A display system in a vehicle is operated to reduce power consumption by adaptively dimming display screens according to where a user is looking. The display system has a plurality of display objects each with a respective adjustable brightness. The passenger vehicle includes a gaze tracker evaluating an eye of a user to detect a gaze point where the user is looking. The gaze point is compared to locations of the display objects. A respective gaze frequency is determined for one or more of the display objects according to a number of times that the gaze point orients onto a respective display object. The adjustable brightness of the respective display object is adjusted according to the respective gaze frequency.

A system for controlling a vehicle operation based on a driver gaze direction includes a plurality of sensors and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to determine a gaze direction of a driver using the plurality of sensors and selectively activating a vehicle function based on the gaze direction.

Disclosed is a system for controlling a vehicle display. The system includes a display and processors that confirm an external interest information of a first occupant in a vehicle; and a display controller that performs control to display the external interest information of the first occupant through the vehicle display.

An information display method is implemented by using a head-up display device that displays information onto a windshield of a vehicle. The method includes detecting a position of a target object present outside the vehicle. The method includes calculating, based on an eye point of a driver, a field-of-view range defining a space where presence of the target object is visually recognizable by the driver. The method includes calculating, based on the eye point, a display range defining a space viewable by the driver through a range on the windshield in which the information is displayed. The method includes displaying target object information at a position corresponding to the target object when a position of the target object is outside the field-of-view range and inside the display range. The method includes hiding the target object information when the position of the target object is inside the field-of-view range.

An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle that includes a display panel, a light source that irradiates light to the display panel, a first optical system that forms, onto a screen plate, a first optical image of a video on the display panel, and a second optical system that converts the first optical image into a second optical image that is a virtual image. The first and second optical systems are configured such that the first optical system's optical axis, at an incident surface side of the screen plate, is parallel to the second optical system's optical axis at an emission surface side of the screen plate. The first optical image formed on the screen plate is obtained by enlarging the video, and the virtual image is obtained by enlarging the first optical image formed on the screen plate by the second optical system.

A display control device for a vehicle, includes: an intersection information acquiring section that acquires, from a planned travel route of a vehicle that is set in advance, information of an intersection through which passage is planned; and an image display section that, if the intersection is not an intersection satisfying a predetermined condition, in a case in which the vehicle approaches the intersection, causes display of an animation that heads toward the intersection in a display region provided in front of a vehicle occupant and in a manner of being superimposed on a foreground, and, if the intersection is an intersection satisfying the predetermined condition, does not cause display of the animation.

A display system for a motor vehicle includes a projection device having a display device which is configured to output image-bearing light for projecting a display image in an eye area of a user via a display surface. A combiner surface reflects the image-bearing light into the eye area of the user. A device configured to obtain an eye pose of the user transforms a display image with the aid of a post-transformation matrix so that local flaws in a surface section of the combiner surface which result in a distortion or a fuzziness of a perception image perceptible by the user are compensated. A display image is displayed on the display surface using brightness values so that a homogeneous and high contrast representation results based on the eye pose of the user and the detail of the combiner surface. The transformed display image is output via the display device.
