Abstract

The present disclosure provides a display device and a display system. The display device includes a head-up display and a light shielding plate arranged at a light-exiting surface side of the head-up display. The head-up display is configured to display an image, and send information about a shape and a location of the image to the light shielding plate; the light shielding plate is configured to receive the information about the shape and the location of the image, and provide a light transmitting region having a shape and a location identical to those of the image according to the information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display device, comprising:
a head-up display, and
a light shielding plate arranged at a light-exiting surface side of the head-up display; wherein
the head-up display is configured to display an image, and send information about a shape and a location of the image to the light shielding plate;
the light shielding plate is configured to receive the information about the shape and the location of the image, and provide a light transmitting region having a shape and a location identical to those of the image according to the information,
wherein the light shielding plate is configured to change the shape and the location of the light transmitting region in real time based on the shape and the location of the image to be displayed,
wherein the light shielding plate is a liquid crystal display screen.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the light shielding plate is a normally white liquid crystal display screen or a normally black liquid crystal display screen.

3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the normally white liquid crystal display screen is configured to: provide the light transmitting region by not applying a voltage to a region having a shape and a location corresponding to those of the image, and provide a light shielding region by applying a voltage to regions except the light transmitting region.

4. The device according to claim 3 , wherein the normally white liquid crystal display screen is further configured to: apply a voltage to the light transmitting region to lower a transmittance of the light transmitting region at night or in the case that an ambient brightness value is less than or equal to a pre-determined value.

5. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the normally black liquid crystal display screen is configured to: provide the light transmitting region by applying a voltage to a region having a shape and a location corresponding to those of the image, and provide a light shielding region by not applying a voltage to regions except the light transmitting region.

6. The device according to claim 5 , wherein the normally black liquid crystal display screen is further configured to increase the voltage applied to the light transmitting region during the day or in the case that an ambient brightness value is greater than a pre-determined value.

7. The device according to claim 1 , wherein an area of the light shielding plate is greater than or equal to that of a display screen of the head-up display.

8. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the image is of a circular, triangular, rhombic or hexagonal shape.

9. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the light shielding plate is attached tightly to the light-exiting surface side of the head-up display.

10. A display system, comprising the display device according to the claim 1 .

11. The system according to claim 10 , further comprising an optical system arranged on an optical path of the display device and configured to emit light from the light shielding plate to a windshield of a vehicle-mounted device.

12. The system according to claim 10 , wherein the light shielding plate is a normally white liquid crystal display screen or a normally black liquid crystal display screen.

13. The system according to claim 12 , wherein the normally white liquid crystal display screen is configured to provide the light transmitting region by not applying a voltage to a region having a shape and a location corresponding to those of the image, and provide a light shielding region by applying a voltage to regions except the light transmitting region.

14. The system according to claim 13 , wherein the normally white liquid crystal display screen is further configured to apply a voltage to the light transmitting region to lower a transmittance of the light transmitting region at night or in the case that an ambient brightness value is less than or equal to a pre-determined value.

15. The system according to claim 12 , wherein the normally black liquid crystal display screen is configured to provide the light transmitting region by applying a voltage to a region having a shape and a location corresponding to those of the image, and provide a light shielding region by not applying a voltage to regions except the light transmitting region.

16. The system according to claim 15 , wherein the normally black liquid crystal display screen is further configured to: increase the voltage applied to the light transmitting region during the day or in the case that an ambient brightness value is greater than a pre-determined value.

17. The system according to claim 10 , wherein an area of the light shielding plate is greater than or equal to that of a display screen of the head-up display.

18. The system according to claim 10 , wherein the image is of a circular, triangular, rhombic or hexagonal shape.

19. The system according to claim 10 , wherein the light shielding plate is attached tightly to the light-exiting surface side of the head-up display.
