A light emitting device to be mounted on a mount surface of a vehicular compartment includes a housing including a first section having an air intake hole and a second section having an air discharge hole, a cooling fan device arranged in the first section, and a light emitter arranged in the second section. The housing further includes a discharge cavity having the discharge hole. The light emitter and the cooling fan device are arranged in a first arrangement direction laterally along the mount surface. The light emitter includes a board member and a light emitting element. The board member has a first surface that is opposite the mount surface and a second surface that is an opposite surface of the first surface and on which the light emitting element is mounted. The first surface of the board member is defined as a portion of the discharge cavity.

Light emitting device

A vehicle light-adjusting system capable of adjusting the brightness in a vehicle interior day and night and appropriately performing light-adjustment for each of occupants. The vehicle light-adjusting system includes an incident portion which external light enters, a light-adjusting member arranged in the incident portion, a light emitting unit provided in an interior of the vehicle, and a control unit. The control unit controls transmittance of the light-adjusting member and controls illuminance of the light emitting unit. The light-adjusting member is divided into a plurality of parts. The control unit is capable of adjusting an individual transmittance of each of the parts.

Vehicle light-adjusting system

A vehicle light-adjusting window and a vehicle light-adjusting window system capable of clearly projecting a video are provided. A vehicle light-adjusting window includes a transparent plate, a first conductive film, a light-adjusting layer, a second conductive film, and a projection film, which are arranged in this order.

A vehicle light-adjusting system includes a light-adjusting member arranged in an incident portion into which an external light enters, a control unit that controls transmittance of the light-adjusting member, and an instruction detecting unit. The light-adjusting member is divided into a plurality of parts. The instruction detecting unit detects an instruction given by the occupant in a non-contact manner to the light-adjusting member by at least one of gesture and words. When the instruction detecting unit detects the instruction designating any one of the parts, the control unit adjusts an individual transmittance of the part corresponding to the instruction detected by the instruction detecting unit.

A vehicle advertisement display system to be mounted on a vehicle includes a display unit, a detection unit, and a control unit. The display unit performs display at least toward an interior of the vehicle. The detection unit detects at least one of a state of an occupant riding the vehicle or a motion of the occupant as a target. The control unit causes the display unit to display the advertisement image having an advertising content corresponding to the target detected by the detection unit based on correspondence information that defines the advertising content corresponding to each candidate of the target.
