It is provided a steering wheel for a motor vehicle having a steering-wheel frame and at least one element for setting the vibration frequency and/or the inertia of the steering wheel. The at least one element is electrically conductive and is part of a sensor element.

A method for displaying a pointer in an instrument panel is described. The method comprises retrieving a current instrument status of an instrument of the instrument panel that is to be displayed, determining a pointer form on the basis of the current instrument status, retrieving of the determined pointer form from a texture atlas, and rendering the pointer in the instrument panel with the retrieved pointer form. There is further described a device for displaying an instrument panel, which device comprises a display module configured to display at least one instrument panel having at least one pointer instrument, and a controller configured to carry out the method using the display module. A vehicle having such a device is also disclosed.

A projection display device includes a display device, an optical system, and a shielding plate. The optical system includes a first mirror and a second mirror provided on the regular optical path, the second mirrors being to provide an optical path convergence point on the regular optical path, and the first mirrors being provided at a position corresponding to the optical path convergence point. The projection display device is configured such that a position of a mirror surface of the first mirror and the second mirror is adjustable in accordance with a position of an eye point of a user so as to project the light toward the projection position that corresponds to the position of the eye point. The shielding plate is provided such that the shieling plate does not interfere with the regular optical path and such that the shielding plate interferes with the different optical path.

In a vehicle steering switch system, an operation switch is disposed in a vehicle steering wheel. A displays a display image. An operation detector detects operation of a user on the operation switch. A process corresponding to a function assigned to the operation switch at a detected time is executed. The display image displayed on the display is associated to the function assigned to the operation switch and switching of the display image or the function is performed.

A multi-dimensional track pad is described that acts as human-machine interface (HMI). Inputs to the HMI can be made not only using the tradition two-dimensional (X-Y) inputs of a track pad, but also a third dimension, force, and even a fourth dimension, time. Tactile or audible feedback to the inputs can be provided. Methods of using the HMI to control a system are described as well as a track pad system that utilizes the HMI in communication with a processor.

A driver station of a vehicle including a support structure and a module that has a central part, a steering wheel and an electronic communication interface element. The central part is connected to the support structure. The steering wheel and the electronic communication interface element are arranged on either side of the central part along a main direction. The module is able to be moved relative to the support structure between a first position, in which the steering wheel is provided to be across from a driver, and a second position, in which the electronic communication interface element is provided to be across from the driver.

A display device has a movable screen that is movable in a movement direction, a drive controller, a projector, and a position detector. The drive controller moves the movable screen relative to a reference position set at a prescribed position in a movement range of the movable screen. The projector performs drawing on the movable screen by irradiating the movable screen with light used for scanning the movable screen and projects a virtual image onto a target space based on light that passes through the movable screen. The position detector executes position detection processing for detecting that the movable screen is located at a detection position set in relation to the prescribed position. The position detector moves the movable screen and executes the position detection processing in a non-display period in which the movable screen is not irradiated with light from the projector.

A head-up display system for a motor vehicle includes a projection unit for providing a display image; a transparent, holographic optical fiber display panel for outputting, on a display surface, a display image that is coupled into the display panel via a coupling-in region; and a guide device designed to move the display panel between an operational position and a parked position.

The embodiments disclosed in this application describe a displaying system, a displaying method, and a head-up display. The heads-up displaying system includes a display window including a transflective film, an image source emitting light incident on the imaging window, and the light emitted by the image source before reaching the transflective film only comprising s-polarized light. The transflective film is configured to directly reflect a first portion of the s-polarized light emitted from the image source. The transparent substrate reflects a second portion of the s-polarized light, and transmits a third portion of the s-polarized light to the air, the first portion of the s-polarized light, the second portion of the s-polarized light and the third portion of the s-polarized light are all s-polarized light.

This disclosure relates to a vehicular display assembly and a vehicle, and the vehicular display assembly includes: a storage box; and a display device arranged on an opening side of the storage box, wherein the display device includes a laid state or a folding state, wherein the display device which is laid shields the opening of the storage box, and the display device which is folded exposes at least a part of the opening of the storage box.
