An electronic device includes a motor, a gear set, a meter frame set, a first screw rod, and a second gear rack. The gear set is driven by the motor and includes a first gear. The meter frame set includes a first gear rack extending along an arc line and adapted to be engaged with the first gear of the gear set. When the motor is operated and the first gear rack is engaged with the first gear, the first gear drives the first gear rack such that the meter frame set moves along the arc line. The first screw rod is linked with the gear set and extends along a first axis. The second gear rack is adapted to be linked with the meter frame set. When the motor is operated and the second gear rack is engaged with the first screw rod, the first gear rack is not engaged with the first gear, and the meter frame set is linked with the second gear rack to move along the first axis with the second gear rack.

A vehicular display control device is configured to: acquire a physical quantity relating to a travel state of a vehicle; in a display region for displaying a predetermined range of the vehicle travel state-related physical quantity in increments using numerical values, change a display format of the numerical values based on the acquired vehicle travel state-related physical quantity; and display the numerical values for which the display format has been changed on a display including the display region.

A display device, for a hybrid vehicle for displaying an output relating to traveling of the hybrid vehicle, includes a first region and a second region. The first region indicates the output in a first mode in which an internal combustion engine is stopped and the vehicle travels using an electric motor. The second region indicates the output in a second mode in which the internal combustion engine is operated to travel. The first region and the second region are independently disposed in a predetermined range. Numerals for scale are marked in either one of the first region and the second region.

A dashboard display of a vehicle includes a display panel having a speed display area that outputs a speed range of the vehicle at a first speed interval and an event display area that outputs an event information, a needle for indicating a current speed of the vehicle by rotating to thereby point to a corresponding position along the displayed speed range, and a controller that is configured to, when one or more preset conditions of the vehicle being satisfied, change a boundary of the speed display area from a first speed display area within the display panel to a second speed display area within the display panel that is different from the first speed display area.

A system for providing a scale (11) of electrical charge of a vehicle battery and a hybrid vehicle comprising such a system comprises a scale (11) of state of charge of the vehicle battery. The scale (11) comprises minimum (14) and maximum (15) parameters and a controller to select the minimum (14) and maximum (15) parameters if the scale (11) in dependence on a battery usage parameter dependent on at least one of a mode of operation of the vehicle, a state of charge of the battery and a state of health of the battery. A display (10) for indicating an amount consists of the scale (11) and an indicator (12) movable with respect to the scale (11). Different scales (11) are provided for different purposes, and are changeable without altering the instant position of the indicator (12). The display (10) may indicate the state of charge of a battery of the hybrid electric vehicle having an internal combustion engine and motor/generator, different scales (11) having maxima (15) corresponding to different nominal or optimum states of charge.

A method of displaying autonomous driving mode distance to empty (DTE) of a vehicle capable of autonomous driving includes: determining whether a destination is set; reading a preset gas mileage table; calculating in real time an autonomous driving condition factor to the destination; calculating the autonomous driving mode DTE based on the preset gas mileage table and the autonomous driving condition factor; and displaying the calculated autonomous driving mode DTE.

A method for displaying brake power status of a vehicle is disclosed. The method obtains vehicle status data from at least one onboard subsystem, and generates a power indicator based on the status data. The power indicator includes a charge indicator region defined by a stationary charging boundary and by a dynamic transition threshold, a friction brake indicator region adjacent to the charge indicator region and defined by the dynamic transition threshold and by a stationary friction braking boundary, and a real-time power level indicator responsive to the vehicle status data to indicate a position in the charge indicator region or the friction brake indicator region. The transition threshold moves in response to changes in the status data over time, resulting in a moving boundary between the charge indicator region and the friction brake indicator region. The power indicator is displayed on an electronic display element onboard the vehicle.

A display device includes a display section configured to display images, and a controller configured to control the display section to display an indicator-needle motion-blurred image from an entire indicator-needle motion-blurred image that is an image previously stored in a storage unit and represents an afterimage corresponding to an entire rotation range within which an indicator needle is capable of rotating, the indicator-needle motion-blurred image representing an afterimage of the indicator needle that corresponds to a rotation range within which the indicator needle rotates per unit time when rotated. Consequently, the display device is effective at enabling the indicator needle to be appropriately displayed.

A pointer is rotational relative to a screen. A driver unit is equipped with the pointer and configured to rotate the pointer. A controller sends an output signal to the driver unit to rotate the pointer at a rotational position in a rotational range. The controller is configured to modify the rotational range. The controller is configured to modify the graphic according to the rotational range, which is modified.

An object of the present invention is to provide a display device for an electric vehicle capable of performing displaying with which an association between a possible travel range and a power consumption rate can be recognized. The display device includes a calculation unit which calculates a power consumption rate of the electric vehicle, and a display unit which displays the power consumption rate calculated by the calculation unit, and a possible travel range achievable at the power consumption rate. The display unit includes a power consumption rate scale indicating scales of the power consumption rate, a possible travel range scale indicating scales of the possible travel range and disposed corresponding to the power consumption rate scale, and a line portion displayed between the power consumption rate scale and the possible travel range scale. An end portion of the line portion closer to the power consumption rate scale indicates the power consumption rate, and an end portion of the line portion closer to the possible travel range scale indicates the possible travel range.
