Provided are a light control film whereby flickering is hard to recognize when observing external light via the light control film, a light control member comprising same, a vehicle, and an electricity supply method for the light control film. In the vehicle 130, the light control film 1 having a vertically-aligned liquid crystal layer is attached to a sunroof 132. The light control film 1 is attached to the sunroof 132 of the vehicle 130 such that the liquid crystal molecules fall to the rear of the vehicle 130 when an electric field is applied to the liquid crystal layer. As a result, passengers in the vehicle do not sense any flickering inside the car and have no discomfort.

TOUCH DISPLAY SYSTEM AND DRIVING METHOD THEREOF, AND VEHICLE

A touch display system includes: a piece of dimming glass; a transparent display screen provided on a side of the piece of dimming glass; an infrared touch apparatus; and a controller electrically connected to the piece of dimming glass, the display screen, and the infrared touch apparatus. The infrared touch apparatus is configured to generate an infrared detection net on a side of the display screen away from the piece of dimming glass; and the controller is configured to control the infrared touch apparatus to sense a touch action of a user, obtain a touch signal sensed by the infrared touch apparatus, and adjust a display image on the display screen and/or a light transmittance of the piece of dimming glass according to the touch signal.

VEHICLE MOUNTED VIRTUAL VISOR SYSTEM WITH RATE-LIMITED OPTICAL STATE CHANGES
20220402339 · 2022-12-22 ·

A virtual visor system is disclosed that includes a visor having a plurality of independently operable pixels that are selectively operated with a variable opacity. A camera captures images of the face of a driver or other passenger and, based on the captured images, a controller operates the visor to automatically and selectively darken a limited portion thereof to block the sun or other illumination source from striking the eyes of the driver, while leaving the remainder of the visor transparent. The virtual visor system advantageously limits the rate of change of the opacity of each pixel of the visor while updating the optical state of the visor. In this way, rapid and distracting changes in the optical state of the visor are avoided, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle.

The virtual visor system advantageously adopts a gradient blocking mode for the optical state of the visor that includes a blocker and a transition gradient, which has the effect of making updates to optical state of the visor less distracting. Additionally, the transition gradient in the optical state of the visor makes the virtual visor system more robust against errors in positioning the blocker on the visor.
