This display system which is provided in a vehicle comprises: a road surface drawing device that is configured so as to emit a light pattern (L) toward a road surface outside the vehicle; an HUD that is located inside the vehicle and configured so as to display HUD information to an occupant of the vehicle such that the HUD information is overlaid on real space outside the vehicle; and a display control unit that is configured so as to control the road surface drawing device. The display control unit is configured so as to control the emission of the light pattern (L) in accordance with an input operation by the occupant in an HUD display area (D) where the HUD information can be displayed.

Vehicle display system, vehicle system, and vehicle

A vehicle display system is provided in a vehicle and includes: a first display device configured to project a light pattern onto a road surface outside the vehicle; a second display device inside the vehicle configured to display a predetermined image to an occupant of the vehicle such that the predetermined image is superimposed on a real space outside the vehicle; and a controller configured to control the first display device and the second display device. In a case where both the predetermined image and the light pattern are displayed, the controller causes a distance from the occupant to the predetermined image to match a distance from the occupant to the light pattern.

Vehicle display system and vehicle

A vehicle display system, which is provided in a vehicle, includes a first display device configured to emit a light pattern toward a road surface outside the vehicle; and a second display device located inside the vehicle and configured to display predetermined information toward an occupant of the vehicle such that the predetermined information is superimposed on a real space outside the vehicle.

A vehicle lamp includes a light source, a lighting control unit configured to control an emission timing of light emitted from the light source, and a rotary scanning unit configured to repeatedly perform scanning with the light emitted from the light source while rotating. The vehicle lamp illuminates a predetermined region with scan light. The rotary scanning unit performs plural repetitive scans in one rotation. The lighting control unit detects a rotation cycle of the rotary scanning unit, and controls the emission timing of the light source at a timing obtained by equally dividing the detected rotation cycle.

Vehicular lamp and vehicular lamp control method

A vehicle display system provided to a vehicle, includes a first display device, a second display device, and a display control unit. The first display device is configured to emit a light pattern toward a road surface outside the vehicle. The second display device is located inside the vehicle and configured to display predetermined information toward a passenger in the vehicle so that the predetermined information is superimposed on a real space outside the vehicle. The display control unit is configured to control the first display device. The display control unit is configured to control emission of the light pattern according to a passenger's input operation on a display area where the predetermined information can be displayed.

A vehicle lighting system provided in a vehicle includes: a lighting unit configured to emit light toward outside of a vehicle; and a lighting control unit configured to control the lighting unit such that the lighting unit visually presents, to an oncoming vehicle present ahead of the vehicle, predetermined information on traveling support of the oncoming vehicle, based on a vehicle width of the oncoming vehicle and a road width in a lateral region of the vehicle.

Vehicle lighting system, vehicle, inter-vehicle communication system and vehicle system

A display system is provided in a vehicle and includes: an HUD positioned inside the vehicle and configured so as to display, on the vehicle window, a surrounding environment video indicating the environment surrounding the vehicle; and a display control unit controlling the HUD such that the surrounding environment video is displayed on the window in accordance with prescribed conditions associated to the vehicle or the environment surrounding the vehicle and configured so as to reduce the transmittance of the window.

A vehicle display system is provided in a vehicle. The vehicle display system includes a first display device and a second display device. The first display device is configured to emit a light pattern toward a road surface outside the vehicle. The second display device is located inside the vehicle and is configured to display an image indicating the light pattern as viewed from above.

A translucent cover () defines a lamp chamber () together with a housing () while forming a portion of an outer face of a vehicle. A LiDAR sensor () is disposed in the lamp chamber () to detect external information of the vehicle. A half mirror () is disposed in the lamp chamber () so as to cover the LiDAR sensor () from a side where the translucent cover () is disposed. The translucent cover () has a first transparency to visible light. The half mirror () has a second transparency to the visible light that is lower than the first transparency.

Lamp device, sensor system, and sensor device

A vehicle illumination device which is provided in a vehicle capable of travelling in an automatic driving mode includes an illumination unit configured to display stop warning information forewarning stop of the vehicle toward a front of the vehicle, and an illumination controller configured to control the illumination unit such that the stop warning information is displayed toward the front of the vehicle.

Vehicular illumination device, vehicle system, and vehicle

A vehicle lamp and a lighting control method thereof which prevent senses of incongruity and discomfort when a light scanning type lamp is turned on. The vehicle lamp includes a first lamp (a low beam lamp unit)configured to illuminate a required area when turned on, a second lamp (a high beam lamp unit)configured to illuminate an area different from the required area when turned on, and a lighting control deviceconfigured to control lighting of the first lamp and the second lamp. The second lamp is configured as a light scanning type lamp including a light sourceand a scanning means(a motor, a rotating mirror) configured to scan light emitted from the light source. The lighting control device drives the scanning means of the second lamp when the first lamp is turned on.

Vehicle lamp and lighting control method thereof

A vehicular illumination device provided to a vehicle capable of travelling in an automatic driving mode includes an illumination unit configured to display advance-notice information for giving advance-notice of automatic traveling control of the vehicle so that a passenger in the vehicle can visually recognize the advance-notice information, and an illumination controller configured to control the illumination unit so that the passenger in the vehicle can visually recognize the advance-notice information before the automatic traveling control of the vehicle is executed.

Vehicular illumination device, vehicle system and vehicle

A motor includes a shaft member in which at least a part of an outer peripheral surface is made of metal, a magnet unit which is configured by integrating a plurality of magnets and in which a press-fit hole into which the shaft member is press-fitted is formed, a substrate which is disposed at a predetermined distance from the magnet unit in an extending direction of the shaft member and to which electric power is supplied, and a protective member in which a through-hole into which the shaft member is inserted is formed and which is disposed between the magnet unit and the substrate in the extending direction of the shaft member. In the motor, the protective member is in contact with at least a part of the outer peripheral surface of the shaft member.

Motor and lamp using the same

There is provided a vehicle display system to be used with a vehicle control unit which is configured to control a vehicle in an automated driving mode. The vehicle display system includes a display unit which is provided around or inside a license plate of the vehicle, and a display control unit which is configured to turn on the display unit while the vehicle control unit executes the automated driving mode.

Vehicle display system
