A display device is configured to show an image inside a vehicle, and mounted inside the vehicle as an internal component. The display device has a light source configured to emit light, and a light guide element configured to guide incident light from the light source. The light guide element includes an emission surface configured to output incident light, and a plurality of light focusing portions configured to change the path of the incident light toward the emission surface, causing the light output to converge toward a convergence point or convergence line outside the light guide element or to radiate from a convergence point or convergence line outside the light guide element and thereby form an image outside the light guide element.

A head-up display apparatus for a vehicle may include: a housing defining an interior space, with an entrance formed on a side of the housing; a holder unit coupled at a side thereof to a combiner; a moving unit located in the interior space of the housing, rotatably coupled to the holder unit, and reciprocating in one direction to cause the combiner to be accommodated in the interior space of the housing or to be exposed to an outside through the entrance of the housing; a driving unit coupled to the moving unit to move the moving unit; and a tilting unit slidably coupled to the moving unit and coupled to the driving unit, the tilting unit being moved by the driving unit to cause the combiner to be tilted around an imaginary central axis transverse to the combiner.

A motor vehicle includes a window and a body having a storage space with an opening facing toward the window. A flexible electronic display is movable from a first position overlying the window and a second position within the storage space. The window may be a windshield, and the storage space may be within a roof of the vehicle.

A driving support method for a vehicle includes: acquiring a sound of a sound source placed outside the vehicle; and displaying, on a display portion, driving support information corresponding to an utterance content of the sound, the utterance content of the sound being recognized by a sound recognition process, in a display mode suggesting a relative position of the sound source from the vehicle, the relative position being specified based on the sound.

The present disclosure provides a smart window, a control method thereof, and a transport vehicle. The smart window may include a detector, a collector, a displayer and a processor. The detector is configured to detect whether a close-range scene exists. The collector is configured to collect position information of a human eye. The processor is connected to the detector and the collector, and configured to calculate coordinates of the close-range scene, calculate coordinates of the human eye according to the position information of the human eye, obtain a frame-extracted area according to the coordinates of the close-range scene and coordinates of the human eye, perform black insertion for pixels in the frame-extracted area in the displayer, and generate a display signal. The displayer is connected to the processor and configured to display according to the display signal.

A vehicle control apparatus includes a second display device which is connected to a driving support ECU, and a meter ECU. The driving support ECU performs a plurality of diving support functions by executing a plurality of driving support controls. The meter ECU hides an integrated telltale image in a predetermined area of the second display device when all of a plurality of recommended driving support functions selected among the driving support functions have been set in the valid states. The meter ECU displays the integrated telltale image in the predetermined area of the second display device when at least one of the recommended driving support functions which has been set in the invalid state is present.

A convenient device control apparatus for a vehicle and a method thereof are provided. The convenient device control apparatus includes a light source that emits light at a specified frequency and an electroencephalogram (EEG) sensor that measures an EEG signal of a user. An EEG analyzer analyzes a frequency of the EEG signal measured by the EEG sensor and a controller operates a convenient device in the vehicle based on the frequency of the EEG signal analyzed by the EEG analyzer.

A vehicular display system includes a movable body displaceable between an erect position and a tilted position, a first moving body disposed on the vehicle upper side of the movable body in the erect position, a second moving body disposed on the vehicle lower side of the movable body in the erect position, a drive device that displaces the movable body between the erect position and the tilted position, a guide device that guides the second moving body along the displacement operation of the movable body between the erect position and the tilted position, a display device that allows a user to view vehicle interior display information as if the information were displayed in an information display area of the movable body, and an elastic member that applies an elastic force between the movable body and the drive device.

A working vehicle includes a steering handle, a vehicle body to travel by manual steering via the steering handle or automatic steering for the steering handle based on a scheduled traveling line, a setting switch to switch between valid and invalid, a setting mode to set at least the automatic steering before the automatic steering is started, and a display including a driving display portion to display driving information of the vehicle body during traveling. When the setting mode is switched to be valid, the display changes a displaying state of the driving display portion to another different displaying state different from the displaying state where the setting mode is invalid.

Disclosed herein is a method of activating a display device in a moving object. The method of activating a display device in a moving object may include determining a driving mode in the moving object, determining whether or not to activate a display device based on the driving mode of the moving object, and displaying an image in the display device, when the display device is activated. Herein, a display device may be activated and an airbag may be deactivated when a driving mode is a first mode. Also, a display device may be deactivated and an airbag may be activated when a driving mode is a second mode.
