  • Publication number: 20230221569
    Abstract: A virtual image display device includes: a switching mechanism for switching a position of a view angle including a first position and a second position; and a display control unit for displaying the virtual image in response to a switching of the position of the view angle by the switching mechanism. When the display control unit displays a specific content within the view angle at the second position after the switching mechanism switches the view angle from the first position to the second position, the display control unit starts displaying a related content preliminarily associated with the specific content before the switching of the view angle to the second position is completed.

  • Patent number: 9771022
    Abstract: A display apparatus for a vehicle includes a virtual image display device, a detection device, and a picture control device. The virtual image display device emits predetermined light to permit a windshield or a combiner to reflect the predetermined light towards an eye of a driver. The emitted predetermined light is to display a picture. The virtual image display device displays the picture in a displayed area as a virtual image; the picture appears ahead of the vehicle. The detection device detects a target that is an obstacle or an intersection. The picture control device displays the picture to appear below the target in the displayed area, and then moves the picture to a position corresponding to the target apparently while decreasing at least a width of the picture.
