Image display device
First Claim
1. An image display device, comprising:
- a light illuminator configured to send out visible light frontward of a first vehicle as an own vehicle, to display an image for a pedestrian attempting to cross a road;
a crossing-facility detector configured to detect a position of a crossing facility provided on the road, the crossing facility allowing the pedestrian to cross the road;
an image position determiner configured to determine, based on the position of the crossing facility, whether a display position of the image is within a no-crossing region, the no-crossing region extending for a first distance from the crossing facility; and
an illumination controller configured to control the light illuminator to display a first image based on determining that the display position of the image is within the no-crossing region, the first image prompting the pedestrian to use the crossing facility to cross the road.

Abstract
An image display device includes a light illuminator, a crossing-facility detector, an image position determiner, and an illumination controller. The light illuminator is configured to send out light frontward of a first vehicle as an own vehicle, to display an image for a pedestrian. The crossing-facility detector is configured to detect a crossing facility provided on the road. The image position determiner is configured to determine, on the basis of a position of the crossing facility, whether or not a display position of the image is included in a no-crossing region near the crossing facility. The illumination controller is configured to control display operation of the light illuminator, to prompt the pedestrian to cross along the crossing facility, on the condition that the image position determiner determines that the display position of the image is included in the no-crossing region.

17. An image display device, comprising:
-
a light illuminator configured to send out visible light frontward of a first vehicle as an own vehicle, to display an image for a pedestrian attempting to cross a road; a crossing-facility detector configured to detect a position of a crossing facility provided on the road, the crossing facility allowing the pedestrian to cross the road; and circuitry configured to determine a display position of the image is within in a no-crossing region extending for a first distance from the crossing facility, and control, in response determining that the display position of the image is within the no-crossing region, the light illuminator to display the image prompting the pedestrian to use the crossing facility to cross the road and guiding the pedestrian to the crossing facility.
