Patent number: 6995755Abstract: A display controller for controlling display on a display surface of a display unit mounted on a vehicle. The display unit is rotatably mounted on the vehicle. A CPU of a controller recognizing that the vehicle is traveling, that a display surface of a display unit is oriented toward the driver's seat, and that a moving picture is displayed on the display surface, inhibits display of the moving picture on the display unit. The CPU of the controller, recognizing that the vehicle is traveling, that the display surface of the display unit is oriented toward the driver's seat, and that a moving picture is displayed on the display surface rotates the display unit to a position where an occupant of the driver's seat cannot watch the moving picture.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2002Date of Patent: February 7, 2006Assignee: Pioneer CorporationInventors: Takamasa Yamaguchi, Hitoshi Sato, Yukari Mizumura, Rie Yamashita, Hidetsugu Kubota, Toshiyuki Murata
