A vehicular display device includes at least one display panel arranged on a vehicle body of a vehicle and configured to display an image, and a display control unit configured to control display of the image. The display panel includes a movable portion provided on the vehicle body, and the display control unit includes an image control unit configured to control a display form of an image when the movable portion is operated.

Vehicular display device

A vehicle lamp includes: a planar light emitting body including a transparent base body, a light emitting portion disposed inside the base body, and an extraction electrode formed on the base body and configured to supply a current to the light emitting portion; and a flexible printed wiring board including a transparent wiring base, a connection electrode formed on the wiring base and connected to the extraction electrode, and a conductive portion connected to the connection electrode. The extraction electrode and the connection electrode are constituted by a plurality of metal wires respectively arranged at a predetermined interval.

Vehicle lamp

A vehicular display device includes: a reflective display configured to provide display toward an outside of a vehicle; and a light emission member arranged to face a display part of the reflective display. The light emission member is configured to allow light to be incident from a display part side and light to be incident from an opposite side to the display part side to pass through the light emission member, and is configured to emit light toward the display part, which is different from the light to be incident from the display part side and the light to be incident from the opposite side to the display part side.

Provided is a display system for a vehicle. The display system includes a display device installed to be visually recognizable from the outside of a vehicle, and a control device configured to cause the display device to display state information of the vehicle. The control device receives a signal from a sensor that senses a distance from the vehicle to an object around the vehicle, and the control device changes display of the display device based on the distance.

Display system for vehicle

The present disclosure relates to a light emitting device using an organic EL. The light emitting device includes an organic EL panel where a plurality of light emitting parts is arranged toward a predetermined direction. The plurality of light emitting parts is configured such that brightness is decreased gradually toward the predetermined direction.

Light emitting device having a plurality of light emitting parts with brightnesses decreased in a direction

A vehicle lamp includes a planar light-emitting structure having a substrate on which an organic EL emission element is provided, a framing member that fixes the planar light-emitting structure inside a vehicle-lamp light cabinet, and an elastic member that is interposed between the planar light-emitting structure and the framing member and that fixes the planar light-emitting structure by its biasing force.

Provided is a light emitting device disposed along a transparent member. The light emitting device includes: an organic electroluminescence panel having a translucent substrate disposed to face the transparent member, a translucent anode disposed on the substrate, an organic material layer disposed on the anode, and a non-translucent cathode disposed on the organic material layer. The organic material layer and the cathode are formed in a form of stripes. The cathode is formed wider than the organic material layer.

Light emitting device

The present disclosure provides a vehicular lamp including an organic EL element that has only a non-light emitting point with a size of 120 &#x3bc;m or less on a light emitting surface.

Vehicular lamp, inspection method of organic EL element

Provided is a vehicle lamp including: an organic EL element; and a lighting circuit that applies a voltage to the organic EL device with a rise time of the voltage of 5 milliseconds or less.

Vehicle lamp and method for inspecting organic EL element

A vehicular lamp includes a lamp body, a translucent outer cover, and a planar light source including a substrate and an organic EL light emitting layer formed on one side surface of the substrate. The planar light source has a bent portion in which the substrate having flexibility is bent at a predetermined position in a portion formed with the organic EL light emitting layer such that one end portion of the substrate is directed to one of a side of the outer cover and a side opposite to the outer cover, or the planar light source is provided such that at least part of an outer peripheral end of the organic EL light emitting layer emits light.

Vehicular lamp

A lamp unit has an organic EL panel in which an organic EL light emission portion is formed on a substrate, the organic EL panel being flexible, and a frame that fixes the light emission device so as to cover a light emission area of the organic EL, panel. The frame has a window or a transparent portion at least in a part of a portion, overlapping the light emission area, of the frame. The frame is formed with recess portions at both ends thereof to house both end portions of the organic EL panel.

Light emission device and lamp unit

A light emission device includes an organic EL panel and a molding resin. In the organic EL panel, an organic EL light emission portion is formed on a substrate. The organic EL panel is flexible. The molding resin shapes the organic EL panel so that the organic EL panel is in a curved state.

Provided is a vehicle lamp that includes a first light emission unit and a second light emission unit including an organic EL element as a light source. The second light emission unit is turned on at a tail lamp on time. Both the first light emission unit and the second light emission unit are turned on at a stop lamp on time. The vehicle lamp further includes a light reduction unit configured to make light intensity of the second light emission unit at the stop lamp on time become lower than that at the tail lamp on time.

A discharge lamp bulb includes an arc tube having: a pair of electrodes that are opposed to each other inside a luminous tube; an outer tube having the luminous tube therein; a pair of lead wires connected to the electrodes; and a metal band mounted on an outer periphery of the outer tube, a support plug having: a plug body having a hollow, inner cylindrical section therein that opens at a front end; an arc-tube support portion mounted on a front-end edge of the inner cylindrical section; and a flange, and a lead support wire extending outside the outer tube in the longitudinal direction and connecting one of the lead wires with the support plug, wherein a front-end face of the inner cylindrical section is substantially flush with a front-end face of the flange or positioned on a back-end side with respect to the front-end face of the flange.
