CAMERA, HEAD-UP DISPLAY SYSTEM, AND MOVABLE OBJECT

A camera includes an image sensor, a signal processor, and an output unit. The image sensor obtains a first image being a subject image including an eye of a user of a head-up display. The signal processor generates a second image by reducing a resolution of an area of the first image other than an eyebox area. The eyebox area is an area within which a virtual image displayable by the head-up display is viewable by the eye of the user. The output unit outputs the second image to the head-up display.

A three-dimensional display device includes a display panel that displays a parallax image, an optical panel including a plurality of less-transmissive portions and a plurality of transmissive portions repeatedly arranged alternately in a parallax direction, and a controller that controls the display panel. Each of the plurality of transmissive portions has a first width in the parallax direction greater than a second width of each of the plurality of less-transmissive portions in the parallax direction. The controller causes the display panel to display a black image in a binocular viewable area on the display panel viewable to two eyes of a user to allow parallax separation of the parallax image.
