The present invention relates to a display device provided in a vehicle, the display device including a first display configured to output first light forming first time information, a second display configured to output second light forming second visual information, and a light synthesizing unit disposed between the first and second displays and configured to transmit one of the first light and the second light and reflect another one so that the first light and the second light are directed to the same path, and wherein the light synthesizing unit is formed tiltable such that a reference angle formed between the light synthesizing unit and the first display varies.

A virtual image display device includes: a display unit that generates an image display light by modulating an illumination light; and a projection optical system that includes a concave mirror for reflecting the image display light toward a virtual image presentation plate and a convex lens provided between the display unit and the concave mirror. The display unit is provided at a position closer to the convex lens than a focal point, within a meridional plane, of a composite optical system formed by the virtual image presentation plate and the projection optical system.

The invention relates to a display control apparatus (1) for dynamically controlling the display of information in a vehicle (3). The display control apparatus (1) comprises a controller (12) having at least one electronic processor (13). The at least one electronic processor (13) is configured to control first and second displays (4, 5). In dependence on a determined gaze direction of the vehicle driver, the at least one electronic processor (13) controls a switching module (16) to cause a first information data set (INF1) displayed on said first display (4) to be displayed on said second display (5). The present invention also relates to a method of controlling the display of information in a vehicle (3). One aim is to shift the driver's view back to the road.

A projection display device for a vehicle which allows visual recognition of a virtual image of a display image from a predetermined eye point, the device includes: a projection portion which projects light to be imaged as the display image on a display surface which is formed by a light reflection member in a windshield of a vehicle or in the vicinity of the windshield; an optical system which guides the light projected from the projection portion to the display surface; and an adjustment mechanism which adjusts the light before being introduced to the optical system so as to allow light derived from a curved image of which at least a part is curved to be introduced to the optical system.

An information system for a vehicle is provided, as is a corresponding method for operating the information system and a thereto related computer program product.

The disclosure discloses an on-vehicle display system including an instrument panel and a display device, where the instrument panel is provided with a protection housing, which is a curved structure recessed toward the instrument panel; the display device is configured to emit light rays of a displayed image; and the protection housing is configured to transmit light exiting from the instrument panel, and to receive and reflect the light rays exiting from the display device to eyes of a driver.

The systems and methods disclosed herein are directed to a vehicle proximity system. The vehicle proximity system uses sensors, a vehicle computing device, and a heads-up display of a host vehicle to present proximity graphic elements to a vehicle occupant, such as the driver of the host vehicle. The proximity graphic elements are displayed using a heads-up display and are projected on a transparent surface of the host vehicle, such as the windows, windshield, display screen, lenses, etc. The proximity graphic elements indicate the presence of a proximal vehicle to the host vehicle. In some embodiments, the proximal vehicle is a vehicle passing the host vehicle. Alternatively, the proximal vehicle may be inline with the host vehicle traveling in a forward or rearward direction.

An in-vehicle display control device includes: an image acquisition unit that acquires a plurality of element images to be displayed on a vehicular display from each image generation unit; a change information acquisition unit that acquires color change information; and an image synthesizing unit that generates a synthetic image based on a color in the color change information and the plurality of element images. The image synthesizing unit generates the synthetic image by synthesizing the plurality of element images and a color change layer.

An input device includes: a movement detector that detects a user movement; and an image projector that forms a zone image in a space to present a region where the movement detector detects movement; and the image projector includes a first light source; and a first light guide plate which includes a light emitting surface and directs light entering from the first light source so that the light exits from the light emitting surface and forms an image in a space.

A battery temperature display device of a vehicle is provided. The battery temperature display device includes: a plurality of display elements sequentially arranged according to values of a display temperature so as to respectively display each of a plurality of temperature ranges into which a predetermined total temperature display range of the secondary battery is divided, wherein the display elements include a highest temperature display element and a lowest temperature display element respectively display temperature ranges of a highest temperature and a lowest temperature in which discharge and charge of the secondary battery are restricted in the total temperature display range; and a display control part for changing boundaries between the highest temperature display element, the lowest temperature display element and other display elements or thresholds related to divisions of the display temperature in accordance with an operation state of the vehicle or a use state of the secondary battery.
