Patent number: 11400812Abstract: A display unit of the present invention includes a first display (head-up display) for displaying various information by irradiating a surface to be irradiated with video light and a control part for controlling the first display. The control part controls to display information on an inter-vehicle distance (bar graph), information on an inter-intersection (digital numerical value), an intersection image, and an arrow.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2020Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: YAZAKI CORPORATIONInventor: Harutoshi Nakajima

Patent number: 11292340Abstract: The present invention ascertains an action schedule of an automatic driving system when a host vehicle is travelling in an automatic driving mode, and uses an indirect weak expression to convey the action schedule to a driver, at an action schedule presentation start location (P2) which has more leeway with respect to a scheduled action location (P1) (steps S16, S18). In the case of an acceleration/deceleration action schedule, an illuminance distribution of the speedometer dial plate, a virtual pointer or the like is used to express the action schedule such that the driver is able to intuitively ascertain the acceleration or deceleration. In the case of a steering action schedule, the steering direction is expressed using a change in illumination near the steering wheel representing the direction of steering or the like is used.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2019Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: YAZAKI CORPORATIONInventors: Yukio Suzuki, Kenichi Nagahashi, Harutoshi Nakajima
