A vehicle display device includes a display unit having a pointer, a dial plate as a background of the pointer, and a frame surrounding the dial plate, at least one of the pointer, the dial plate, and the frame being a physical element, and a virtual image display device that displays a virtual image overlapping with the physical element, in which the virtual image display device changes at least one of a color and a design of the virtual image overlapping with the physical element.

A display apparatus includes multiple display portions each of which displays a content different from one another, a decoration member which decorates one of the multiple display portions, an actuator which moves the decoration member, and a control portion which controls the actuator to move the decoration member to a position at which the decoration member decorates one display portion selected among the multiple display portions.

A dial plate is provided with a mark layer having translucency, the mark layer including numbers of linear grooves formed on a surface of the mark layer, and a reflective layer that is arranged on a back face side of the mark layer, and reflects light incident from the mark layer side. The reflective layer includes a light transmission area that allows the light emitted from a light source arranged on the back face side to transmit therethrough to a front face side, and displays a display design by the light transmitting through the light transmission area when the light source is turned on. In the reflective layer, at least the light transmission area is composed of pearl ink.

An on-vehicle display device includes a fixed panel fixed to a vehicle body, a display unit, and a bracket that fixes the display unit to the fixed panel. In the display unit, the display cover plate is provided with an overhang which laterally overhangs from a display area, and the overhang has a back side supported by a support piece of the bracket without being fixed to the fixed panel.

An operation of an autonomous vehicle is provided. The operation includes receiving first input reflective of a route to be traveled and second input reflective of trip experience preferences and searching for driving experience data related to the route. The operation further includes aggregating the first and second inputs with the driving experience data and plotting a travel plan incorporating the aggregated first and second inputs and the driving experience data.

A display device 30 displays information of variables that reflect a state of a vehicle 10. The display device 10 includes: a first display region 31 that displays a scale of a first variable; a second display region 32 that is provided to be aligned with the first display region 31 and displays a scale of a second variable; a first pointing portion 42 that points, in the first display region 31, the first variable in accordance with the state of the vehicle 10; a first strip-shaped image 43 that is displayed between a pointed position of the first pointing portion 42 and a start point S1 of the first display region 31; a second pointing portion 52 that points, in the second display region 32, the second variable in accordance with the state of the vehicle 10; and a second strip-shaped image 53 that is displayed between a pointed position of the second pointing portion 52 and a start point S2 of the second display region.

A carbon decorative panel includes a carbon-toned irregular surface. The carbon-toned irregular surface has a plurality of unit patterns that constitute a weave of pseudo carbon fiber bundles presenting carbon fiber bundles in a pseudo manner, as the protrusions and depressions that form the carbon-toned pattern. A plurality of unit patterns each have a top portion positioned at the center in the extending direction of the pseudo carbon fiber bundle and a pair of curved portions positioned on both sides of the top portion in the extending direction and formed in a curved shape. The curvature of a pair of curved portions in the section along the extending direction of a pair of curved portions is greater on the center portion side than on the end portion side in the crossing direction that crosses the extending direction.

A carbon decorative panel includes a clear decoration body and a carbon color layer. The clear decoration body has a main body 10a transmitting light and includes a carbon-toned irregular surface provided on the opposite side to the viewer side of the main body and having a carbon-toned pattern formed with protrusions and depressions. The carbon color layer is laminated on the carbon-toned irregular surface, includes a reflective surface reflecting incident light transmitted through the clear decoration body, and is colored in a carbon color.

A clear decoration body includes a character display area and an indicator display area that light up and display a design pattern by transmitting light. A first partition layer is laminated on a carbon style irregular surface, shields light, and forms a first partition boundary of the character display area. A carbon colored layer is laminated on the carbon style irregular surface, shields light, and forms a first partition boundary of the indicator display area. The character display area of the clear decoration body is provided with a projecting flat part that at least projects relative to a bottom part of irregularities of a decoration surface toward a side opposite to a viewing side, and that is formed in a flat shape.

A gauge assembly includes a gauge surface including at least one graphic, which may be a plurality of graphics defining a scale in a generally circular pattern on the gauge surface. The gauge surface has a viewable side. A light guide has a main body portion disposed adjacent to the gauge surface and corresponding to the shape of the gauge surface. The light guide has a plurality of raised tick marks extending from the main body portion. Each tick mark is viewable via a viewing side of the gauge surface. The light guide includes ends that curve away from the gauge surface to receive light. The light guide is configured to provide illumination to the illuminable graphic(s) and the plurality of tick marks.
