Processor 180 may generate vehicle related information. The processor 180 may display vehicle-related information through one area of the transparent flexible display 211. Here, the vehicle-related information may include vehicle control information for direct control of the vehicle or vehicle driving assistance information for a driving guide to the vehicle occupant. The vehicle-related information may be information received through the input unit 120. [ Alternatively, the vehicle-related information may be information received from the vehicle sensor unit 760 via the interface unit 160. [ Alternatively, the vehicle information may be information received from the control unit 770 through the interface unit 160. [ Alternatively, the vehicle information may be information received from the mobile terminal 250 or the server 260 via the communication unit 110. [

In particular, the power supply 190 may contact the transparent flexible display area to supply power.
The display unit 210 displays (outputs) the information processed by the processor 180. For example, the display unit 210 displays execution screen information of an application program driven by the vehicle driving assistant 100, UI (User Interface) and GUI (Graphic User Interface) information corresponding to the execution screen information .
The display unit 210 may include a transparent flexible display (211).
The transparent flexible display 211 may be configured to be deformable by an external force. The deformation may be at least one of warping, bending, folding, twisting, and curling of the transparent flexible display 211.
In a state in which the transparent flexible display 211 is not deformed (for example, a state having an infinite radius of curvature, hereinafter referred to as a first state), the display area of the transparent flexible display 211 becomes flat. In the first state, the display area may be a curved surface in a state deformed by an external force (for example, a state having a finite radius of curvature, hereinafter referred to as a second state). The information displayed in the second state may be time information output on the curved surface. Such visual information is realized by independently controlling the emission of a sub-pixel arranged in a matrix form. The unit pixel means a minimum unit for implementing one color.
The transparent flexible display 211 may be placed in a bent state (e.g., bent up or down or left or right) instead of a flat state in the first state. In this case, when an external force is applied to the transparent flexible display 211, the transparent flexible display 211 can be deformed into a flat state (or less curved state) or more curved state.
Meanwhile, the transparent flexible display 211 may be combined with a touch sensor to implement a flexible touch screen. When a touch is made to the flexible touch screen, the processor 180 may perform control corresponding to the touch input. The flexible touch screen may be configured to sense the touch input in the first state as well as the second state.
Meanwhile, the transparent flexible display 211 may have a predetermined transparency. In order to have such a transparency, the transparent flexible display 211 may be formed of a transparent thin film transistor (TFT), a transparent organic light-emitting diode (OLED), a liquid crystal display (LCD), a transmissive transparent display, And a display. The transparency of the transparent flexible display 211 may be adjusted under the control of the processor 180.
Meanwhile, the transparent flexible display 211 may be provided to be adjustable in length within the vehicle. The transparent flexible display 211 can block light entering the interior of the vehicle and display at least one image.
Meanwhile, the transparent flexible display 211 may include a light blocking area or an image display area. Here, the light blocking area adjusts the transparency of the transparent flexible display 211 to prevent the light incident from the sun from being directly irradiated to the occupant. The size of the area or degree of transparency can be adjusted based on the data sensed by the sun sensor 141 or the light amount sensor 142 in the light shielding area. The video display area displays information processed by the processor 180. [ The image display area may be plural. The processor 180 processes the control command or data transmitted from the communication unit 110, the input unit 120, the interface unit 160, or the memory 170 and displays the processed control command or data on the video display area. For example, the image display area included in the transparent flexible display 211 can display an image obtained by the camera 121. [
Meanwhile, the image display area included in the transparent flexible display 211 can display the state of the guide unit 240 or the driving unit 230. FIG. Here, the state of the guide unit 240 or the driving unit 230 can be displayed numerically or graphically. For example, the image display area can display the degree of pull-in and pull-out of the transparent flexible display 211, the angle formed by the contact portion with the ground, and the like.
On the other hand, the transparent flexible display 211 can move according to the driving force generated by the driving unit 230. The length of the light blocking area or the image display area can be adjusted on the basis of the driving force of the transparent flexible display 211. For example, the transparent flexible display 211 can be moved in the vehicle traveling direction or the vehicle traveling direction in accordance with the driving force generated in the driving unit 230.
