Described are various embodiments of a digital display device to render an image for viewing by a viewer having reduced visual acuity, the device comprising: a digital display medium for rendering the image based on pixel data related thereto; a complementary light field display portion; and a hardware processor operable on said pixel data for a selected portion of the image to be rendered via said complementary light field display portion so to produce vision-corrected pixel data corresponding thereto to at least partially address the viewer's reduced visual acuity when viewing said selected portion as rendered in accordance with said vision-corrected pixel data by said complementary light field display portion.

A vehicle according to embodiments includes a display unit displaying information related to the vehicle, a sensor unit detecting a position of a user of the vehicle, and a processor controlling the display unit, wherein the sensor unit is located at a bottom end of the display unit and wherein the sensor unit includes at least one or more light emitting units emitting light and at least one or more sensors receiving the light.

A display device of a vehicle on which a CO.sub.2 recovery device is mounted, the CO.sub.2 recovery device through which gas circulates recovering carbon dioxide from the gas, the display device includes: a controller configured to control the vehicle, the controller including a recovery state determination unit configured to determine a recovery amount or a recovery state of the carbon dioxide recovered by the CO.sub.2 recovery device and an image data creation unit configured to create image data corresponding to the recovery amount or the recovery state detected by the recovery state determination unit; and a display screen configured to receive the image data and display an image corresponding to the image data, wherein the image data and the image vary depending on the recovery amount or the recovery 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.

An aerial display device is mounted on a vehicle and displays information toward a driver seated in a driver seat of the vehicle. The aerial display device includes a display panel and a reflector array. The display panel including a display surface that emits images as light, the display panel being orientated such that the display surface faces toward the driver seat, the display surface including a screen display area and an aerial display area located next to the screen display area. The aerial display area is located at the upper edge portion of the display surface in an installed orientation. The screen display area is a part of the display surface located below the aerial display area. The reflector array forms the light emitted from the aerial display area as an aerial display image in midair above to the aerial display area.

Embodiments of a curved vehicle display including a display module having a display surface, a curved glass substrate disposed on the display surface having a first major surface, a second major surface having a second surface area, and a thickness in a range from 0.05 mm to 2 mm, wherein the second major surface comprises a first radius of curvature of 200 mm or greater, wherein, when the display module emits a light, the light transmitted through the glass substrate has a substantially uniform color along 75% or more of the second surface area, when viewed at a viewing angle at a distance of 0.5 meters from the second surface. Methods of forming a curved vehicle display are also disclosed.

An assembly and method for updating a display assembly of a control panel is disclosed with optimal uniform illumination. In some instances, embodiments include efficient and cost effective methods for upgrading display assemblies without having to completely overhaul the electrical, mechanical, or wiring components already existing within the control panel.

The present invention discloses an automotive instrument cluster with a continuous LED bar graph. The automotive instrument includes a base, LED light sources placed on the base, LED compartments resulting from mounting plate separating plurality of LED lights from each other, an applique covering the top surfaces of the LED compartments wherein the top surface of the applique is perceived by a user, and the bottom surface of the applique covers the LED compartments from inside. The mounting plate is designed in a manner that the inner walls of subsequent LED compartments maintain a predetermined gap with bottom surface of the applique to enable the light to pass to the adjacent LED compartment.

An image display system includes a display, a barrier, a second mirror that has a changeable reflection angle for reflecting and projecting image light, a first controller that controls a change in the reflection angle, a camera that captures an image of a face of a driver, and a second controller that clips out a target area from a captured image output from the camera. The second controller shifts the target area as the first controller changes the reflection angle.
