Abstract
A vehicle imaging device comprises: a cover that forms the exterior of a dashboard of a vehicle; a picture generation unit (PGU) disposed within the dashboard and forming light on one side; a screen panel disposed between the PGU and the cover and configured to reflect light formed by the PGU so as to allow an image to pass through the cover via the reflected light; and a mirror disposed on one side of the PGU and reflecting the light formed on the one side and transmitting same to the screen panel, wherein the image formed by light reflected from the screen panel may be displayed in a specific area of a windshield of a driver's seat of the vehicle with a width in one axial direction greater than a length in the other axial direction.
Claims20
A vehicle imaging device comprising:
- a cover forming appearance of a dashboard of a vehicle;
- a picture generation unit (PGU) arranged inside the dashboard and configured to generate light to one side;
- a screen panel arranged between the PGU and the cover, and configured to reflect the light generated by the PGU so that an image by the reflected light passes through the cover;
- and
- a mirror arranged on one side of the PGU, and configured to reflect the light generated to the one side so that the reflected light is transmitted to the screen panel,
- wherein the image by the light reflected from the screen panel is displayed in a specific region of a windshield of a driver's seat of the vehicle, so that a width of the image in one axial direction is greater than a length in another axial direction.
A projector comprising:
- a picture generation unit (PGU) arranged inside the projector and configured to generate light to one side;
- and
- a processor operatively coupled to the PGU and configured to control the PGU such that a first data set and a second data set are arranged alternately,
- wherein the processor controls the first data set and the second data set to be alternately arranged in one axial direction by inserting second data of the second data set between adjacent data constituting the first data set, and
- controls an image, implemented by the first data set and the second data set arranged alternately, to be displayed in a specific region.
