Abstract: A surface panel is attached to an instrument panel so as to cover a display surface of a display unit disposed on the instrument panel of a vehicle. When the display unit is turned on, light L from the display unit is projected toward the driver's seat side via a thin hole formed in the surface panel.

Abstract: An in-vehicle device includes a functional unit to be arranged at an instrument panel of a vehicle and configured to perform an operation toward a driver seat of the vehicle, and a blinding panel covering a front surface of the functional unit. A plurality of perforations is formed in the blinding panel to extend through the blinding panel in a thickness direction of the blinding panel.

Abstract: A projection display device which outputs light that carries information including an arbitrary planar display image displayed in a prescribed display region and guides the light to a windshield of a vehicle so that the display image carried by the light reflected from a surface of the windshield or its vicinity is projected and visually recognized as a virtual image from a prescribed eye point. A first image forming plane and a second image forming plane are provided as image forming planes of the virtual image, the first image forming plane is disposed approximately parallel with a plane that is perpendicular to a line of sight that connects the eye point and the virtual image, and the second image forming plane is inclined with respect to the plane that is perpendicular to the line of sight that connects the eye point and the virtual image.

Abstract: A display unit is equipped with an LED circuit body for irradiating light onto the windshield of a vehicle and a surface panel positioned on the front side in the light irradiating direction of the LED circuit body and constituting part of the surface of the instrument panel of the vehicle. The surface panel is provided with a plurality of pores formed in the direction connecting the LED circuit body to the windshield. The light irradiating direction of the LED circuit body is set to the direction in which the light irradiated from the LED circuit body and reflected by the windshield is visually recognized by the driver.

Abstract: An HUD unit is equipped with a first display and a second display. The light irradiating directions of the first display and the second display are adjusted so that the first image irradiated from the first display, reflected by the front window of a vehicle and visually recognized by the driver of the vehicle and the second image irradiated from the second display to the eye point of the driver and visually recognized by the driver are visually recognized in a state of being arranged side by side.

Abstract: A vehicle display apparatus includes a display part for use in a vehicle and displaying information; and a cover part capable of switching its state between a first state not allowing the display part to be visually recognized by a vehicle driver and a second state allowing the display part to be visually recognized by the vehicle driver.

Abstract: A display unit incorporated in the housing surface of an instrument panel changes its display variously together with other display devices of the instrument panel such as a liquid crystal display, and displays information such as driving information, danger notification information and entertainment information in coordination.

Abstract: In a load control unit, three R, G, and B LED chips that constitute each light source (33a-33d) of reading lamps (25-31) and a connector (35) with a built-in controller are mounted on a circuit board (37) to thereby eliminate the connection of a controller (35b) built into the connector (35) with the built-in controller and the respective light sources (33a-33d) by signal lines. In addition, the controller (35b) and a lighting ECU (43) are connected by a multiplex communication line (39), and the multiplex communication line (39) is routed in pillars (15, 17) of a vehicle (1). Consequently, the number of wires can be reduced compared with when individual wires connected to the respective light sources (33a-33d) are passed through the pillars (15, 17), and thereby making it possible to effectively use limited spaces within the pillars (15, 17) through which many other wires are passed.

Abstract: A wire harness includes a conduction path, and a flexible sheathing member through which the conduction path passes and which has recessed sections and protruded sections. The recessed sections and the protruded sections extend in a circumferential direction on the surface of the sheathing member and are formed alternately along a longitudinal direction of the sheathing member. A curing-type adhesive or resin containing the adhesive is supplied to the recessed sections of a bent part which is formed when the wire harness is bent, and cured while the bent part is maintained in a bent shape.

Abstract: A wire harness for which an exterior member can be maintained in a desired shape is provided. A flexible, tubular corrugated tube (16) which covers electric wires (18) and a route keeping tape (17) which is more difficult to extend or buckle in the widthwise direction than the corrugated tube (16) are included, and the route keeping tape (17) is wound helically around a bent part (20), which is formed by bending the corrugated tube (16), along the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: A wire harness includes a tubular sheathing member that covers at least one conduction path, and at least one path-maintaining member that is formed in flat plate shape corresponding to a bent part formed by bending the sheathing member. A tape is wrapped around the path-maintaining member while the path-maintaining member is placed along the bent part.

Abstract: A display device is provided with which even a driver who does not recognize a hill-start assist function can easily understand an operation condition when the hill-start assist function is operated. The display device includes an indicator mounted in the vehicle and an indicator-controlling unit to control the indicator. When the brake pedal is released in a state that the brake pedal is stepped on while the vehicle is stopped on the uphill road, the indicator-controlling unit displays a state that the hill-start assist function is operated in a character onto the indicator. Also, in the state in which the hill-start assist function is operated, the indicator-controlling unit displays the state in a character onto the indicator.

Abstract: An electric connecting structure includes L-shaped terminals having electric connecting portions and a resin member which contains the electric connecting portions. The L-shaped terminals are assembled to a circuit board so that a mounting direction of electric components to the resin member is substantially parallel to an extending direction of the circuit board. The electric components are mounted to the resin member in a plurality of stages which are stacked in a substantially vertical direction with respect to the extending direction of the circuit board. Mounting planes of the resin member in which the electric components are mounted to the resin member are arranged in a step-like shape so as to be displaced backward in the mounting direction by a unit of the stage in accordance with increasing of a distance from the circuit board.

Abstract: A theft protection system for an electrical component mounted on a vehicle has an electronic device attached to a case housing the electrical component, a theft detection unit for detecting that connection of the electronic device is disconnected, and a notification for notifying a detection result by the theft detection unit. When theft detection unit detects that connection of the electronic device is disconnected, a result of the detection is notified by notification unit.

Abstract: A display unit incorporated in the housing surface of an instrument panel on the passenger seat side changes its display variously together with other display devices such as a liquid crystal display and a line illumination, and displays information such as driving information, danger notification information and entertainment information in coordination.
