Abstract

The present invention comprises: a display device (10); a reflection member (40) that reflects, in a casing (61), a display light from the display device and projects the display light onto a part (Rwf) to be projected; and a control unit (50) that performs control of the display light according to an eye point (EP) or an eye box (EB). The display device comprises: a backlight unit (20) that disperses and distributes, from an irradiation surface (20a), light from a light source (21); and a light-transmissive, plate-shaped display unit (30) that transmits irradiated light from the irradiation surface entering a surface (30a) to be irradiated, and causes same to be emitted from an emission surface (30b) as display light. The display unit is inclined with respect to the irradiation surface between the irradiation surface and the reflection member so that an interval between second ends of the irradiation surface and the surface to be irradiated, which create an upper end of a virtual image, is wider than an interval between first ends, which create a lower end of the virtual image. The control unit sets the illuminance of the irradiation light from the irradiation surface which is caused to enter the surface to be irradiated to be higher at the second ends than the first ends, so as to decrease luminance unevenness of the display light emitted from the emission surface of the display unit.

Abstract

A vehicle display device that can easily determine the driver's state of wearing polarized sunglasses is provided. A vehicle display device includes a polarizer that is disposed in front of a lens of a camera that continuously acquires face images of a driver P so that a polarization direction becomes a horizontal direction that is orthogonal to a vertical direction. In the vehicle display device, a control unit calculates a luminance value corresponding to each face image, and causes a storage unit to store the calculated luminance values therein as the luminance value information in association with a time series. The control unit then compares the current luminance value information with the past luminance value information in a plurality of pieces of luminance value information stored in the storage unit and when the current luminance value information decreases, determines that the driver puts on the polarized sunglasses.

Abstract

A connector mating structure includes a male connector and a female connector mated with each other. The female connector includes a mating securing member. In a state where the male connector and the female connector of the connector mating structure are in a mating state and the mating securing member is positioned in a mating securing position, a forward end of a female locking section is positioned between an upper locking protrusion and a protrusion of an upper locking section. In this manner, assembling instability between a male housing, a female housing and the mating securing member in a forward-rearward direction is suppressed. Furthermore, a short circuit spring is in elastic contact with a short circuit release section and thus presses the female housing upward. In this manner, assembling instability between the male housing, the female housing and the mating securing member in an upward-downward direction is suppressed.

Abstract

A power supply control system (1) comprises a first power supply (10), a second power supply (20), a first switch (110), a second switch (120), a first voltage detection unit (141), a second voltage detection unit (142), and a control unit (150). The first power supply (10) supplies electric power to a first load and a second load. The second power supply (20) supplies electric power to the second load when an anomaly has occurred. The control unit (150) detects the presence/absence of an anomaly on the basis of a voltage that has been detected by the first voltage detection unit (141) and/or the second voltage detection unit (142). In a normal state, the control unit (150) turns on the first switch (110) and turns off the second switch (120) When the control unit (150) has detected an anomaly, the control unit (150) turns off the first switch (110) and turns on the second switch (120).