On the other hand, the transparent flexible display 211 may be wound around a region other than the light shielding region or the image display region according to the driving force generated by the driving unit 230. For example, in the case where the driving force generating unit 231 included in the driving unit 230 is a motor, an area excluding the light shielding area or the image display area in the transparent flexible display 211 may be a light shielding area or an image display area, Or pulled out, through the rotational force of the motor.
In the sound output unit 220, the sound output unit 220 converts an electric signal from the processor 180 into an audio signal and outputs the audio signal. For this purpose, a speaker or the like may be provided. The sound output unit 220 is also capable of outputting sound corresponding to the operation of the user input unit 125, that is, the button.
The driving unit 230 is connected to the transparent flexible display 211 to control the length adjustment of the light blocking area or the image display area included in the transparent flexible display 211. For example, the driving unit 230 can adjust the length of the light blocking area based on the azimuth angle and the altitude angle of the sun tracked by the sun sensor 141. For example, when an input signal for adjusting the length of the light blocking area or the image display area is received through the user input unit 125, the driving unit 230 may adjust the length of the light blocking area or the image display area have.
Meanwhile, the driving unit 230 may include a driving force generating unit 231. The driving force generation section 231 provides a driving force that allows the transparent flexible display 211 connected to the driving section 230 to move forward or backward. For example, the driving force generation section 231 may include a motor or an actuator. For example, when the driving force generating unit 231 is constructed by a motor, the length of the light blocking area or the image display area can be adjusted according to the driving force generated in the transparent flexible display 211. For example, when the driving force generating unit 231 is configured by an actuator, the length of the light blocking area or the image display area can be adjusted according to the driving force generated in the actuator of the transparent flexible display 211.
Meanwhile, the driving unit 230 may transmit the driving force to the transparent flexible display 211 so that the transparent flexible display 211 may wind the area excluding the light shielding area or the image display area. For example, when the driving force generating unit 231 included in the driving unit 230 is configured by a motor, the driving unit 230 may provide the rotational force of the motor to draw in or out the light blocking area or the image display area. In this case, in the transparent flexible display 211, a region excluding the light shielding region or the image display region can be wound or unwound based on the rotational force. The vehicle driving assistant (100) may further include a stopper. Where the stopper limits winding of the transparent flexible display 211.
Meanwhile, the driving unit 230 may further include an elastic portion. Here, the elastic part can support the transparent flexible display 211 upward. The transparent flexible display 211 is supported upward by the elastic portion, thereby restricting the upward and downward movement of the transparent flexible display 211. Because of the function of the elastic portion, the movement of the transparent flexible display 211 is limited even when the vehicle moves up and down, and the effect is fixed without being shaken.
The guide portion 240 is provided inside the vehicle. The guide 240 guides the movement of the transparent flexible display when the length of the transparent flexible display 211 is adjusted.
The guide portion 240 may include a contact portion and a guide driving portion. The contacts may be in contact with a transparent flexible display. The contact portion forms a predetermined angle with the ground. The contacts guide movement of the transparent flexible display. The guide driving portion adjusts an angle formed by the contact portion with the ground surface. For example, the guide driving unit may include a driving force generating means, such as a motor or an actuator, to adjust an angle formed by the contact portion and the ground.
FIGS. 3A to 4B are views for explaining a transparent flexible display, a driving unit, and a guide unit according to an embodiment of the present invention. 3A to 4B are side views of a driver's seat inside a vehicle provided with the vehicle driving assistant device 100. Fig.
3A and 3B, the driving unit 230 is connected to the transparent flexible display 211 to control the length adjustment of the light blocking area or the image display area included in the transparent flexible display 211.
The driving unit 230 may include a driving force generating unit 231, a connecting unit 232, and a moving unit 233.
The driving force generating section 231 provides a driving force that allows the transparent flexible display 211 connected to the driving section 230 to be moved forward or backward under the control of the processor 180. [ In the drawing, the driving force generating unit 231 exemplifies a linear motor, but is not limited thereto. The driving force generation section 231 generates a driving force in accordance with a control command of the processor 180. [
The connection unit 232 connects the driving unit 230 and the transparent flexible display 211. The moving part 233 is attached to the lower end of the connecting part 232. The moving part 233 may be a roller.
