a camera disposed at the interior electrochromic rearview mirror assembly behind and viewing through an electrochromic mirror reflective element into the interior cabin of the vehicle. Supplemental sources of near infrared illumination are integrated into the mirror assembly that, when powered to emit near infrared light, illuminate at least a front seating area within the interior cabin of the vehicle. Presence of the camera is not readily apparent to an occupant sitting in the interior cabin of the vehicle. The interior electrochromic rearview mirror assembly includes a processor that processes image data captured by the camera. The camera at least views a driver-side front seating area of the vehicle and, via processing at the processor of image data captured by the camera, the driver seated at the driver-side front seating area is monitored.

A display panel has a first panel side and a second panel side, both capable of displaying graphic display object(s). The display panel has a pixel layer, control circuitry and a sensor unit which identify the presence of at least one person at a predefined threshold distance from the display device and whether the at least one person is on the first panel side or the second panel side. The control circuitry is adapted to enable the displaying of the graphic display object in accordance with a predefined display alignment in one of a first orientation and a second orientation based on a physical environment condition.

Supplemental sources of near infrared illumination are integrated into the mirror assembly that, when powered to emit near infrared light, illuminate at least the driver-side front seating area within the interior cabin of the vehicle. Presence of the camera is not readily apparent to an occupant of the vehicle. The camera at least (a) views the driver-side front seating area of the equipped vehicle and (b) views a passenger-side front seating area of the equipped vehicle. The driver of the equipped vehicle is monitored via processing at the processor of image data captured by the camera.

An HUB system 1 is equipped with an HUB device 10 for displaying a video in front of a vehicle; a communication unit 31 for connecting a mobile device 3 with the HUD device and establishing communication; a speaker 32 for outputting sounds to a driver; a microphone 33 for picking up the voices of the driver; a sound recognition unit 34 for analyzing the picked-up voices; and an in-vehicle camera 35 for photographing the face of the driver. When there is an incoming call at the mobile device, a calling indication of the mobile device 3 is displayed on the display screen of the HUD device, an incoming call sound is outputted from the speaker, and on the basis of a result of an analysis of voices uttered by the driver performed by the sound recognition unit, the conversation operations of the mobile device are started or ended.
