A position in a left-right direction of a display position of a facility figure representing a facility is set to a position overlapping with a virtual line parallel to a traveling lane as viewed from a driver (c). A position in an up-down direction of the display position is determined to be a position overlapping with a road surface on the front side, the position separated upward by H1 from a lower end of a display area of a heads-up display when a distance L from a current position CP to a position TP of a facility is a distance ThL (b1), to be a position separated by H4 (H4<h1) when the distance L is zero, and such that distances H2 and H3 separated upward from the lower end of the display area gradually change from the distance H1 to the distance H4 as the distance L decreases from the distance ThL to zero (b2 and b3). The distance H1 is set such that the facility figure is displayed below a point facing the facility on the road surface on the front side when the distance L is the distance ThL.

A display device for a motor vehicle includes a first, planar display element arranged in a first display plane of the display device, and at least one further, planar display element, each arranged in a further display plane of the display device, upstream of the first display element in a viewing direction of a user. Together with the first display element, the at least one further display element forms a multilayered combination of display elements. Each of the at least one further display element has an at least partly transparent display surface and a visual protection element for setting a degree of a transparency of at least one region of the display element.

An information provision device and an information provision method. Each of the information provision device and information provision method includes projecting an image light to a light transmission member so as to display a for-driver information image, sensing a relative distance of an object to be detected existing around the mobile object in the direction of travel, detecting a location of a viewpoint of the driver, and changing a position at which an object image indicating the object to be detected is displayed according to a result of the detecting so as to change a perception distance of the driver influenced by a motion parallax of the object image according to the relative distance of the object to be detected in the direction of travel.

A digital cockpit display (1) for a vehicle has a display device (2) with electronic display elements (3a-3n) arranged in the form of a matrix and by means of which information can be visualized. A control device (4) enables control of the display elements (3a-3n) to visualize the information. The display device (2) has micro-electromechanical actuators (5a-5n) that are connected to the display elements (3a-3n) and are selectively controllable by the control device (4) so that they initiate a linear movement of the display elements (3a-3n) between a retracted position in which a longitudinal extension of the microelectronic actuators (5a-5n) is minimal and a fully extended position in which the longitudinal extension of the microelectronic actuators (5a-5n) is maximal.

A display device is provided. The display device includes a plurality of diffractive optical elements each configured to emit light guided in a light guide plate to a user. Virtual images by the light are observed by the user at two or more different depths according to the plurality diffractive elements.

A three-dimensional augmented reality head-up display includes a display device functioning as a light source; and a freeform surface mirror for reflecting light from the light source onto a windshield of a vehicle. An image created by the light from the light source is focused on the ground in front of the vehicle as a virtual image of a three-dimensional perspective, through a reflection method in which the light from the light source is reflected onto the windshield by means of the freeform surface mirror.

A decorative member that is a three-dimensional modeled article comprises a sheet, a lens part, and an image-forming part. The sheet has a light-transmitting property and has a first sheet surface formed as a curved surface. The lens part is provided so as to curve along the first sheet surface. The lens part comprises a plurality of protruding lenses disposed in parallel. The image-forming part comprises a specific image depiction region in which a specific image is depicted. A minimum value of a width of the specific image depiction region is in a range of 2 mm or more and 20 mm or less. The curved surface has a first region to a third region having different normal directions and has a shape in which one of the normal directions of the respective regions is inclined with respect to a plane including the other two normal directions.

Image contents are displayed with a spatial impression of depth for interaction with image contents displayed on a display device in a transportation vehicle, the image contents having control elements in more than one depth plane. An operating action by a user is detected by at least one sensor provided in the transportation vehicle, and it is determined in which depth plane an operating element should be operated. An interaction with a displayed operating element takes place in the determined depth plane according to the detected operating action. A touch screen is provided for the operating action of the user wherein the level of pressure exerted by the user is detected and the user interacts with operating elements in different depth planes based on the detected pressure level. Alternatively, a gesture sensor is provided for the operating action by the user.

Embodiments of the present invention provide an Augmented Reality (AR) method and apparatus for driving assistance, which are applied in the technical field of AR. The method comprises the steps of: determining, based on information acquired during the driving process, driving assistance information, and displaying virtual three dimensional (3D) display information corresponding to the driving assistance information. In the present invention, the AR technology can be applied in the vehicle travelling process to assist a driver in better mastering driving information in the vehicle travelling process, and the user experience can be improved.

A fingerprint recognition vehicle control apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a display unit including a hemispherical display, optical fibers provided in the display and connected to the display through one end of the optical fibers, and a light source connected to the other ends of the optical fibers; a fingerprint recognition unit including a fingerprint recognition sensor and a fingerprint pattern light source provided in the display unit; a gearshift including a physical wheel for operating gear stages and indicators indicating gear states; and a controller operating on the basis of information received from the display unit, the fingerprint recognition unit and the gearshift.
