A display device installed in a vehicle includes a display, a reflectance control device, and a control circuit. The reflectance control device is capable of changing a reflectance for incident light. The control circuit controls the reflectance of the reflectance control device. The reflectance control device includes a first part and a second part. The first part is positioned in a first region overlapping the display surface when viewed in a normal direction being normal to the display surface. The second part is positioned in a second region surrounding the first region when viewed in the normal direction of the display surface. The control circuit controls a reflectance of the second part based on at least one of speed information indicating a speed of the vehicle and reverse information indicating whether the vehicle is reversing.

A display system of a vehicle displays a virtual image. The display system has a projection device, which is configured to emit display light in order to generate an image, and a reflecting device, which is configured for a first reflection of display light of the projection device arranged above the reflecting device by way of the reflecting device attached in or on an instrument panel of the vehicle. The display light of the projection device incident on the reflecting device is substantially retroreflected. The display system further includes a windshield of the vehicle, which windshield is configured for a second reflection of at least part of the display light, which was reflected by the reflecting device, to the eyes of an observer in the vehicle in order to allow the observer to see, behind the windshield, the virtual image of the image generated by the projection device.

Embodiments of a deadfront configured to hide a display when the display is not active are provided. The deadfront includes a substrate having a first major surface and a second major surface. The second major surface is opposite the first major surface. The deadfront also includes a neutral density filter disposed on the second major surface of the transparent substrate and an ink layer disposed on the neutral density filter. The deadfront defines at least one display region in which the deadfront transmits at least 60% of incident light and at least one non-display region in which the deadfront transmits at most 5% of incident light. A contrast sensitivity between each of the at least one display region and each of the at least one non-display region is at least 15 when the display is not active.

A virtual image display device includes: an image projection unit that selectively projects a first projection light linearly polarized in a first direction and a second projection light linearly polarized in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction to a windshield; a reflected light measurement unit that measures an intensity of light incident from the windshield into the image projection unit along a light path in which the first projection light and the second projection light are projected; and a determination unit that determine whether a user is wearing polarized sunglasses that shield a component linearly polarized in the first direction, based on a first light intensity measured by the reflected light measurement unit when the first projection light is projected and a second light intensity measured by the reflected light measurement unit when the second projection light is projected.
