Embodiments of a deadfront configured to hide a display when the display is not active are provided. The deadfront includes a substrate having a first major surface and a second major surface. The second major surface is opposite the first major surface. The deadfront also includes a neutral density filter disposed on the second major surface of the transparent substrate and an ink layer disposed on the neutral density filter. The deadfront defines at least one display region in which the deadfront transmits at least 60% of incident light and at least one non-display region in which the deadfront transmits at most 5% of incident light. A contrast sensitivity between each of the at least one display region and each of the at least one non-display region is at least 15 when the display is not active.

A display assembly for an automotive interior comprises a dynamically bendable cover panel having first and second panel portions a flexible panel portion connecting the first and second panel portions, a display positioned adjacent the first and second panel portions, and a frame that supports the cover panel and comprises a first frame portion for supporting the first panel portion, a second frame portion for supporting the second panel portion, and a hinge portion coupling the first frame portion and the second frame portion, the hinge portion configured to induce a curvature having smoothly connected arc segments in the flexible panel portion between the first panel portion and the second panel portion when the second frame portion is articulated relative to the first frame portion from a straight position to a deployed position.

A method for influencing light beams in the interior of a motor vehicle. The light beams come from the direction of a mirror bank associated with a head-up display. Different approaches are provided for providing an enhanced display option and simultaneously reducing a dazzling of a vehicle occupant by unwanted reflections. The light beams are generated in the mirror bank, wherein some of the generated light beams are blocked in the region of the mirror bank in such a way that a particular keep-clear region is created into which reflected light beams can no longer enter, or generated light beams in the region of the mirror bank are directed without reflection onto a particular viewing region, or the generated light beams in the region of the mirror bank are polarised and only such polarised portions of the light beams that cause no or only negligible reflections exit the mirror bank.

Disclosed is an electronic device including a touch sensing unit, and an input unit provided on the touch sensing unit, and including a cover substrate having an input pattern. The touch sensing unit includes a substrate including an active area having a plurality of unit cells, and a sensing line provided on the active area of the substrate to perform a sensing operation through a time domain measuring scheme.

A resin molded product that is applied to a vehicle display device has a surface on which a plurality of fine irregularities having surface roughness of equal to or larger than 1.0 m and equal to or smaller than 10.0 m and an array pitch of equal to or larger than 3.0 m and equal to or smaller than 18.0 m are molded. In other words, the resin molded product has the surface on which the fine irregularities causing a gloss value at an incident angle of 85 to be equal to or lower than 2 are molded. This configuration provides an effect that the resin molded product and the vehicle display device can lower gloss of the surface.

A head-up display device comprises a cradle assembly and a stand assembly. The cradle assembly is configured to support a portable electronic device having a display. The stand assembly is configured to mount on a dashboard of a vehicle. The cradle assembly includes a platform and a combiner configured to at least partially reflect an output of the display of the portable electronic device. The combiner is pivotally connected to the platform using at least one combiner holder. The stand assembly includes a base and a pivot joint connected to the base and arranged substantially over the upper surface of the base. The stand assembly also has a coupler attached to the pivot joint and configured to releasably connect the cradle assembly with the stand assembly. The lower surface of the base may include a repositionable adhesive layer for coupling to the dashboard.

An accessory system for a vehicle includes an attachment element bonded to an in-cabin windshield surface at a first windshield location and an attachment member attached at the in-cabin windshield surface at a second windshield location. An interior rearview mirror assembly has a mirror support that has a mirror mount configured to mount the mirror assembly to the attachment element. A module is configured to be received by and be supported by the attachment member attached at the windshield. With the module received by and supported by the attachment member at the windshield, a camera of the module views through the windshield and is part of a driver assistance system of the vehicle. With the module received by and supported by the attachment member at the windshield, the mirror mount can be mounted to and demounted from the attachment element without demounting the module from the attachment member.

A seamless instrument cluster is provided herein, and a method for providing a seamless instrument cluster as well. The seamless instrument cluster includes an antireflective (AR) film. The AR films may be provided with an airgap disposed between. Also discussed herein is providing an instrument cluster with an applique with a fade pattern. The aspects disclosed herein may be implemented with an instrument cluster employing a neutral density (ND) filter situated between an antiglare surface on a front layer of the applique and a rear layer of an ink.

In some embodiments, a display system comprises a set of reflective or semi-reflective elements. A display emits light such that one portion of the light travels a first path through the display system, and another portion travels a second path, which includes a reflection from a windshield. The two portions form virtual images that are simultaneously viewable in a headbox. In some embodiments, the source of light that forms the image is an ambient source, and the display system is at least in part a sunlight-driven display system. In some embodiments, virtual images have a monocular depth that is far from a viewer. In some embodiments, the virtual images are closer to a viewer, and a gesture camera captures information about gestures made by a viewer, said gestures modifying the virtual images or some property or dynamics of the vehicle.

Provided are a bezel body and a vehicular display device that effectively reduces a sense of discomfort provided to a passenger by making reflection on a windshield less visible. Since a reflection portion is formed in a predetermined area on a lower surface of a light guide member at the rear side, the guided external light is easy to reflect upward, whereby light can efficiently be emitted from the light guide member toward a descending wall. Therefore, this configuration can prevent the descending wall from being darkly reflected on a windshield, thereby making the reflection less visible and effectively reducing a sense of discomfort provided to the passenger.
