Abstract

Provided is an image display device including: a display unit configured to display an image on a side window of a vehicle; and a control unit configured to control an opening and closing motion of the side window, according to a display state of the display unit.

1 . A display control apparatus, comprising:
 circuitry configured to:
 receive an image captured by at least one camera mounted on a vehicle; and 
 display a combined image including a first region, a second region, and 
   a boundary line between the first region and the second region,   wherein the combined image is generated based on the image,   wherein each of the first region and the second region includes at least one of a front sideward sight of the vehicle, a rear sideward sight of the vehicle, or a side sight of the vehicle, and   wherein the boundary line has a view angle of 0.028 degrees or more.   
     
     
         2 . The display control apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the combined image further includes a third region. 
     
     
         3 . The display control apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the first region includes the front sideward sight, the second region includes the rear sideward sight, and the third region includes the side sight. 
     
     
         4 . The display control apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the first region is located above the second region. 
     
     
         5 . The display control apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the third region is located on a side of the first and second regions. 
     
     
         6 . The display control apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to control at least one of:
 brightness of the combined image,   contrast of the combined image, or   a display configuration of a plurality of images captured by a plurality of cameras mounted on the vehicle, on the basis of a detection result of a sensor.   
     
     
         7 . The display control apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to set the brightness or the contrast of the combined image higher than a usual set value, in response to the sensor detecting a head motion or a sight line movement of a driver of the vehicle. 
     
     
         8 . The display control apparatus according to  claim 7 , wherein the circuitry is further configured such that, when the sensor does not detect a head motion or a sight line movement of a driver of the vehicle for a certain period, the circuitry sets the brightness or the contrast of the combined image lower than a usual set value. 
     
     
         9 . An image display method comprising:
 receiving an image captured by at least one camera mounted on a vehicle; and   displaying a combined image including a first region, a second region, and a boundary line between the first region and the second region,   wherein the combined image is generated based on the image,   wherein each of the first region and the second region includes at least one of a front sideward sight of the vehicle, a rear sideward sight of the vehicle, or a side sight of the vehicle, and   wherein the boundary line has a view angle of 0.028 degrees or more.   
     
     
         10 . The image display method according to  claim 9 , wherein the combined image further includes a third region. 
     
     
         11 . The image display method according to  claim 9 , wherein the first region includes the front sideward sight, the second region includes the rear sideward sight, and the third region includes the side sight. 
     
     
         12 . The image display method according to  claim 9 , wherein the first region is located above the second region. 
     
     
         13 . The image display method according to  claim 9 , wherein the third region is located on a side of the first and second regions. 
     
     
         14 . The image display method according to  claim 9 , further comprising:
 controlling at least one of:
 brightness of the combined image, 
 contrast of the combined image, or 
 a display configuration of a plurality of images captured by a plurality of cameras mounted on the vehicle, on the basis of a detection result of a sensor. 
   
     
     
         15 . The image display method according to  claim 14 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to set the brightness or the contrast of the combined image higher than a usual set value, in response to the sensor detecting a head motion or a sight line movement of a driver of the vehicle. 
     
     
         16 . The image display method according to  claim 15 , wherein the circuitry is further configured such that, when the sensor does not detect a head motion or a sight line movement of a driver of the vehicle for a certain period, the circuitry sets the brightness or the contrast of the combined image lower than a usual set value. 
     
     
         17 . A computer-readable medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by a controller, cause the controller to perform a method comprising:
 receiving an image captured by at least one camera mounted on a vehicle; and   displaying a combined image including a first region, a second region, and a boundary line between the first region and the second region,   wherein the combined image is generated based on the image,   wherein each of the first region and the second region includes at least one of a front sideward sight of the vehicle, a rear sideward sight of the vehicle, or a side sight of the vehicle, and   wherein the boundary line has a view angle of 0.028 degrees or more.
