A display device (1) for a vehicle displays information on the second layer of a first display screen (20, 21, 23) by means of characters (30, 33) or an icon (28, 32), displays on the second layer of a second display screen (13a) an icon (31) corresponding to the information displayed on the second layer of the first display screen (20, 21, 23), and displays a predetermined image displayed on the first layer of the first display screen (20, 21, 23) and the predetermined image displayed on the first layer of the second display screen (13a) such that both the predetermined images differ from each other when the display state is changed, and thereafter gradually changes the image displayed on the first layer of the first display screen (20, 21, 23) such that part or all of the predetermined image displayed on the first layer of the first display screen (20, 21, 23); becomes the same as the predetermined image displayed on the first layer of the second display screen (13a).

An operator configurable vehicle instrument panel with the ability to provide both analog and digital style outputs, and more particularly to an instrument panel configured to provide a digital style display in a first state and an analog state display in a second state using a physical pointer that was not visible in the first state.

A fuel economy improvement assist device (1) has: accelerator operation amount detection means (12); and display control means (15a) for displaying, on a display device (20), a target value corresponding to a target accelerator operation amount and a deviation value of the detected accelerator operation amount from the target accelerator operation amount (14a). The display control means (15a) calculates an accelerator depression speed based on the detected accelerator operation amount, and variably displays the deviation value in accordance with the calculated accelerator depression speed.

A center panel is closer to a viewer in the viewing direction than a speedometer A is and overlapped with the speedometer. The center panel includes an attachment portion extending from a rear side of the center panel towards a dial plate of the speedometer. The center panel is fixed to a printed circuit board of the speedometer via the attachment portion. Accordingly, when a combination meter is viewed, the attachment portion is concealed rearward of the center panel to be invisible. The center panel looks floating separately from the speedometer towards a viewer, which provides a combination meter having excellent visibility and aesthetic cosmetic appearance. Thus, a vehicular display device having excellent visibility and aesthetic cosmetic appearance can be provided by improving a method for supporting a displaying unit on a pointer instrument.

A display device includes: a display element for showing information as a screen image; and an ornamental member disposed on a display surface of the display element and having a shape corresponding to the screen image. The ornamental member includes a light transparent element and a light nontransparent element. The screen image includes a designed image on a position of the display surface corresponding to the light transparent element. The display element outputs a screen image light from the display surface. The screen image light corresponding to the designed image passes through the light transparent element so that the screen image light is outputted from the ornamental member to the display side.

A motor vehicle instrument cluster comprising an analog indicator assembly having a pointer rotatably coupled to an actuator for a movement by the actuator, and a display assembly including a display screen for displaying information to an occupant of the motor vehicle and a printed circuit board electrically connected to the indicator assembly and the display assembly. In addition, the printed circuit board is electrically connected to an electrical ground and a metal support frame is mounted to the printed circuit board and coupled thereby to the electrical ground. The metal frame includes a support tray spaced apart from the printed circuit board, defining a gap in between. Finally, the display assembly is mounted in thermal communication to the support tray and the frame and the printed circuit board cooperate to define a static discharge path between the display assembly and the electrical ground.

An operator configurable vehicle instrument panel with the ability to provide both analog and digital style outputs, and more particularly to an instrument panel configured to provide a digital style display in a first state and an analog state display in a second state using a physical pointer that was not visible in the first state.

A method of providing visual data to a pilot in an aircraft cockpit includes receiving information in the form of a voice signal, converting the information to visual data, and displaying the visual data to the pilot in the aircraft cockpit.

A vehicular display apparatus of the invention includes a display portion that displays a predetermined graphic in accordance with a present consumption amount of energy used for moving a vehicle. The graphic displayed on the display portion changes at least one of a displayed size and a displayed color thereof in accordance with the consumption amount. The displayed size increases as the consumption amount increases. The displayed color is changed to have a longer wavelength of color as the consumption amount increases.

A gauge of a vehicle instrument cluster includes a gauge defining a dial. A pointer is rotatably mounted in the instrument cluster and movable to a plurality of positions relative to the dial. A first scale of numbers is arranged sequentially around the dial and corresponds to a first range of vehicle speed. A second scale of numbers is arranged sequentially around the dial and corresponds to a second range of vehicle speed. The second scale of numbers corresponds to vehicle speeds that are faster than the first range of vehicle speeds and have like units. The first scale and the second scale of numbers are arranged in a radially offset relationship.

A speed displaying device is provided in a vehicle that travels to reach a set target speed, and displays a speedometer (30) which indicates a speed of the vehicle. The speed displaying device includes the speedmeter (30) having a scale (32) and a controller that controls to display a pointer (36) pointed position which indicates a position of current speed of the vehicle in the scale of the speedometer, a speed setting position (41) which indicates a position of the target speed in the scale of the speedometer, and a speed difference region (45) which indicates the size of the difference between the current speed and the target speed with an area on the speed meter. The speed difference region is displayed at a position near the scale of the speedometer.