The driving force generated by the driving force generation section 231 is transmitted to the connection section 232. The driving unit 230 can move forward or backward through the driving force. That is, the driving unit 230 can move linearly toward the windshield 290 or toward the opposite direction of the windshield 290 through the driving force. The transparent flexible display 211 connected through the connection part 232 can be drawn out of the housing 280 or can be drawn into the housing 280. [ FIG. 3A illustrates a state in which the transparent flexible display 211 is drawn into the housing 280, and FIG. 3B illustrates a state in which the transparent flexible display 211 is drawn out of the housing 280. FIG.
Meanwhile, the housing 280 accommodating the driving unit 230 may be attached to the ceiling of the driver's seat in the vehicle.
The guide portion 240 may include a contact portion 241 and a guide driving portion 243.
The contact portion 241 may be in contact with the transparent flexible display 211. For example, when the transparent flexible display 211 is pulled out of the housing 280, the contact portion 241 contacts the transparent flexible display 211. When the transparent flexible display 211 is continuously drawn out in contact with the contact portion 241, the contact portion 241 guides the moving direction of the transparent flexible display 211. For example, the contact portion 241 guides the transparent flexible display 211 to move downward toward a predetermined angle. 3B illustrates a state in which the contact portion 241 guides the movement of the transparent flexible display 211 and forms a predetermined angle downward.
The guide driving portion 243 adjusts the angle formed by the contact portion 241 with the ground. For example, in order to adjust the angle formed by the transparent flexible display 211 with the ground, the guide driving unit 243 can adjust the angle formed by the contact portion 241 with the ground. Here, the angle that the transparent flexible display 211 forms with the ground can be calculated in the processor 180 based on the position of the sun or the line of sight of the occupant.
On the other hand, the second camera 121b may be disposed in one area of the housing 280 so that the lens faces the passenger. And the second camera 121b can sense a line of sight or a gesture of the occupant. In addition, the microphone 123 may be disposed in one area of the housing 280, so as to facilitate reception of the occupant's voice.
On the other hand, the first camera 121a may be disposed between the guide unit 240 and the windshield 290 such that the lens faces the front of the vehicle.
Figures 4A-4B show differences in the location of the rollers 235 in Figures 3A-3B. The difference will be mainly described below. Referring to FIGS. 4A-4B, the vehicle driving assistance apparatus 100 may include one or more rollers 235. The roller 235 is moved to the transparent flexible display 211 when the transparent flexible display 211 is pulled out of the housing 280 or into the housing 280 by the driving force generated by the driving force generating unit 231, Thereby reducing the frictional force due to the movement of the motor. For example, when the transparent flexible display 211 is pulled out of the housing 280, the roller 235 rotates in contact with the transparent flexible display 211. With the rotation of the roller 235, drawing out of the transparent flexible display 211 is easier. For example, when the transparent flexible display 211 is drawn into the housing 280, the roller 235 rotates in contact with the transparent flexible display 211. With the rotation of the roller 235, the transparent flexible display 211 is more easily drawn in.

The driving force generation section 231 generates a driving force under the control of the processor 180. [ In the figure, the driving force generation section 231 exemplifies a motor. The generated driving force is transmitted to the rotating portion 236. In accordance with the rotation of the rotation part 236, the transparent flexible display 211 moves.

FIGS. 11A through 11D are views referred to to explain a screen displayed on a transparent flexible display according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG.
Referring to FIG. 11A, the transparent flexible display 211 may include image display areas 1110, 1120, and 1130. The processor 180 may display an image received from the camera 121 in an image display area.
For example, the first camera 121a may be composed of a plurality of cameras. The first camera 121a is composed of three cameras, and can capture images of the rear of the vehicle, the rear left, and the rear right. Here, the camera for photographing the rear of the vehicle can be installed at the upper or lower end of the rear plate. A camera that photographs the left rear of the vehicle may be installed in the left door or the left side mirror module. The camera for photographing the right rear of the vehicle may be installed in the right door or the right side mirror module. The processor 180 may display the obtained vehicle rear image in the first area 1110. [ The processor 180 may display the acquired vehicle right rear image in the second area 1120. [ The processor 180 may display the obtained vehicle left rear image in the third area 1130. [ In this case, the transparent flexible display 211 can perform the side mirror function.
