Publication number: 20240068833Abstract: A vehicle display device includes a display that is mounted on a vehicle and superimposes and displays an image on a real landscape in front with respect to a front windshield, a controller that controls the display, and a position information acquisition unit that acquires a position of a preceding vehicle. The controller calculates a first virtual straight line that connects the position of the preceding vehicle and a position of the vehicle. When the controller determines that the first virtual straight line is along a straight direction of the vehicle, the controller displays a marker image at a position below the preceding vehicle. When the controller determines that the first virtual straight line is inclined with respect to the straight direction, the controller performs display movement control to display the marker image so as to be shifted from the position below the preceding vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Kazuyoshi Ogasawara, Takenobu Tomihira, Hiroki Kitahara

Publication number: 20160050387Abstract: A simulated-image output controller displays a subject-simulating image, serving as a simulated image representing a subject, on an output part. A subject data acquisition part reads one of or both of subject attribute data, which is stored in connection with an identification of the subject-simulating image, and subject-related data, relating to the subject attribute data, from a storage unit based on an instruction operation concerning the subject-simulating image being output on the output part. An image data acquisition part acquires image data which is produced by taking a shot of the subject. A subject information output controller outputs one of or both of the subject attribute data and the subject-related data, relating to the subject attribute data, which are read by the subject data acquisition part, in connection with the image data displayed on the output part.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2014Publication date: February 18, 2016Inventors: Takenobu KITAHARA, Yoshitaka YAJI

Publication number: 20020000772Abstract: On a glass substrate, a prism sheet for condensing rays emitted from an emitting layer, a circularly polarizing filter, and an antireflection film are laminated. The prism sheet is provided for each of red, green and blue display elements of the emitting layer and is divided by separators so as not to interfere one another. Control electrodes are laminated on and under the emitting layer. A positive pole is formed from ITO film and a hole carrying layer; and a negative pole is formed from a metal electrode and an electron carrying electrode.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2001Publication date: January 3, 2002Applicant: NEC CorporationInventor: Takenobu Kitahara
