Abstract:
A dual view display system that displays two different images in different directions using a single display device to alternately time-multiplex the images and two shutter devices operated in coordination with the time-multiplexing to alternately allow or block viewing of the alternating images.
Abstract:
A dual view display system (10) that displays two different images in different directions (16) using a single display device (40). The dual view display (11) includes a first optical element (46) overlaying a first portion of the pixels (42) and configured to direct light emitted from the first portion of the pixels (42) toward a first direction (16), a second optical element (48) overlaying a second portion of the pixels (42) and configured to direct light emitted from the second portion of the pixels (42) toward a second direction (20) distinct from the first direction (16), and an optical barrier (50) arranged between the first optical element (46) and the second optical element (48) effective to prevent light from propagating therebetween.
Abstract:
A display system (10) for displaying a seamless mosaic of a plurality of images projected by a plurality of projectors (12) by aligning the images projected so the mosaic appears seamless. The display system (10) includes a display (16) defining a display surface (14), a first projector (12A), and a second projector (12B) configured to project onto distinct areas that partially overlap. A light detector (30) located adjacent to the display surface (14) detects light projected onto the overlap area. Image signals received by the projectors (12) are adjusted to eliminate the overlap and or balance the brightness of each projected image so the composite image appears to be a seamless mosaic.
Abstract:
A system and method to display a plurality of different images at multiple distinct locations using a single image projector and an image propagation control means to control a propagation pathway from the projector to a display at each location.
Abstract:
A vehicle occupant (22) is illuminated with infrared light by an apparatus including a display apparatus (20/20') illuminated with visible light for displaying information to the occupant (22) and an infrared illuminator (28) hidden behind the display apparatus (20/20') for illuminating the occupant (22) through the display apparatus (20/20'). In a preferred embodiment, the display apparatus (20/20') is a liquid crystal display (LCD) (32) mounted in the vehicle instrument panel (14) for displaying images and data to the driver (22), and infrared light emitted by the infrared illuminator (28) is transmitted through the LCD (32) to illuminate the occupant (22).

Abstract:
A projection display apparatus (36) that presents a high-mount image (46) to the driver (24) of a vehicle includes an LCD or OLED display device (38) and a set of projection mirrors (40, 42) embedded in an instrument panel (18) forward of the driver (24). The display (38) includes a first display portion (38a, 50) facing away from the driver (24), on which a first image (46) for high-mount presentation is formed. The projection mirrors (40, 42) project the first image (46) back into the driver compartment (10) for presentation to the driver (24) in a high-mount location (30). Preferably, the display (38) further includes a second display portion (38b, 56) facing toward the driver (24), on which a second image (48) for cluster presentation is formed. In the preferred arrangement, the driver (24) directly views the second image (48) in a cluster location (34) disposed below the high mount location (30).
Abstract:
A vehicle parking locator system (20) and method are provided. The system (20) includes a database (36) storing data pertaining to the vehicle parking locations (16) including available parking locations, and a communication link (56) for communicating with vehicles (10) and other sources. The communication link (56) receives parking location information including information pertaining to availability of parking locations and further provides vehicles with parking location information to assist in locating a parking location. The system (20) further includes a processor (32) for processing the stored data in the database (36) and providing parking location information to vehicles.