For example, the second camera 121b can photograph an in-vehicle image. The processor 180 may display the in-vehicle image in any one of the first to third areas 1110, 1120, and 1130. In this case, the transparent flexible display 211 can perform a room mirror function.
Fig. 11B shows an embodiment in which the vehicle rear image is received and the vehicle rear image is displayed on the display 210. Fig.
The camera for acquiring the vehicle rear image may include a first camera 1160a, a second camera 1160b, and a third camera 1160c. The first camera 1160a may be provided at the rear of the vehicle (e.g., above or below the rear license plate). The first camera 1160a may acquire the first image 1170a. At this time, the first image 1170a may be a vehicle rear image. The second camera 1160b may be provided on the left side of the vehicle (for example, the left side mirror module). And the second camera 1160b may acquire the second image 1170b. At this time, the second image 1170b may be the left rear image of the vehicle. The third camera 1160c may be provided on the right side of the vehicle (for example, the right side mirror module). And the third camera 1160c can acquire the third image 1170c. At this time, the third image 1170c may be the right rear image of the vehicle.
The processor 180 may receive the first to third images 1170a, 1170b and 1170c and may synthesize the first to third images 1170a, 1170b and 1170c to generate the composite image 1180. [ The processor 180 may be controlled to be displayed on the transparent flexible display 211. [
On the other hand, an area overlapping each of the images acquired by the first to third cameras 1160a, 1160b, and 1160c may be generated. When creating the composite image 1180, it is necessary to process overlapping areas.
The processing of the overlapping area can be processed in the following manner. When generating the composite image 1180, the processor 180 synthesizes the first image 1170a and the second image 1170b on the basis of the extension line 1162a (hereinafter referred to as a first line) of the left body line of the vehicle can do. Specifically, the processor 180 determines that the right side of the first line 1162a based on the first line 1162a is based on the first image 1170a, the left side of the first line 1162a is based on the second image 1170b ). ≪ / RTI > In addition, the processor 180 may synthesize the first image 1170a and the third image 1170c based on the extension line 1162b (hereinafter referred to as a second line) of the right side body line of the vehicle. Specifically, the processor 180 determines that the left side of the second line 1162b is based on the first image 1170a, the right side of the second line 1162b is based on the second image 1162b, 1170c. ≪ / RTI > Thus, by combining the first to third images, it is possible to provide the passenger with a wide view of the rear view of the vehicle.
On the other hand, the first to third cameras 1160a, 1160b, and 1160c have different positions in the vehicle. Accordingly, a sense of distance may be generated in the image captured by each camera. When generating the composite image 1180, distance correction is required.
The distance correction can be processed in the following manner. When generating a composite image, the processor 180 may adjust the distance to the second and third images based on the first camera position, thereby synthesizing the first to third images. For example, the second and third cameras may not be disposed in the same plane as the first camera. The first camera may be provided on the upper or lower side of the rear plate of the vehicle, the second camera may be provided on the left side mirror module, and the third camera may be provided on the right side mirror module. In this case, a point at which the second and third cameras acquire an image is different from a point at which the first camera acquires an image. Accordingly, a distance between the second and third cameras and the first image is generated between the second and third cameras and the first camera. The processor 180 can adjust the distance through scaling, just as the first through third images are photographed on the same plane.
Referring to FIG. 11C, the processor 180 may display the vehicle information in the image display area. Here, the vehicle information may be information received from the vehicle sensor unit 760 through the interface unit 160.

In the first state, the display area may be a curved surface in a state deformed by an external force (for example, a state having a finite radius of curvature, hereinafter referred to as a second state). The information displayed in the second state may be time information output on the curved surface. Such visual information is realized by independently controlling the emission of a sub-pixel arranged in a matrix form. The unit pixel means a minimum unit for implementing one color.
The transparent flexible display 441 may be placed in a bent state (e.g., a state in which the flexible flexible display 441 is bent in the up-down direction or the left-right direction) instead of the flat state in the first state.
