Abstract
One embodiment of an in-vehicle display device includes: a display unit that includes a transparent display part and a low-transmissivity display part, and that changes an area ratio of an area of the low-transmissivity display part to an area of the transparent display part; an image capturing unit that captures a space around the vehicle as an image; and a first display control unit configured to control the display unit such that the area ratio is increased when a predetermined condition is satisfied as compared to when the predetermined condition is not satisfied, and the image captured by the image capturing unit is displayed in the low-transmissivity display part after the area ratio has been increased.

An in-vehicle display device comprising:
- a display unit that includes a transparent display part and a low-transmissivity display part, and that changes an area ratio of an area of the low-transmissivity display part to an area of the transparent display part, the transparent display part being a part through which a light from a real space ahead of a vehicle transmits and in which an image is superimposed on a scene in the real space, the low-transmissivity display part being a part a light transmissivity of which for a light from the real space is lower than a light transmissivity of the transparent display part and in which an image is displayed;
- an image capturing unit that captures a space around the vehicle as an image;
- and
- a first display control unit configured to control the display unit such that the area ratio is increased when a predetermined condition is satisfied as compared to when the predetermined condition is not satisfied, and the image captured by the image capturing unit is displayed in the low-transmissivity display part after the area ratio has been increased.
An in-vehicle display device comprising:
- a display unit that includes a transparent display part and a low-transmissivity display part, and that changes an area ratio of an area of the low-transmissivity display part to an area of the transparent display part, the transparent display part being a part through which a light from a real space ahead of a vehicle transmits and in which an image is superimposed on a scene in the real space, the low-transmissivity display part being a part a light transmissivity of which for a light from the real space is lower than a light transmissivity of the transparent display part and in which an image is displayed;
- a warning determination unit configured to determine whether a warning is to be issued to a driver;
- and
- a second display control unit configured to control the display unit such that the area ratio is increased when the warning determination unit determines that a warning is to be issued to the driver as compared to when the warning determination unit does not determine that a warning is to be issued to the driver, and information indicating the warning to be issued to the driver is displayed as an image in the low-transmissivity display part after the area ratio has been increased.
An in-vehicle display device comprising:
- a display unit that includes a transparent display part and a low-transmissivity display part, and that changes an area ratio of an area of the low-transmissivity display part to an area of the transparent display part, the transparent display part being a part through which a light from a real space ahead of a vehicle transmits and in which an image is superimposed on a scene in the real space, the low-transmissivity display part being a part a light transmissivity of which for a light from the real space is lower than a light transmissivity of the transparent display part and in which an image is displayed;
- a drive assist unit configured to perform drive assist processing that assists a driver in driving the vehicle;
- and
- a third display control unit configured to control the display unit such that the area ratio is increased when the drive assist unit performs the drive assist processing as compared to when the drive assist unit does not perform the drive assist processing, and information other than information indicating a state of the vehicle is displayed as an image in the low-transmissivity display part after the area ratio has been increased.
