Abstract: An onboard display device in accordance with the present invention includes a display section (11) attached to an instrument panel of a vehicle. The section (11) has a second display area (11b) and a first display area (11a). The second display area (11b) shows at least the speed as vehicle condition images indicating the conditions of the vehicle. The first display area (11a) shows a navigation image and other secondary images. The display section (11) measures greater in width than in height with an aspect ratio of 7:3 or greater. The aspect ratio is the width/height ratio of a display area. The onboard display device allows for a visibility-improved simultaneous display of the secondary image, such as a navigation image, and the vehicle condition image, such as a speed display, which presents information on the conditions of the vehicle.

Abstract: An image data obtaining section reads out map information displayed in a display device from a map information storage section and converts the map information into image data so as to cause an image data storage memory to store the image data, and a changing display control section reads out the image data and causes the display device to scale down or scale up the image data, and a determined size information generation section reads out the map information from the map information storage section and converts the map information into determined size information by adjusting a scale-down or scale-up factor of the map information to a display scale factor specified in a scale-down or scale-up determination instruction given by a user, and a determined display control section causes the display device to display the determined size information, thereby realizing an information display control device which can convert information displayed in the display device into information, which is accurately displayed a

Abstract: A display screen of an onboard display device is disposed so that a speedometer is displayed in front of a driver of a vehicle. When a right-turn instruction is detected, a blinker is displayed and a rightward rear view image outside the vehicle is displayed on the right side of the display screen. When a left-turn instruction is detected, a blinker is displayed and a leftward rear view image outside the vehicle is displayed on the left side of the display screen. Displaying the image in different positions of the display screen according to the right or the left turn instruction facilitates an intuitive determination of a meaning of the image and makes it easier to drive the vehicle.

Abstract: A display system of the present invention for a vehicle includes plural speed display areas which are capable of being simultaneously displayed, such as a first speed display area and a second speed display area, and a display controlling section causing predetermined one of speed display areas to display speed and for causing other one or more of speed display areas to display information other than speed according to necessity. This allows decrease in false recognition of the speed. With this, a display system for a vehicle can be provided, the display system being able to improve safety of driving by a user by getting rid of false recognition of speed, which is important information for safe driving.

Abstract: There is provided a system for showing a multi-directional image of surroundings of transportation device requiring a manual maneuver, when starting the transportation device in a parked state (stop state). The surroundings exhibiting system is constituted by an omnidirectional camera, an ignition instruction detection sensor, a control section including a CPU and a frame memory, and a liquid crystal panel. The omnidirectional camera captures an omnidirectional image of the surroundings around the transportation device in synchronization with a driver's ignition instruction detected by the ignition instruction detection sensor. Further, the captured image data is temporally stored in the frame memory, and the stored image data is sequentially transmitted to the liquid crystal panel so as to be displayed thereon.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display device (100) includes mean value computing sections (9a, 9b) and an optical intensity regulation section (11). The mean value computing section (9a) outputs a mean luminance level (A1) for the pixels forming an image display produced in a driver seat display area (2). The mean value computing section (9b) outputs a mean luminance level (A2) for the pixels forming an image display produced in a front passenger seat display area (3). The optical intensity regulation section (11) controls (regulates) the output optical intensity of backlights (4a, 4b) according to the mean luminance level (A1) and the mean luminance level (A2). As a result, the luminance of the image display in the front passenger seat display area (3) is further limited than the luminance of the image display in the driver seat display area (2). The control ensures high visibility of image displays for the driver.

Abstract: An instrument panel image display device displays an instrument panel image by which various information is provided to a driver. In this device, the instrument panel image includes a plurality of gauge-like images displayed at specific positions in the instrument panel image display device. Further, this device includes an image data changing section for changing image data, which generates each gauge-like image, into image data, which generates another gauge-like image. This makes it possible to display a new instrument panel image by combining various gauge-like images. That is, in this instrument panel image display device, it is possible to more freely select the instrument panel image.
