  • Patent number: 10510276
    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a display of a vehicle includes a camera obtaining a face image of a driver, a sensor sensing a location of a seat on which the driver is seated, and a controller. The controller is configured to determine a location of an eye of the driver based on the face image and the location of the seat and to correct a projection location of a virtual image projected onto a display device based on the location of the eye. The apparatus allows the virtual image to be accurately matched with a road by changing the projection location of a virtual image depending on the height of a driver's eye, thereby providing the driver with an undistorted image.

  • Patent number: 10510280
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a display panel, a timing controller, a gate driver, and a data driver. The display panel includes a display area configured to display an image and a non-display area adjacent to a side of the display area in a first direction. The display area includes gate lines, data lines, gate dummy lines, data contact parts, and pixels. The data lines cross the gate lines and are insulated from at least a portion of the gate lines. The gate dummy lines are substantially in parallel to the gate lines and spaced from the gate lines. The data contact parts couple the gate dummy lines to the data lines at a side of the display panel in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The pixels are coupled to the gate lines and the data lines.
