embodiment 1

[0038]The following will describe an embodiment of the present invention.

[0039]In the present embodiment, the onboard display device in accordance with the present invention is used as a display device which is part of an instrument panel on an automobile.

[0040]The onboard display system in accordance with the present embodiment contains an onboard display device 1 as shown in FIG. 2. The onboard display device 1 is mounted to an onboard instrument panel. The device 1 displays at least the speed of the vehicle. The device 1 may also display information on other conditions of the automobile. The device 1 includes a display section 11 and a display control section 12. The display section 11 includes a liquid crystal display panel for the display of secondary images. The display control section 12 controls the display on the display section 11. The display section 11 will be described later in detail. The secondary images include, for example, navigation images, television images, came...

embodiment 2

[0112]The following will describe another embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the onboard display device in accordance with the present invention is used as an onboard instrument panel as in embodiment 1.

[0113]The onboard display device in accordance with the present embodiment contains a display section 101 as shown in FIG. 11. The section 101 is capable of wide displays similarly to the display section 11 of embodiment 1 shown in FIG. 1. Unlike the display section 11 shown in FIG. 1, the display section 101 displays both secondary images and vehicle condition images at an identical aspect ratio of 4:3. The secondary images, not related to the speed and other conditions of the vehicle, are produced in a first display area 102. The vehicle condition images show the speed and other conditions of the vehicle and are produced in a second display area 103. The display section 101 has an aspect ratio of 8:3 accordingly.

[0114]The first display area 102 displays...

Abstract

An onboard display device in accordance with the present invention includes a display section (11) attached to an instrument panel of a vehicle. The section (11) has a second display area (11b) and a first display area (11a). The second display area (11b) shows at least the speed as vehicle condition images indicating the conditions of the vehicle. The first display area (11a) shows a navigation image and other secondary images. The display section (11) measures greater in width than in height with an aspect ratio of 7:3 or greater. The aspect ratio is the width/height ratio of a display area. The onboard display device allows for a visibility-improved simultaneous display of the secondary image, such as a navigation image, and the vehicle condition image, such as a speed display, which presents information on the conditions of the vehicle.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to onboard display devices and systems for displaying the traveling speed, engine speed, and other conditions of the vehicle. The present invention also relates to vehicles in which the onboard display system is installed.BACKGROUND ART[0002]New automobile instrument panels, or onboard display devices, have been suggested. They display driver-supporting information, such as navigation images (“secondary images”), as well as the traveling speed, engine speed, and other information on the conditions of the vehicle. See Japanese published patent application 6-195056 / 1994 (Tokukaihei 6-195056; published on Jul. 15, 1994) and Japanese published patent application 9-123848 / 1997 (Tokukaihei 9-123848; published on May 13, 1997).[0003]For example, Tokukaihei 6-195056 provides a wide display screen to improve on visibility, road safety, and ease in operation. Monitor images around the vehicle are displayed on the wide screen along with travel...
