Abstract: A surface panel is attached to an instrument panel so as to cover a display surface of a display unit disposed on the instrument panel of a vehicle. When the display unit is turned on, light L from the display unit is projected toward the driver's seat side via a thin hole formed in the surface panel.

Abstract: A vehicle warning device includes a housing disposed at a front of a roof in a vehicle compartment, a plurality of light emitting units provided in the housing to emit warning light having directionality, a seating sensor that detects a seated state of an occupant on each of back seats in the vehicle compartment, a wearing sensor that detects a wearing state of a seat belt of each of the back seats, and an ECU that controls turning on of each of the light emitting units based on the seated state and the wearing state, and each of the light emitting units corresponds to the occupant on each of the back seats, and has an optical axis disposed with respect to the housing toward an eye point region ER including an eye point of the occupant on the back seat.

Abstract: A display unit incorporated in the housing surface of an instrument panel on the passenger seat side changes its display variously together with other display devices such as a liquid crystal display and a line illumination, and displays information such as driving information, danger notification information and entertainment information in coordination.

Abstract: An in-vehicle device includes a functional unit to be arranged at an instrument panel of a vehicle and configured to perform an operation toward a driver seat of the vehicle, and a blinding panel covering a front surface of the functional unit. A plurality of perforations is formed in the blinding panel to extend through the blinding panel in a thickness direction of the blinding panel.

Abstract: A display device for a vehicle includes first and second display units that respectively display vehicle information and are arranged behind a steering wheel of the vehicle, and a front face cover that covers a front face of the first display unit and a front face of the second display unit. The first display unit is arranged at a portion inside of the steering wheel in a radial direction of the steering wheel on a field of view from an eye range of a person sitting on a driving seat of the vehicle. The second display unit is arranged at a portion outside of the steering wheel in the radial direction of the steering wheel on the field of view from the eye range. The front face cover is integrally formed so as to be continuous in the radial direction of the steering wheel.

Abstract: An indication display unit for a vehicle has a reflecting member having an electric unit, a supporting member having a connecting portion electrically connectable with and disconnectable from the electric unit. The support member removably holds the reflecting member at a position of an instrument panel of a dash board with the reflecting surface thereof directed to a driver's seat. An indicating device is located at any position other than the dash board with the indicating surface thereof directed to the reflecting surface so as to project various operational information indicated on the indicating surface to the reflecting surface. Since the reflecting member of the present invention is provided with an electric unit and a removable connecting portion, it can be easily replaced by another type of reflecting member.

Abstract: An indication display unit for a vehicle, includes a reflecting device having a reflecting surface directed to a driver's seat which reflecting surface has a reduced reflectivity. An indicating device having an indicating surface directed to the reflecting surface of the reflecting device. Operational information concerning driving operation of the vehicle is indicated on the indicating surface of the indicating device, and is reflected on the reflecting surface of the reflecting device to be visibly observed by a driver. As the reflectivity of the reflecting surface is reduced, the visibility of the displayed image from the indicating surface may be improved. Since the reflecting device is provided on a dashboard, and the indicating device is located at any position other than the dashboard, a meter hood may be removed to ensure more space in the dashboard.

Abstract: To unvisualize the mechanical indicating instrument for an automotive vehicle when the ignition switch is turned off, the pointer is covered by a pointer cover below zero indication when the meter is deactivated, or a semitransparent front cover is disposed in front of the dial. In this case, the meter is offset by an offset magnet from a zero position to under the pointer cover when deactivated. On the other hand, to visualize the same instrument, when the ignition switch is turned on, lamps disposed in front and/or back of the dial are illuminated and a colored transparent pointer is illuminated by another or the same lamp in linkage with the ignition switch.
