  • Patent number: 10322673
    Abstract: A driving assistance device includes: an imaging unit; a projection unit that projects an image based on image information from the imaging unit toward a projection surface; and an adjustment unit that is configured to form image information that an image sensor of the imaging unit acquires to be adjusted image information that is adjusted for the projection surface, wherein the adjustment unit includes an optical correction structure that causes the image sensor to acquire the adjusted image information by optical correction.

  • Patent number: 10254539
    Abstract: On the basis of information detected from a peripheral situation detecting section and information from an automatic driving support section, a display control section generates image data in which marks for driving support of an own vehicle are drawn so as to be superposed on a forward situation diagram that shows a situation at a front side. Further, from information detected by an eye detecting section and from the image data, the display control section sets a vanishing point in accordance with a height position of eyes and computes a display image. Moreover, on the basis of the information detected by the eye detecting section, the display control section causes a display image to be displayed on the front windshield glass by a HUD such that the vanishing point is set in accordance with the height position of the eyes.

  • Patent number: 9989275
    Abstract: A front movable louver is configured for one central horizontal fin axially supported to be turnable in the horizontal direction substantially at the up-down center inside an air outlet, while an upper auxiliary horizontal fin is axially supported so as to be storable and turnable in the horizontal direction in a storing recess provided on an upper wall surface inside the air outlet, and a lower auxiliary horizontal fin axially supported to be storable and turnable in the horizontal direction in a storing recess provided on a lower wall surface inside the air outlet. The central horizontal fin is axially supported to be turnable by pivots provided to project substantially at the centers of both sides. The upper auxiliary horizontal fin and the lower auxiliary horizontal fin are axially supported to be turnable in a manner of sticking out downstream-side end portions to a passage side.

  • Patent number: 9758020
    Abstract: The front movable louver (3) includes one central fin (7) and an upper auxiliary fin (8) and a lower auxiliary fin (9) storable in storing recesses (6a, 6b) inside an air outlet. The central fin (7) is axially supported turnably by pivots (7a) provided on both sides of the vicinity of the downstream side end portion. The upper auxiliary fin (8) and the lower auxiliary fin (9) are axially supported turnably so as to stick out their downstream side end portions to the passage (5) side by pivots provided on both sides of the vicinities of the upstream side end portions. A cam link mechanism (10) turns the upper auxiliary fin (8) and the lower auxiliary fin (9) so that the upper auxiliary fin (8) sticks out its downstream side end portion to the passage side, and the lower auxiliary fin (9) becomes parallel to and approaches the central fin (7) so that these fins function as one large fin when the central fin (7) is turned in the short-side direction of the air outlet (15).

  • Publication number: 20160272119
    Abstract: An image projecting device and a driving support device, that can suppress light from a projecting unit heading toward eyes of a vehicle occupant, are provided. An image projecting device that structures a visual information supplementing device has: a projector that is disposed at a side opposite a cabin with respect to a roof head lining, and that projects an image through an opening, that is formed in the roof head lining, toward a vehicle cabin interior; and an erect wall that is a concealing structure that conceals the opening from a field of view of a driver.

  • Publication number: 20160243986
    Abstract: A display device includes a front pillar having a curved surface that is convex toward a vehicle cabin side, a curvature of the curved surface being smaller at a lower side in a vehicle vertical direction than at an upper side. The display device also includes a display portion provided at least at a lower portion in the vehicle vertical direction at the curved surface of the front pillar, an image being displayed on the display portion.

  • Publication number: 20160134815
    Abstract: A driving assist device comprising: an imaging device that captures at least a portion of a vehicle-outside region configuring a blind spot for a driver; and a projection device that projects such that the driver views an image captured by the imaging device as a virtual image positioned at the vehicle outside of a vehicle component causing the blind spot.
