Abstract: A display system includes: a first display device displaying an image in a first region to cause the image to be visually recognized in a position at a first distance from a visual line of a driver of an auto-vehicle; a second display device displaying an image in a second region to cause the image to be visually recognized at a second distance greater than the first distance from the visual line; and a display controller displaying a warning image in the second region if a first condition is satisfied, moving the warning image to display a warning image in the first region if a second condition in which a warning level is higher than that of the first condition is satisfied after the first condition is satisfied, then updating the warning image to an updated warning image, and then moving the updated warning image to the second region.

Abstract: A head-up display device as a vehicle display device projects display light onto a front windshield of a vehicle, displays a virtual image by reflected display light, on the front windshield, so as to be superimposed on a real scene transparent through the front windshield, captures an image of a driver of the vehicle by projecting infrared light onto the driver, and detects the positions of the eyes of the driver based on the captured image. A control unit detects the position of a feature point of the face of the driver in the captured image and stores a positional relationship with the detected positions of the eyes, and, when it is difficult to detect the positions of the eyes in die captured image, estimates a viewpoint position of the driver based on the position of the feature point detected at this time and the positional relationship stored beforehand.

Abstract: In the case in which a loss of the viewpoint position of a driver occurs when a viewpoint position follow-up warping control is executed to update warping parameters according to the viewpoint position of the driver, and then the viewpoint position is re-detected, it is suppressed that the appearance of an image instantaneously changes in accordance with the update of the warping parameters and the driver is caused to feel uneasy. When the viewpoint loss in which at least one position of the right and left viewpoints becomes unclear is detected, a control unit, which executes the viewpoint position follow-up warping control, maintains, in a viewpoint loss period, the warping parameters set immediately before the viewpoint loss period, and, when the viewpoint position is re-detected after the viewpoint loss period, invalidates at least one warping process using the warping parameters corresponding to the re-detected viewpoint position.

Abstract: A head-up display apparatus prevents a driver from being confused when, for example, the number of overlaid images for alerting or emphasizing that are overlaid on an object increases due to the cutting-in of another vehicle, resulting in overlap between the overlaid images or between an overlaid image and another object resulting in an unclear correspondence relationship between the overlaid images and objects. A display control unit has: an overlap determination unit that, if a first overlay image is overlaid on a first object and a second object as a cut-in object is detected, determines the presence or absence of overlap between the overlaid images or the like; and a visibility control unit that, if the overlap occurs, makes the visibility of the first overlay image overlaid on the first object lower than the visibility of the second overlay image overlaid on the second object.

Abstract: A vehicular display device includes: an image display unit having a display screen capable of displaying an image at least in a part thereof; an image generation unit for generating the image to be displayed by the image display unit; and a projection unit for projecting the image toward a transparent windshield of a vehicle so that the image is reflected by the transparent windshield of the vehicle such that a user seated in the driver seat of the vehicle can view a virtual image. In accordance with a viewpoint position of the user, the image generation unit determines a length for display content in a use area of the display screen of the image display unit in a direction corresponding to a horizontal direction, the use area being an area used for displaying the image.

Abstract: The present invention enables prevention of collision with a forward obstacle by prompting an appropriate driving operation according to the relative speed or the relative distance between a host vehicle and the forward obstacle. With respect to a standard display position at which a virtual image is normally displayed in association with an attention object in an actual scene ahead of a host vehicle, the virtual image is displayed at a corrected display position which is on the lower side in the vertical direction and/or on the near side in the depth direction when seen from a viewer, depending on the relative speed or the relative distance between the host vehicle and the attention object in the actual scene.

Abstract: Provided is a display device capable of reliably moving a micromirror to a parking position when operation is stopped. A head-up display device drives a DMD element on the basis of electric power from a battery power supply. The head-up display device is provided with: a DMD controller for performing control of the DMD element on the basis of the electric power from the battery power supply; a voltage monitoring circuit for monitoring the voltage of the battery power supply; and a backup power supply for supplying power to the DMD controller as a backup of the battery power supply.

Abstract: In order to suppress changes in the angle of a virtual image relative to the apparent road surface, a display unit projects display light for displaying a virtual image inclined so as to be nonparallel with the vertical direction, with the horizontal direction as the axis; a display position control unit adjusts at least the position in the vertical direction at which the virtual image V displayed by the display unit is perceived, and, if the display position control unit increases the height of the virtual image V, a display angle control unit increases the inclination angle ? such that the far side of the virtual image rises up towards the viewer.

Abstract: An image processing unit to be applied to a display controller includes a generation unit for generating a display image including a display element corresponding to a virtual image viewed by a user. The generation unit determines the planar shape of the display element such that a size of the virtual image viewed by the user changes on the basis of the viewpoint height of the user. Specifically, when the viewpoint height changes from a reference position to a position Normal or Short lower than the reference position, the generation unit determines the planar shape of an enlarged display element. The planar shapes of the virtual image in a real space viewed by the user may extend in the front direction and the rear direction.

Abstract: A virtual image display unit displays a virtual image for an object in a real scene ahead of the vehicle. A display control unit causes the virtual image to be displayed at a correction display position closer to the upper side in the vertical direction and/or a deep side in the depth direction when viewed from a viewer, than a standard display position at which the virtual image is normally displayed in association with the object in the real scene ahead of a host vehicle, in accordance with the relative speed or the relative distance between the host vehicle and the object in the real scene.

Abstract: A display device includes: a control unit that causes any one of light sources to emit light, each of the light sources emitting light of a different color, generates illumination light of a color from the light emitted from the light sources, using a field-sequential method in which the light sources for emitting light are switched in sequence, and reflects toward a screen, through a reflection unit, the light that corresponds to the display image from among the illumination light; a temperature detection unit for detecting the temperature of a display element; and a temperature adjustment unit for adjusting the temperature of the display element. The control unit stops supplying current to the light sources and supplies current at a first current value only to the temperature adjustment unit when the detected temperature is within a low-temperature or high-temperature non-displayed range of the display element.
