Abstract
An image display device includes an illuminator and a detector. The illuminator is configured to send out light on a road surface around a first vehicle as an own vehicle, to display a first notification image that notifies information to surroundings of the first vehicle. The detector is configured to detect an image displayed on the road surface or information indicated by the image. The illuminator is configured to display the first notification image on the basis of the image detected by the detector or the information indicated by the image.
Claims16
An image display device, comprising:
- a first detector configured to detect a target around a first vehicle;
- an illuminator configured to send out visible light on a road surface around the first vehicle as an own vehicle, to display a first notification image that notifies first information to the target;
- a second detector configured to detect, on the road surface, a second notification image displayed by a second vehicle, the second notification image notifying second information to the target;
- a decision unit decides a display mode of the first notification image based on the first information of the first notification image and the second information of the second notification image;
- and
- a display control unit configured to control the illuminator in accordance with the display mode decided by the decision unit, wherein
- when the first information of the first notification image is identical to the second information of the second notification image, the decision unit decides the display mode of the first notification image to be a first display mode, and the display control unit controls the illuminator to display the first notification image according to the first display mode so that the first notification image overlaps the second notification image on the road surface.
An image display device, comprising:
- a first detector configured to detect a target around a first vehicle;
- an illuminator configured to send out visible light on a road surface around the first vehicle as an own vehicle, to display a first notification image that notifies first information to the target;
- a second detector configured to detect, on the road surface, a second notification image displayed by a second vehicle, the second notification image notifying second information to the target;
- and
- circuitry configured to control the illuminator to display the first notification image so that the first notification image overlaps the second notification image on the road surface when 1) a priority level of the first information of the first notification image is equal to a priority level of the second information of the second notification image and 2) the first information of the first notification image is identical to the second information of the second notification image.
