An electronic unit for a vehicle, comprising surface elements arranged next to one another with a visible surface side and a surface underside is disclosed. The surface elements are fixed in a housing. The housing has a top side facing the surface underside and an underside, wherein a carrier plate is provided. Each housing on its underside has at least one protruding fixing element for fixing the surface elements to the carrier plate. The carrier plate connects the surface elements together, wherein each fixing element has an index element arranged on the fixing element between the carrier plate and the underside and is releasably connected to the fixing element. The index elements are connected to the carrier plate by substance bonding so each surface element is releasably fixed to the carrier plate, and wherein by the index elements, the surface elements are arranged relative to and level with one another.

A visible component for a motor vehicle includes a fiber-reinforced plastics component having a multi-layer fiber reinforcement which is integrated in an at least largely transparent plastics matrix. The fiber reinforcement is formed by a visible layer in the form of a metallized glass fiber layer and at least one largely transparent structural layer. A touch display is also provided on a rear face of the fiber-reinforced plastics component facing the visible layer.

A method is disclosed for triggering at least one airbag, in particular a passenger airbag, positioned behind or next to a display apparatus, an impact being detected and at least one airbag being triggered via a control unit, a triggering unit being triggered in addition to the at least one airbag in order to destroy the display apparatus. Furthermore, an apparatus is disclosed, in particular for use in a vehicle.

An occupant monitoring device for a vehicle includes an imager, a display, and a determiner. The imager is configured to image a cabin of the vehicle to monitor conditions of occupants in the vehicle. The display is configured to display a screen to be viewed by the occupants in the vehicle. The determiner is configured to determine the conditions of the occupants in the vehicle by using captured image data obtained by imaging each of the occupants by the imager while the screen is displayed on the display. A panel configured to display the screen of the display has a non-display area on an inner side of a rectangular frame circumscribing a display area of the screen. The imager is disposed on a back of the non-display area of the panel of the display.

Disclosed is a flexible display device for a vehicle, including a casing with an opening defined therein, a display unit capable of being retracted into and extended out of the casing via the opening, a display driver for moving the display unit, and a display winder for winding the display unit thereon based on the movement of the display unit.

A vehicle display device includes a display unit, a surrounding member, and a cover member. The surrounding member is disposed to surround a periphery of the display unit and has an opening at an end on a viewing side. The cover member is disposed on a display surface of the display unit on the viewing side and covers the opening of the surrounding member. The surrounding member does not cover a surface of the cover member on the viewing side in a direction normal to the surface of the cover member. The surrounding member includes an upper surrounding portion located above the display unit. An upper viewing side end of the upper surrounding portion projects from the surface of the cover member in the direction normal to the surface of the cover member by a length of 0.1 mm or more and 2.0 mm or less relative to the surface of the cover member.

A head-up display device that is installed in a vehicle and displays display information in a position overlapping with a window, a terminal holder installed in the vicinity of the window in a vehicle interior, a mobile terminal installation detection unit that detects whether a mobile terminal is installed on the terminal holder, and a control unit that controls the head-up display device are provided, in which the head-up display device includes a display position change unit that changes a display position of the display information, and the control unit changes the display position from a first display position to a second display position when the installation of the mobile terminal is detected by the mobile terminal installation detection unit.

The invention relates to a display device (100) comprising: a display (150); a curved and at least partially transparent plate (170); and a structural part (180) comprising a frame (181) which at least partially frames the display and one end face (182) of which forms a bearing surface onto which said plate is applied. According to the invention, the bearing surface is curved according to a mathematical function which has a hyperbolic cosine term.

A bodywork panel (13,28) for a vehicle such as a racing car (1,2) or a racing motor cycle (27) is fitted with one or more optically clear panels (16), which are profiled to follow the aerodynamic form of the bodywork panel (13,28). A flexible reflective display screen (17), for examples based on e-paper, is mounted to an inner face of each optically clear panel (16) such that an image on the display screen (17) is visible outside the vehicle through the optically clear panel (16). A paint finish on the bodywork panel (13,28) continues over a peripheral region of each optically clear panel (16), concealing a join between it and the bodywork panel (13,28). Images displayed on the display screens (17) via a display controller (25) can thus appear like painted graphics on the bodywork panel (13,28), except that they may be changed as desired. Thus, graphics on the vehicle, such as advertising and sponsorship logos, can be changed at will during a race. Leathers (30,40) worn by racing motor cyclists can be fitted with similar display screens (17) mounted behind optically clear flexible plastic panels (42) sewn to the leathers (30,40).

A mount carries a heads-up display in an electric vehicle having two A-pillars and a cross beam extending transversely between the pillars, a support fixed to the cross beam and traversed by a steering column of the vehicle, and two transversely spaced flat brackets extending parallel to each other longitudinally forward from the support and embracing the display. Each bracket is formed wholly of sheet steel and has having a straight upper edge projecting longitudinally forward and downward and formed with a bent-out edge strip and an angled lower edge converging longitudinally away from the cross beam toward the upper edge and having a bent-out edge strip. Each bracket further has a front end provided with an attachment plate constructed for attachment to a vehicle firewall and a rear end formed with an upper hole constructed to receive a fastener securing the respective bracket to the support.
