  • Publication number: 20240071231
    Abstract: A human machine interface is configured to select an information display destination from among a plurality of display areas. The HCU acquires a sight line direction of a driver based on an image of an in-vehicle camera. The HCU displays, upon detecting a hop-off action of the driver based on an output signal of an in-vehicle sensor in a situation in which an attention target event such as a puddle, a step, other vehicle or the like exists on a road surface near a door of a driver's seat, in the display area corresponding to the driver's sight line direction, text or an image practically indicating (a) a content of an attention target event or (b) how to deal with a situation.

  • Patent number: 9366423
    Abstract: Disclosed is an LED illumination device of a simple configuration, capable of suppressing thermal resistance to a low level, and of effectively dissipating heat generated from LED elements. Rigidity of a mounting plate is ensured by a wall of a certain height, and thereby the mounting plate now becomes possible to endure saturation vapor pressure of a coolant liquid possibly exerted thereon, and vacuum state or near-vacuum state when the coolant liquid is injected, without being deformed. Since the rigidity of the mounting plate is ensured by the wall, a wall composing a bottom face of recesses may now be thinned, and this is advantageous in view of allowing the heat generated from the LED elements to effectively conduct to the coolant liquid, and of effectively cooling the LED elements.
