The first light guide body includes: a light receiving part disposed between the overlapping region of the image display surface and the display board, for receiving the light from the light source via the liquid crystal display panel; and a light-emitting part exposed outwardly from the display board as viewed by a viewer, for emitting light from the first light guide body that is received by the light-receiving part.

A display control device includes a receiving portion configured to receive operation information input to a touch input portion, the touch input portion being located away from a display portion; and a processing portion configured to control display on the display portion in accordance with the operation information that is received by the receiving portion. The processing portion is configured to cause the display portion to display an image in which a cursor is disposed inside a plurality of icons that are circumferentially disposed, and the processing portion is configured to move the cursor to an icon among the plurality of icons, the icon being located in a direction of a slide operation received by the receiving portion.

A display system may include a camera configured to capture an image of a calibration reference associated with an automobile, a display, and a controller in communication with the camera and the display. The controller may be configured to selectively adjust a color temperature of the display based on the image of the calibration reference.

A method and system for enacting a change of operating modalities of a transportation vehicle. The method includes at least one display device, which at least partially includes a screen, operated in the transportation vehicle. The at least one display device has at least two operating modes for operator control by a user. A triggering signal to the at least one display device is automatically provided. The triggering signal is triggered by at least one trigger event, is provided directly or indirectly by the transportation vehicle, and triggers a change from a first operating mode to a second operating mode. The change is at least partially indicated to the user by at least one operator alerting signal.

A vehicle includes: a display panel; a backlight unit disposed at a rear part of the display panel to supply light to the backlight unit; a light collector to collect external light and connected to the backlight unit; a light blocking device disposed between the backlight unit and the light collector to pass or block light; and a controller to determine whether an external light use condition is satisfied based on illuminance of the external light, and open the light blocking device so that the external light is transmitted to the backlight unit when the external light use condition is satisfied.

Provided are a vehicle infotainment apparatus and a control method thereof. When a cluster is in an abnormal state, the vehicle infotainment apparatus or an in-vehicle information (IVI) apparatus backs up a cluster function to stably control vehicle information to be displayed by the cluster.

Display of a display object is changed more appropriately. A display control device includes: a display region setting unit configured to set a display region in accordance with a screen size of a display; a display control unit configured to control display of at least one or more display objects arranged in an arrangement region provided in the display region; and a priority setting unit configured to set relative priority among the display objects arranged in the same arrangement region, wherein the display control unit sets a size of the arrangement region correspondingly to the display region that is set in accordance with the screen size of the display, and controls display of the display objects based on the priority that is set among the display objects.

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to a heads-up display visor for a vehicle, such as an automobile, to provide driver assistance information to the driver. Features include a display screen that is sized and positioned relative to the driver's conventional sun visor, so as to eliminate the need to project images onto the windshield and/or to have a projector located on the vehicle dashboard. In certain embodiments, the heads-up display visor is portable, and is affixed to the driver's conventional sun visor by a clip, thereby allowing a driver to move the device from one vehicle to another.

An approach is provided for presenting contextual content for an end-to-end seamless experience during an autonomous vehicle trip. The approach, for example, involves retrieving content related to at least one context associated with a destination of a vehicle. The approach also involves adapting the content to one or more presentation devices in the vehicle. The approach further involves initiating a presentation of the adapted content on the one or more presentation devices to provide a simulation of the at least one context associated with the destination as the vehicle travels towards the destination.

The present invention is a single camera or multiple cameras on telescoping pole that can be mounted on top surface of vehicles such as automobiles, trucks, buses, trains, airplanes, toys etc. For easier explanation of the invention, focus is given on the application of the camera system on automobiles (cars). Four cameras mounted in different directions on the pole give wider field of view for safe operation of the vehicle. The camera system also includes a radar. The telescoping pole helps to raise the cameras unit with radar(LDAR) above the top surface of the vehicle. The first camera points to the front direction of the car, the second camera points to the rear direction of the car, the third camera points to a blind spot on the left side of the car and the fourth camera points to a blind spot on the right side the car. The inventions can be easily modified to a single or dual camera on top of pole for a cheaper alternative camera system, first camera can be mounted on the pole to show front view and the second camera may be mounted on the pole to show the rear view. The system can also keep cameras that point to the blind spots and ignore cameras facing the front and rear views.
