A display system includes a display configured to display an image, a driving controller configured to execute a first driving mode in which one or both of steering and acceleration/deceleration of a vehicle are controlled on the basis of a prescribed event accompanied by a change in behavior of the vehicle or a second driving mode in which a degree of reliance on an operation of an occupant of the vehicle is greater than that in the first driving mode, and a display controller configured to control the display, wherein the display controller causes the display to display an image indicating the occurrence of the prescribed event to be executed in the first driving mode at a timing before the behavior of the vehicle changes and display information for prompting the occupant to implement the change in the behavior executed by the driving controller.

TRANSPORTATION EQUIPMENT AND TRAVELING CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR
20190286125 · 2019-09-19 ·

Transportation equipment includes a controller configured to perform at least steering, acceleration and deceleration to control traveling of the transportation equipment, a sight line detector for detecting a sight line of an occupant of the transportation equipment, and a display configured to display a sight line guidance pattern used to guide the sight line of the occupant. The controller causes the display to display the sight line guidance pattern while the transportation equipment is traveling, determines whether the sight line of the occupant detected by the sight line detector moves to a vicinity of a position at which the sight line guidance pattern is displayed, and continues or stops the traveling of the transportation equipment based on a result of the determination.

Head-up display device

A head-up display includes: a display projecting light; a reflection part reflecting the light; a supported part disposed on the end of the reflection part and including a cylindrical shaft; a support, through which the shaft passes, rotatably supporting the supported part; and an elastic member which has a U-shape cross-section and in which a hole is formed in one end section and a spherical-surface protrusion protruding towards the hole is formed in the other end section that passes through the center axis of the hole. With the supported part supported by the support, the distal end of the shaft passes through the hole, the distal end-side inner circumferential edge of the shaft abuts the protrusion, and the inner surface of the one end section and that of the other end section of the elastic member cause the supported part and the support part to press against each other.

Display apparatus having moving mechanism

A display apparatus includes: a housing including a top plate having an opening and two opposed side plate units; a display member capable of moving through the opening; a shutter configured to open and close the opening; and a moving mechanism provided on at least one of the two side plate units, the moving mechanism including a first slide member and a second slide member each moving along the at least one side plate unit and a transmission member transmitting an amount of movement of the first slide member to the second slide member while increasing the amount of movement, wherein the shutter moves according to movement of the second slide member.

Display device employing a virtual plane overlaying mechanical indicia

Display device is disclosed herein, and may be implementable in a variety of contexts, including a motor vehicle (for example, the instrument cluster). A semi-transparent plane is essentially placed in between a display and a mechanical element member. This allows a virtual projection of information over the mechanical plane in an on-state, while the mechanical element shows non-indicia during the off state.

INTERACTIVE TRIP-PLANNING APPLICATION FOR TRANSPORTATION REFRIGERATION UNIT WITH AN ENERGY STORAGE DEVICE
20190277647 · 2019-09-12 ·

A method of determining potential routes for a transportation refrigeration unit (TRU) powered by an electric energy storage device is provided. The method comprising: storing container parameters of a container to store perishable goods, TRU parameters of the TRU to control environment conditions within container, and perishable good requirements for transporting the perishable goods within the container; receiving route parameters, weather parameters, and perishable good parameters; determining one or more potential routes in response to the route parameters; determining a TRU predicted operation along each of the one or more potential routes in response to at least one of the route parameters, container parameters, TRU parameters, weather parameters, perishable good parameters, and perishable good requirements; and determining a predicted energy consumption from the energy storage device by the TRU along each of the one or more potential routes in response to the TRU predicted operation and energy storage device parameters.

Vehicle display device

Provided is a vehicle display device capable of providing a user with appropriate information, without being affected by changes in the position of the viewpoint of the user. This vehicle display device is provided with: an image display unit having a display screen capable of displaying images on at least part thereof; an image generating unit which generates images to be displayed by the image display unit; a viewpoint position acquiring unit which acquires a viewpoint position of a user seated on a driver's seat of a vehicle; and a projecting unit which projects the images toward a transparent front windshield of the vehicle in such a way that the images are reflected in the transparent front windshield of the vehicle, thereby allowing the user seated in the driver's seat to visually recognize a virtual image. The image generating unit determines a usage region to be used to display the images, within the display screen of the image display unit, in accordance with the viewpoint position of the user that has been acquired by the viewpoint position acquiring unit.

Image display device

An image display device includes a light source, a screen, a scanning unit, an optical system, a drive unit, a support base, and a fixed base. The screen is irradiated with light from the light source, and an image is thus formed on the screen. The scanning unit scans the light from the light source along multiple scanning lines on the screen. The optical system forms a virtual image using the light from the screen. The drive unit moves the screen in an optical axis direction. The support base supports the drive unit. The fixed base supports the support base via a damper. The support base is supported by the fixed base such that the support base has support rigidity higher in a first direction in which a visual distance of a display image is changed in association with the movement of the screen than in directions other than the first direction.

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PAYMENT BY USING AN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DEVICE
