Abstract: A display system includes a display device, an optical device, and an operation receiver. The display device is switchable between an emitting state where first image light is allowed to be emitted from the display device and a non-emitting state where the first image light is not allowed to be emitted from the display device. The optical device is switchable between a reflecting state where light coming from a back of the mobile body is reflected from the optical device and a transmitting state where the light passes through the optical device. The operation receiver switches between a first mode where the display device is in the emitting state while the optical member is in the transmitting state and a second mode where the display device is in the non-emitting state while the optical member is in the reflecting state.

Abstract: A display apparatus includes a first mirror and a half mirror between a display device and a concave mirror. The first mirror reflects emission light emitted from an elongate display surface of the display device, toward the half mirror. The half mirror reflects the light reflected by the first mirror, toward the concave mirror. The concave mirror reflects the light reflected by the half mirror, toward the half mirror. In a top view of the display apparatus, a line passing through a center of the display surface in a longitudinal direction and parallel to the longitudinal direction and a tangent line passing through a center of a reflection surface of the concave mirror in a longitudinal direction and parallel to the longitudinal direction intersect at a predetermined angle.

Abstract: A display system includes: a display device; a reflection optical system; a housing; and a shield member. The reflection optical system includes at least a last reflective member on which light, emerging from a display screen of the display device, is incident either directly or indirectly. The shield member is held by the housing to assume either a shielding state or an unshielding state. The shielding state is a state where the shield member at least partially cuts off light incident on, or reflected from, the last reflective member. The unshielding state is a state where the shielding state is canceled. The shield member in the shielding state reflects, toward the viewer's eyes, external light impinging on the housing. The housing has a holding structure to hold the shield member, no matter whether the shield member assumes the shielding state or the unshielding state.

Abstract: A display system includes: a display device in a mobile body; a concave mirror for displaying, in a first mode, a virtual image of a display image shown by image light emitted by the display device; and a plane mirror for reflecting, in a second mode, a rear-view image shown by light that has entered the mobile body. In a top view of the mobile body, the display device and the concave mirror are disposed such that a straight line connecting centers of the display device and the concave mirror has a predetermined angle relative to a front-and-rear direction of the mobile body. A normal direction at a center of a concave mirror surface of the concave mirror when the first mode is functioning and a normal direction normal to a plane mirror surface of the plane mirror when the second mode is functioning are not parallel.
