  • Patent number: 11866062
    Abstract: A vehicle display device includes: an acquisition unit that acquires a travel environment; a prediction unit that predicts a behavior of another vehicle traveling ahead of a vehicle of a driver, based on the travel environment; and a display unit that, when the behavior of the other vehicle is predicted to become unstable, displays the predicted behavior of the other vehicle to the driver of the vehicle. The vehicle display device may include: a prediction unit that predicts a behavior of a vehicle, based on the travel environment; and a display unit that, when the behavior of the vehicle is predicted to become unstable, displays the predicted behavior of the vehicle to a driver of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20220292838
    Abstract: A vehicular display apparatus includes an obtaining unit that obtains obstacle information serving as information relating to an obstacle that hinders advancing of a preceding vehicle, and a display that displays the obstacle information in a situation where an own vehicle is stopped or is moving slowly, and the preceding vehicle is stopped or is moving slowly. The vehicular display apparatus displays a virtual image of the obstacle information, for example, in a case where the own vehicle is a first vehicle located on this side of an intersection, and the preceding vehicle is located on the other side of the intersection.

  • Publication number: 20220289227
    Abstract: A vehicular display apparatus includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire information regarding a speed of wind and a direction of the wind at a predetermined location ahead of a vehicle; a generation unit configured to generate a display figure, based on the information; and a display device configured to display an image of the display figure ahead of a driver in the vehicle, in which the generation unit generates, in a case where the wind includes a crosswind, the display figure in a horizontally-long flat shape and moves a display position of the display figure in a direction of the crosswind.

  • Publication number: 20220048389
    Abstract: A vehicle display device includes a housing mounted in a vehicle and having a light-shielding outer wall that forms an accommodation space, a slit being formed in the outer wall, a three-dimensional display surface disposed in the accommodation space and on which a real image is formed by display light, a projector disposed in the housing and configured to project the display light onto the display surface, and a reflector disposed outside the housing and having a reflection surface configured to reflect the real image toward an eyepoint in the vehicle. The shape of the reflection surface is a recessed shape such that light rays of the real image intersect in an optical path extending from the display surface to the reflection surface through the slit.
