Abstract: A piezoelectric substrate according to the present disclosure includes: a base body; an electrode formed at the base body; and a piezoelectric layer formed at the electrode and containing potassium, sodium, and niobium. A value of IR2/IR1 obtained by dividing an integrated intensity IR2 at a peak 2 by an integrated intensity IR1 at a peak 1, when a surface of the piezoelectric layer is measured by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, is less than 0.086. Here, the peak 1 has a strongest area intensity among peaks detected at wavenumbers of 475 cm?1 to 700 cm?1, and the peak 2 has an area intensity that is a sum of area intensities of peaks detected at wavenumbers of 1200 cm?1 to 1645 cm?1.

Abstract: A drive assist control apparatus assists a driving of a vehicle by controlling a light image projected on a road surface in front of the vehicle. The drive assist control apparatus includes a light image projector, a change portion detector, and a light image corrector. The light image projector projects an informative light image on the road surface. The informative light image represents information to be displayed to an occupant in the vehicle. The change portion detector detects a gradient change portion where a gradient of the road surface changes. The light image corrector corrects a projection position of the informative light image projected by the light image projector. The light image corrector moves the projection position to a position nearer to the occupant than the gradient change portion detected by the change portion detector.

Abstract: An image display apparatus includes a liquid crystal panel with a dual-view function to display two different first and second screen-sized images that are visible in a driver-seat direction and a passenger-seat direction, respectively. The first screen-sized image in the driver-seat direction contains a guidance image and a guidance manipulation image; the second screen-sized image in the passenger-seat direction contains a video image and a video manipulation image. When an occupant in the driver seat manipulates an icon within the guidance manipulation image on the liquid crystal display panel, the same guidance manipulation image is also displayed in the passenger-seat direction by replacing the video manipulation image.
