  • Patent number: 11620098
    Abstract: A vehicle control device comprises: an acquisition unit configured to acquire information of outside brightness of the vehicle; and a control unit configured to control, based on the outside brightness, luminance of a plurality of display areas including a first display area displayed by a first display unit for displaying a situation of the vehicle and a second display area displayed by a second display unit for displaying a situation of the vehicle, the second display area being displayed below the first display area, wherein when the outside brightness is higher than a first threshold, the control unit suppresses luminance of the first display area in accordance with a decrease in the outside brightness, and when the outside brightness is equal to or lower than the first threshold, suppresses luminance of the second display area in accordance with the decrease.

  • Publication number: 20070201718
    Abstract: A speaker is provided in which first and second voice coils are disposed around a voice coil bobbin, a diaphragm has its inner circumferences attached to an area of the voice coil bobbin positioned between the first and second voice coils and its outer circumference supported at the forefront portion of the frame via a surround, and a spider has its inner circumference attached to an area of the voice coil bobbin positioned between the first and second voice coils and its outer circumference supported at the middle portion of the frame. Since the outer circumferences of the diaphragm and the spider are attached to the voice coil bobbin at the area(s) between the first and second voice coils, the axial length of the voice coil bobbin can be reduced, and consequently the entire axial length of the speaker can bereduced.
