  • Patent number: 11648878
    Abstract: 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.
