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 display device for a vehicle includes a moving speed calculation unit that calculates a moving speed of a pupil based on a position of the pupil detected by a pupil detection unit. In a case in which the moving speed of the pupil is equal to or lower than a threshold, a pupil diameter calculation unit calculates a pupil diameter at a present time based on the pupil at the present time, and outputs the calculated pupil diameter at the present time to a brightness adjustment unit. On the other hand, in a case in which the moving speed of the pupil exceeds the threshold, the pupil diameter calculation unit outputs a pupil diameter calculated at a previous time to the brightness adjustment unit as the pupil diameter at the present time.

Abstract

A vehicle display device includes a display that is mounted on a vehicle and superimposes and displays an image on a real landscape in front with respect to a front windshield, a controller that controls the display, and a position information acquisition unit that acquires a position of a preceding vehicle. The controller calculates a first virtual straight line that connects the position of the preceding vehicle and a position of the vehicle. When the controller determines that the first virtual straight line is along a straight direction of the vehicle, the controller displays a marker image at a position below the preceding vehicle. When the controller determines that the first virtual straight line is inclined with respect to the straight direction, the controller performs display movement control to display the marker image so as to be shifted from the position below the preceding vehicle.

Abstract

A display device for a vehicle includes: a display, a polarization switching unit, a reflector, and a controller. The polarization switching unit includes a wave plate that can cause emission light of the display to be emitted while changing a polarization direction thereof, and a drive device that uses an electric motor as a driving source and can rotate the wave plate between a position of not using polarizing sunglasses and a position of using polarizing sunglasses. When a command is given to switch a required visual recognition mode to the mode of not using polarizing sunglasses or the mode of using polarizing sunglasses, the controller supplies an exciting current to the electric motor to rotate the wave plate to the rotational position of the required visual recognition mode, and interrupts the exciting current flowing through the electric motor thereafter.
