Abstract

A HUD includes an image generation unit and a controller. The image generation unit emits first light for generating a first virtual image object to be displayed at a position apart from a vehicle by a first distance, and second light for generating a second virtual image object to be displayed at a position apart from the vehicle by a second distance longer than the first distance. The controller controls the image generation unit. The controller causes information being displayed on at least one of the first virtual image object and the second virtual image object to be displayed on the other of the first virtual image object and the second virtual image object, based on information related to traveling of the vehicle and an instruction from an occupant of the vehicle.

Claims6

Dependent claims

An image irradiation device for a vehicle configured to be able to display images at positions apart from the vehicle by different distances, respectively, the image irradiation device comprising:

an image generation unit configured to emit first light for generating a first image to be displayed at a position apart from the vehicle by a first distance, and second light for generating a second image to be displayed at a position apart from the vehicle by a second distance longer than the first distance, and
a controller configured to control the image generation unit,
wherein the controller is configured to cause information being displayed on at least one of the first image and the second image to be displayed on the other of the first image and the second image, based on at least one of information related to traveling of the vehicle and an instruction input by an occupant of the vehicle.
