The index light source applies ultraviolet light for illuminating the index display portion to the index row from a front side of the display board, and the index row is formed in the display board in front of the transmission display portions over each of the transmission display portions interposing the boundary portion, and the index row is irradiated when receiving the ultraviolet light. Accordingly, the appearance of the display performed by the vehicular display device is improved.

A vehicular head-up display apparatus comprises a light source apparatus, a display panel, an optical member, and a controller. The display panel is configured to change illumination light from the light source apparatus into display light on a display surface. The optical member is configured to guide the display light from the display panel to a certain space. The display surface includes a first luminance area displayable at a first luminance, and a second luminance area displayable at a second luminance which is lower in luminance than the first luminance. The controller is configured to selectively display information in the first luminance area and the second luminance.

According to one embodiment, a display device includes a display panel configured to modulate a first polarization component, a first viewing angle control panel including a first liquid crystal layer containing twisted liquid crystal molecules, a second viewing angle control panel including a second liquid crystal layer containing twisted liquid crystal molecules, and a polarization axis rotation element provided between the first viewing angle control panel and the display panel. A second polarization axis of a second polarization component which passed through the first viewing angle control panel is different from a first polarization axis of the first polarization component. The polarization axis rotation element is configured to rotate the second polarization axis.

A light source unit used for a vehicular head-up display includes a prism-shaped multi-reflection member and a substrate. The multi-reflection member has: an entrance surface; an emission surface; and a reflective surface connecting the entrance surface and the emission surface. The substrate faces the entrance surface and is provided with a plurality of light sources mounted in a matrix. A ratio Ra=A/B or a ratio Rc=a/b is larger than a ratio Rb=C/D, where A and B is the number of the light sources provided in a longer and shorter direction of the entrance surface, respectively, C and D is a longer and shorter dimension of the emission surface, respectively, and a and b is the sum of lengths of light-emitting surfaces of the plurality of light sources in the longer and shorter direction of the entrance surface, respectively.

A vehicle display assembly may comprise a transparent element defining a viewing surface, a display element disposed behind the transparent element, and a printed circuit board in electrical communication with the display element. The display element is configured to generate an image visible through the transparent element. The vehicle display assembly may be in communication with at least one of a vehicle sensor and a vehicle computer. The images appearing in the display element may change orientation based on the presence or absence of a vehicle occupant.

A display including a liquid crystal layer, a light source, and a wall. The liquid crystal layer includes a first display area, a second display area, and a transition area therebetween. The light source is configured to generate light of a first intensity to illuminate the first display area with light of the first intensity, and generate light of a second intensity that is greater than the first intensity to illuminate the second display area with light of the second intensity. The wall is opposite to the transition area and is configured to permit passage of light of the first intensity and light of the second intensity to the transition area such that at the transition area there is a gradual transition from light of the second intensity proximate to the second display area to light of the first intensity proximate to the first display area.

A vehicle display device includes a displaying part configured to emit, as display light, display information to be viewed and recognized by an occupant in a cabin as a virtual image, a reflection member configured to reflect the display light emitted from the displaying part to project the display light on a projection target part in the cabin, and a controller configured to control the display light in accordance with a detection eye box representing a detection result of an eye box representing a range of an eye point of the occupant and allowing the virtual image to be viewed and recognized.
