Abstract: A vehicular display apparatus is provided with an ambient-light luminous region that surrounds an outer periphery of a display region. An ambient light source emits light, which is then guided by an ambient-light guide body into an acrylic cylindrical body. The guided light is then outputted from a light output end face of the acrylic cylindrical body towards a light output direction. The light output end face forms the ambient-light luminous region. The vehicular display apparatus includes a light collection structure that collects an output light, which is outputted from the light output end face, towards the light output direction. Collecting the output light towards the light output direction enables the reduction of a light leakage to a direction different from the light output direction, improving an outputted luminance of the ambient-light luminous region.

Abstract: A display apparatus provides a display region to display information, and a peripheral light luminous region to output light. The display apparatus includes an indicator light source and a coloring transmissive member made of light transmissive material. The coloring transmissive member includes a light input face where the light emitted from the indicator light source enters; a light output face with a belt-like shape in an extended direction to form the light luminous region by outputting light inputted from the light input face; and an attenuation portion attenuating light transmitting from the light input face to the light output face. The attenuation portion has a thickness between the light input face and the light output face. The thickness changes to increase in the extended direction of the light output face as going from a central portion towards each of both end portions.

Abstract: The life of a lead acid storage battery is extended by changing an over-frequency equalized charge interval performed on a lead acid storage battery, in accordance with a transition situation of a state of charge (SOC) of the lead acid storage battery.

Abstract: A noise removing filter removes noise from an input image and an edge component extracting unit extracts edge components. The edge components are extracted by calculating a difference between the input image and a smoothed image, which is obtained by smoothing the input image in a smoothed image generating portion. An edge component comparing unit compares the extracted edge components with a threshold value and a sum calculating unit calculates the sum of the edge components greater than the threshold value. A control circuit determines the enhancement degree of the edges based on the sum and averaged luminance of the input image calculated by an average luminance calculating unit. An enhancement degree adjustment unit adjusts the determined enhancement degree, and an edge component enhancement unit enhances the edge components based on this enhancement degree and adds it to the input image to perform edge enhancement processing.
