A display apparatus for a motor vehicle includes a display surface. A piece of information is displayed on the display surface. In order to offer an optimum display and detectability of the information in different situations, the display surface is arranged on a movably mounted closure device of the motor vehicle and a display of the information is controlled subject to a degree of opening of the closure device detected by using a position sensor of the motor vehicle.

Often when there is a glare on a display screen the user may be able to mitigate the glare by tilting or otherwise moving the screen or changing their viewing position. However, when driving a car there are limited options for overcoming glares on the dashboard, especially when you are driving for a long distance in the same direction. Embodiments are directed to eliminating such glare. Other embodiments are related to mixed reality (MR) and filling in occluded areas.

A vehicle comprises a console that includes a separator sheet extendable beyond boundaries of the console, and at least one of a human-machine interface; a passive restraint, a storage container, and a vent.

A user interface system for a vehicle interior includes a contact surface, a sensor grid and a controller. The sensor grid is configured for variable electrical resistance in response to applied pressure and the controller is configured to detect the electrical resistance of the sensor grid by monitoring a voltage. The controller detects the location of an input from a vehicle occupant, the intensity of the input, and the duration of the input.

The present disclosure relates to a vibration generation device, a display apparatus including the vibration generation device, and a vehicle including the vibration generation device. A vibration generation device includes a piezoelectric ceramic part having a certain interval, a piezoelectric material layer between the piezoelectric ceramic parts, and an electrode part configured to provide electric field to one or more of the piezoelectric ceramic part and the piezoelectric material layer.

An intelligent control system for use within a car includes a plurality of connection stations at different positions, and at least one smart display. The display includes a mating seat adapted to be detachably connected to the connection station. The display may show the main use interface (UI) corresponding to such a specific connection station recognized by the intelligent control system. The connection station includes detection circuits to inform the system of the connected display and allow the correct corresponding UI to be shown on the display. The display may be a tablet so as to connect with the computer system of the car for obtaining the data of the car.

A camera on a vehicle captures an image of the surroundings, and the image is presented in a window of the vehicle that is established by a transparent display such as an OLED display or transparent LCD display. The image from the camera is presented on the display according to the angle of the camera with respect to the vehicle, such that an occupant of the vehicle sees the image on the window substantially in the same relative location with respect to the surroundings as the occupant would see looking at the objects in the image through the window. In other embodiments images from a database are presented on the window superimposed onto background objects seen through the window.

A vehicle display assembly may comprise a transparent element defining a viewing surface, a display element disposed behind the transparent element, and a printed circuit board in electrical communication with the display element. The display element is configured to generate an image visible through the transparent element. The vehicle display assembly may be in communication with at least one of a vehicle sensor and a vehicle computer. The images appearing in the display element may change orientation based on the presence or absence of a vehicle occupant.

An operating device for a transportation vehicle having at least one touch-sensitive operating area to display at least one operating symbol and to actuate at least one window lifter. The operating device, viewed from an imaginary installed state in the transportation vehicle, has an upper face and a front face adjoining the upper face, at least one touch-sensitive operating area for actuating a window lifter that is on at least part of the upper face and also on at least part of the front face.

An image rendering apparatus includes a light source unit, a detecting unit, an optical scanner, a light source driving unit, and an adjusting unit. The light source driving unit is configured to control the light source unit in such a way that a rendered image is generated by the scan of the optical scanner inside a scan area scanned by the optical scanner and that a characteristic laser beam is emitted at a position and in a pattern corresponding to a rendered content of the rendered image. The rendered image includes an indicator related to a speed of a vehicle. The light source driving unit is configured to control the light source unit to emit the characteristics detecting laser beam in such a way that a scale for the indicator related to the speed of the vehicle is rendered.
