Display apparatus for vehicle
First Claim
1. A display apparatus adapted to be mounted on a vehicle and configured to display a series of images related to the vehicle in such a manner that a user views a design in the series of images in three dimensions, each of the series of images being formed as a combination of a left image visible by a left eye of the user and a right image visible by a right eye of the user, the display apparatus comprising:
- a display section having a screen and configured to display the left image and the right image on the screen so that the user views the design at a position away from the screen by a predetermined imaginary distance in a direction perpendicular to the screen;
an estimation section configured to estimate whether a movement of a line of sight of the user to the screen from a region outside the screen occurs; and
a controller configured to gradually increase the imaginary distance when the estimation section estimates that the movement occurs, whereinthe display section displays an information image indicative of information related to the vehicle after displaying the series of images, andthe design overlays on the information image in such a manner that the increased imaginary distance is kept.

Abstract
A vehicle display apparatus includes a display section, an estimation section, and a controller. The display section has a screen and displays an image on the screen so that a user views a design in the image at a position away from the screen by a predetermined distance in a direction perpendicular to the screen. The estimation section estimates whether a movement of a line of sight of the user to the screen from a region outside the screen occurs. The controller gradually increases the distance, when the estimation section estimates that the movement occurs.

6. A display apparatus adapted to be mounted on a vehicle and configured to display a series of images related to the vehicle in such a manner that a user views a design in the series of images in three dimensions, each of the series of images being formed as a combination of a left image visible by a left eye of the user and a right image visible by a right eye of the user, the display apparatus comprising:
-
a display section having a screen and configured to display the series of images on the screen so that the user views the design at a position away from the screen by a predetermined imaginary distance in a direction perpendicular to the screen; an estimation section including a detector which detects a signal indicating that the vehicle will start to run, the estimation section configured to estimate whether a movement of a line of sight of the user to the screen from a region outside the screen occurs after the line of sight of the user is kept at the region outside the screen for a predetermined period of time; and a controller configured to perform a control process for causing the display section to display the series of images in such a manner that the imaginary distance gradually increases, wherein the controller starts to perform the control process when the detector detects the signal and repeats the control process each time the estimation section estimates that the movement occurs. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
