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.

An assembly and method for updating a display assembly of a control panel is disclosed with optimal uniform illumination. In some instances, embodiments include efficient and cost effective methods for upgrading display assemblies without having to completely overhaul the electrical, mechanical, or wiring components already existing within the control panel.

Provided is a head-up display capable of achieving a balance in visibility between a virtual image and foreground displayed on each of a plurality of virtual display surfaces for virtual images. A first virtual image display surface and a second virtual image display surface are generated at different positions in the depth direction from the perspective of a viewer, and the ratio between the visibility level of a first virtual image displayed on the first virtual image display surface and the visibility level of a second virtual image displayed on the second virtual image display surface is gradually altered (increased or decreased) according to prescribed parameter information P which is presented as numerical values or in multiple levels.

Provided is a lighting device for an automobile air vent. The lighting device for an automobile air vent has a variable resistor, a light emitter, a light guide, and a diffusion plate. The variable resistor is connected to a knob of an air vent and is configured to vary resistance according to a manipulation amount of the knob. The light emitter is connected to the variable resistor and is configured to emit light such that brightness or color of the light is varied according to the variable resistance varied by the variable resistor. The light guide is configured to guide the light emitted by the light emitter. The diffusion plate is installed in an air vent housing of the air vent and is configured to diffuse the light guided through the light guide.

According to one embodiment, a display system includes a display device that displays an image rearward of a vehicle, a first illuminance sensor that detects the brightness around the vehicle, and a second illuminance sensor that detects the intensity of the light emitted onto the front surface of the display device, and the display device includes a housing with an opening on the front side, an electro-optic layer with a transmissive-reflective layer that transmits a portion of incident light and reflects another portion of the incident light, the electro-optic layer being configured to vary the reflectivity of the incident light, a display placed on the rear side of the electro-optic layer and configured to display at least a portion of the rearward image of the vehicle, and a control circuit that controls the brightness of the display based on a value of at least one of first illuminance and second illuminance.

A display control system includes an obtainer that obtains display device information on each of display devices, a calculator that calculates a correction value corresponding to each of the display devices, on the basis of the display device information, and a display that generates an image to be displayed across two or more display devices among the display devices. The display corrects the image to be displayed across the two or more display devices, on the basis of the correction value corresponding to each of the two or more display devices, and displays, across the two or more display devices, the image corrected.

A display device that is mounted in a vehicle includes a light projection device configured to emit projection light, an adjuster configured to adjust a direction of the projection light emitted by the light projection device, and a control device configured to control the light projection device and the adjuster. The control device is configured to control the adjuster to change the direction of the projection light according to whether the vehicle travels by autonomous parking control or whether the vehicle travels without using the autonomous parking control.

A luminance determining unit 14 determines a luminance distribution of an exterior circumstantial image in a line-of-sight direction of a driver 300, and a luminance changing unit 15 determines a bright region 301 of this luminance distribution. Further, the luminance changing unit 15 determines a luminance after the change in a peripheral region 302 of this bright region 301. A virtual-image creating unit 16A creates a virtual image based on the determined luminance, and a display processing unit 17 displays this virtual image on a display unit 200. In this manner, since a display system 1A displays the virtual image for use in increasing the luminance in periphery of the bright region 301, the feeling of the brightness for the driver 300 can be moderated, and therefore, the visual recognition can be improved. That is, the display system 1A can output the virtual image depending on the circumstances.

For automated driving, a driving system can be operated at least in a first automated driving mode with automated longitudinal and/or transverse guidance. A display device includes a driving mode display with a lighting unit. The driving mode display corresponds to a steering wheel display with a light strip structure for the steering wheel rim that can be lit up. A control device coupled to the display is also provided, for controlling the display. The control device is designed to control the driving mode display such that, upon activation of the first automated driving mode, the lighting unit lights up in a first lighting state with a specific luminous intensity, so as to indicate the activation of the first automated driving mode to the driver. The driving mode display is controlled such that, following the activation of the first automated driving mode, with the first driving mode still active, the lighting unit is operated in a dimmed lighting state as compared to the first lighting state, with a reduced luminous intensity in relation to the luminous intensity of the first lighting state.

A meter ECU changes a display color of a meter display item without changing a luminance of a first backlight of a first display and a display color of a first lamp display item, between when an illuminance detected by an optical sensor is higher than a certain threshold value (step S2, step S3) and when the illuminance is lower than the certain threshold value (step S7, step S8).
