Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a virtual image display device, a head-up display system and a vehicle which further improve convenience. The virtual image display device according to the present disclosure includes: a display device which outputs a parallax image forming a left eye virtual image and a right eye virtual image, the parallax image having a plurality of regions whose parallax amounts of the left eye virtual image and the right eye virtual image are different; an optical system which displays a virtual image based on the parallax image; and a controller which changes a partition of the plurality of regions of the parallax image according to a situation.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A virtual image display device comprising: a display device which outputs a parallax image forming a left eye virtual image and a right eye virtual image, the parallax image having a plurality of regions whose parallax amounts of the left eye virtual image and the right eye virtual image are different; an optical system which displays a virtual image based on the parallax image; and a controller which changes a partition of the plurality of regions of the parallax image depending on a situation. 2 . The virtual image display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a detector which detects a front object, wherein the controller changes the partition of the plurality of regions depending on a distance to the front object. 3 . The virtual image display device according to claim 2 , wherein the parallax image is information related to the distance. 4 . The virtual image display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a detector which detects a front object, wherein the controller changes the partition of the plurality of regions depending on a size of the front object. 5 . A head-up display system comprising the virtual display device according to claim 1 . 6 . A vehicle comprising the head-up display system according to claim 5 , the head-up display system being mounted on the vehicle.
