A display system includes an image display part displaying an image indicating a mode selected in a driving device of a vehicle having a plurality of modes. The image display part displays all images indicating each of the plurality of modes, and displays the image indicating the selected mode to be different in at least one of color, brightness, character format, and size from an image indicating a non-selected mode.

Display system

A display switching device () includes: a lens array (); a display part (), comprising pixel regions () disposed to include regions in which light in which respective light emitted from light sources () is condensed by respective lenses () of the lens array () passes through. A transmittance of each pixel region () is set corresponding to a predetermined stationary pattern. Display of the display part () performed through irradiation of the light of the light sources () exhibits directivity, and a first averaged oriented direction (D) averaging, among the light sources (), oriented directions as directions of the directivity is inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to a normal direction of a display surface () of the display part ().

Display switching device, vehicle display system and automobile

A display switching device according to one or more embodiments may display images by switching light illumination from multiple light source positions. The device may include a lens array including multiple lenses that allow passage of light from the light source positions, a display layer including pixel regions that allow passage of light collected on the lenses included in the lens array, and a diffusion layer located opposite to the light source positions with the lens array in between to diffuse passing light. The diffusion layer optically adheres to a layer adjacent to a surface of the diffusion layer nearer the light source positions, or the diffusion layer and the layer adjacent the surface of the diffusion layer nearer the light source positions include the same material.

Display switching device, button device for game machine, and switch

A display switching device according to one or more embodiments may include a lens array including an array of a plurality of lenses and a display unit. Light from each of the plurality of light source positions transmits through a different position on the display unit and is focused by a corresponding lens. A transmittance on the display unit through which the light transmits differs depending on a position on the display unit. The transmittance at a position of a plurality of positions on the display unit is a transmittance of one of three or more types.
