Abstract: An environment image display apparatus for a transport machine including a plurality of cameras disposed at different positions on said transport machine for obtaining environment images around the transport machine. A mirror image is generated by projecting the transport machine on a virtual mirror using a portion or all of the images obtained by the plurality of cameras, and the generated mirror image is displayed. A display form of the mirror image is changed based on an operation performed by the user of the transport machine or a traveling condition of the transport machine.

Abstract: An on-vehicle multidirectional visual-recognition device includes a first visual-recognition mechanism including a front door window and a door mirror of a door mirror mechanism. A second visual-recognition mechanism includes a first mirror provided in a door-mirror housing of the door mirror mechanism so as to show a range from a side of a vehicle including an area below the door mirror mechanism to a front side of the vehicle. A sub window transmits light reflected by the first mirror and extends continuously from the front door window toward the front side of the vehicle via a frame. A second mirror reflects the light transmitted through the sub window toward a vehicle occupant. Brightness of the light to be received by the vehicle occupant is set substantially equal to brightness of the light at the first visual-recognition mechanism.

The apparatus includes a sub-window pane supported by a front pillar and a sub-pillar, a mirror housing of a door mirror for displaying a rear of the vehicle, and a first reflective mirror for displaying an area in front and to one side of the vehicle. The first reflective mirror is provided to the mirror housing. The apparatus also includes a second reflective mirror for reflecting the light reflected by the first reflective mirror toward a driver. The sub-window pane is disposed further toward the outside in a vehicle widthwise direction than a line passing over cross-sectional vehicle-widthwise direction centers of the front pillar and the sub-pillar. An outside edge of the second reflective mirror is positioned in the vicinity of the sub-window pane.

Abstract: An in-vehicle information display apparatus including a virtual image generator that projects a virtual image on a windshield of a vehicle. The virtual image generator projects the virtual image on a windshield in at least one of the following projection modes: a first projection mode and a second projection mode. In the first projection mode, the virtual image is projected on the windshield in such a way that the virtual image gradually becomes darker from bottom to top. In the second projection mode, the virtual image is projected on the windshield in such a way that the virtual image gradually becomes more lightly grayed from bottom to top.

Abstract: A device for visually confirming a forward direction that allows a crew member to visually confirm a desired range on the forward side of a vehicle includes a first reflecting mirror that reflects the desired range and a second reflecting mirror that reflects a reflected image reflected on the first reflecting mirror toward the crew member, the first reflecting mirror is arranged on a dashboard that is located inside the vehicle, and the second reflecting mirror is arranged on a lower side of the dashboard, and a first light transmitting part and a second light transmitting part are disposed in an area that connects the first reflecting mirror and the second reflecting mirror and an area that connects the second reflecting mirror and an eye-point of the crew member.

Abstract: A rear under mirror that is placed near a top edge portion of a rear window glass on a vehicle compartment interior side thereof, the rear under mirror including: a reflecting mirror that reflects a lower area behind a vehicle towards a driver's seat, the reflecting mirror comprising a concavo-convex mirror having a mirror surface that is formed as a concave surface in a substantially vertical direction and as a convex surface in a substantially horizontal direction, the reflecting mirror having a radius of curvature of the convex surface in a substantially horizontal direction of the reflecting mirror in the bottom portion area is larger than that of the top portion area, the reflecting mirror having a trapezoidal shape whose bottom side is longer than top side when viewed from a front thereof.

Abstract: A vehicle rear viewing device includes a rear under view mirror provided to face an inner surface of a rear windshield and capable of reflecting an area below and behind a vehicle to an occupant in an interior of the vehicle. A marker indicator is to allow the occupant to view the area below and behind the vehicle through the rear under view mirror to visually recognize a position of a rear end of a vehicle body. A rear wiper is provided on a rear part of the vehicle body so as to face an outer surface of the rear windshield. The marker indicator is provided so as to be covered with at least a part of the rear wiper along a front rear direction of the vehicle in front of the rear wiper when the rear wiper is in an initial position.

Abstract: A mirror device includes a reflecting surface. The reflecting surface is arranged in a vicinity of a rear window of a vehicle. The reflecting surface includes a concave part in a longitudinal direction of the reflecting surface and a convex part in a lateral direction of the reflecting surface. A line passing through a center of a virtual circle defining the concave part is inclined relative to a virtual horizontal line extending in a vehicle width direction toward a side opposite to a driver seat on either right or left of the vehicle in the vehicle width direction.

Abstract: A vision enhancement device for use in a vehicle that improves the frontward vision of an operator during operation. The device has two dividing lines set apart from each other on an instrument panel. These dividing lines show as false image lines on an inside surface of a front window, and divide the inside surface of the front window into a plurality of areas in a vertical direction. A second area formed between these two false image lines forms an appropriate visual field range when the operator looks forward while operating the vehicle. First light emitting means comprising light emitting diodes are disposed at both ends of each of the two dividing lines. The light emitted by these light emitting diodes is directed onto the front window as a false image in accordance with changes in the vehicle state and the environment around the vehicle.
