Abstract

A display system includes a display surface and a display mirror. The display surface is configured to display image P 1 based on a captured image. The display mirror is configured to reflect, as reflection image P 2 , only a partial area in the image displayed on the display surface. The display system is configured so that a position of reflection image P 2 changes as a point of view of a subject viewing the display mirror moves.

Claims (26)

1. A display system provided inside a vehicle, the display system comprising:

a display surface configured to display an image output from a camera and based on a captured rear view image from the vehicle;

a display mirror configured to reflect the image displayed on the display surface,

a display element disposed on an optical path between the display surface and the display mirror,

the display element comprising a pattern fixed thereto, of at least a part of a structure of the vehicle present behind a driver, such that the display element displays a pattern image of the pattern overlapping the image.

2. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein

the display element further comprises a transparent block; and

the pattern is formed inside the transparent block.

3. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein the display element is a transparent display.

4. The display system according to claim 1 , further comprising a Depth-Fused 3-D (DFD) display including two image display panels,

among the two image display panels, a screen of one of the image display panels serves as the display surface, and another one of the image display panels serves as the display element, the one of the image display panels being distal from the display mirror, and the other one of the image display panels being proximal to the display mirror.

5. An electronic mirror system comprising:

the display system according to claim 1 ; and

a camera configured to output the captured image to the display system.

6. A vehicle comprising:

the electronic mirror system according to claim 5 ; and

a main body mounted with the electronic mirror system.

7. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein the display element includes:

a transparent plate having a first surface and a second surface facing each other in a thickness direction, wherein

the pattern is formed on one of the first surface and the second surface.

8. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein the display element includes:

a transparent plate having a first surface and a second surface facing each other in a thickness direction, wherein the pattern comprises:

a first pattern element formed on the first surface of the transparent plate, the first pattern element having a shape identical to a shape of the pattern, the first pattern element based on which the pattern image is generated; and

a second pattern element formed on the second surface of the transparent plate, the second pattern element having a shape identical to a shape of the pattern, the second pattern based on which the pattern image is generated,

wherein brightness distribution in the first pattern element and brightness distribution in the second pattern element differ from each other.

9. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein the pattern is partially transparent.
