A vehicle display apparatus includes an image display panel, a backlight, and a translucent plate. The image display panel displays an image in a display area. The backlight emits a light in a direction from a back surface of the image display panel toward the display area. The translucent plate has a plate shape and is disposed between the image display panel and the backlight. The translucent plate transmits the light emitted from the backlight. The translucent plate has a three-dimensional indicator configured to be visually recognized through the image display panel, and a periphery portion of the translucent plate is disposed out of the display area.

Embodiments of a curved vehicle display including a display module having a display surface, a curved glass substrate disposed on the display surface having a first major surface, a second major surface having a second surface area, and a thickness in a range from 0.05 mm to 2 mm, wherein the second major surface comprises a first radius of curvature of 200 mm or greater, wherein, when the display module emits a light, the light transmitted through the glass substrate has a substantially uniform color along 75% or more of the second surface area, when viewed at a viewing angle at a distance of 0.5 meters from the second surface. Methods of forming a curved vehicle display are also disclosed.

Described are various embodiments of a digital display device to render an image for viewing by a viewer having reduced visual acuity, the device comprising: a digital display medium for rendering the image based on pixel data related thereto; a complementary light field display portion; and a hardware processor operable on said pixel data for a selected portion of the image to be rendered via said complementary light field display portion so to produce vision-corrected pixel data corresponding thereto to at least partially address the viewer's reduced visual acuity when viewing said selected portion as rendered in accordance with said vision-corrected pixel data by said complementary light field display portion.

The present disclosure provides a meter cluster. The meter cluster includes a first luminous panel and a second luminous panel. The first luminous panel indicates first information. The second luminous panel is arranged in front of the first luminous panel. The second luminous panel indicates second information. Each of the first luminous panel and the second luminous panel has transparency. The first information of the first luminous panel is visible through the second luminous panel.

Detected events such as impacts, accidents, breakdowns, and types of driving behaviors based on feedback from tilt, gravity, accelerometers and/or shock sensors within a portable electrical power storage device such as a battery and/or within a vehicle (e.g., an electric scooter) are communicated to the user's mobile device, dashboard display and/or backend systems over wired and/or wireless communication channels. The communication of the events and types of events are logged and automatically aggregated from multiple vehicles for further analysis to determine various potential system-wide safety issues and to track event history on an individual per-user or individual per-scooter basis or individual per-battery basis. Such event data may also be transferred accordingly via the battery exchange process at the online exchange machine through a memory device attached to the battery that stores the event data.

A vehicle display device includes: a housing unit having an opening facing an eye point side of a vehicle; a decorative member disposed inside the housing unit; a display device configured to display an image inside the housing unit, a drive device configured to move the decorative member in a width direction of the housing unit; and an illumination device operated depending on a movement of the decorative member to irradiate the decorative member with light. The illumination device may have a plurality of light sources arranged along the width direction.

One general aspect of the present disclosure includes a display device for a vehicle for displaying at least one symbol. The display device may include a translucent cover layer, a symbol layer having a translucent symbol panel for displaying a symbol, and an opaque surface encompassing the symbol panel. A gap may be disposed between the symbol panel and the cover layer. A waveguide assembly may be included and configured to conduct light onto a side of the symbol panel facing away from the cover layer.

A pointer device for an indicator instrument, in particular for a vehicle, is provided with a light-guide body defined by a single piece, which, in use, receives light from a light source and has a hub and a pointer radially protruding from the hub; the hub has a surface covered by a shield and a light transmission portion, which, on the opposite side, ends with at least one light emission area; the device is provided with a cap defined by a single piece, which is separate from said light-guide body and has an intermediate portion and a lateral portion arranged in an inner and outer radial position, respectively, relative to the light transmission portion; the cap has at least one through opening aligned with the light emission area and connection portions extending radially and joining the intermediate portion to the lateral portion.

A backlight is located on an incident side of a liquid crystal cell with a space. A first polarizing plate between the liquid crystal cell and the backlight is spaced from the liquid crystal cell. A second polarizing plate is located on an outgoing side of the liquid crystal cell. A light guiding plate is located between the liquid crystal cell and the first polarizing plate with a space from the liquid crystal cell to transmit a part of light and to guide the light to enter the liquid crystal cell. The display unit and the emitting unit are separately provided. The polarizing axes of the first polarizing plate and the second polarizing plate extend in different directions. When linearly polarized light after passing through the first polarizing plate enters the second polarizing plate, the second polarizing plate shuts off the linearly polarized light.

A vehicle lighting system includes: a lighting device that emits a first light and a second light to a periphery of an own vehicle, the second light having a higher directivity than the first light; a camera to acquire image information; a detector to emit an electromagnetic wave and acquire a reflection wave; and an electronic control unit configured to detect a physical body using the image information, detect the physical body using information of the reflection wave, control the lighting device such that the first light is emitted to the physical body detected by the reflection wave, determine whether the physical body detected using the image information in a state where the first light is being emitted is an target object, and control the lighting device such that the lighting device emits the second light toward a predetermined range around the target object.
