HEAD-UP DISPLAY DEVICE, VEHICLE INCLUDING THE SAME, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE HEAD-UP DISPLAY DEVICE
A head-up display device includes: a cradle on which an electronic device is placed; a glass in which an image, which is output from the electronic device, is reflected; and a controller that receives a control command of the electronic device and adjusts a tilt of the cradle. Accordingly, even though the position of a driver's eyes is shifted according to the driver's posture change, or a new driver sits in the driver's seat, the head-up display device enables the driver to easily gaze at the head-up display device.
Head-Up Display (HUD) Mirror Assembly And Housing
A heads-up display (HUD) mirror housing. The HUD mirror housing includes a peripheral frame portion extending along a longitudinal axis, a rear body portion connected to the peripheral frame portion connected to each other to house a mirror such that a reflective surface of the mirror is exposed, and first and second pegs extending away from the peripheral frame portion and extending along the longitudinal axis. In this embodiment, the first peg has a first bearing surface configured to bear against a first bracket mounting slot when the HUD mirror housing is in an assembled configuration.
DISPLAY DEVICE
A display device is provided and may include a light source that emits a light beam, a scanner that causes the light beam to scan, a movable screen in which an image is formed by transmitting the light beam from scanner, an optical system configured to project the image on a display medium, and a driver configured to cause the movable screen to reciprocate in moving directions. The image includes a first image and a second image. The movable screen reciprocates in a posture inclined with respect to the moving directions such that a second end of the movable screen is positioned closer to the scanner than a first end of the movable screen. The scanner forms the second image in the movable screen while the movable screen moves such that a forming direction of the second image is inclined with respect to a direction approaching the scanner.
Display device and motor vehicle with the display device
A base unit with a base dent region supports a main display unit having a main display panel. The main display unit is integrated in the base dent region and is rotatable about a base axis between a main loaded position and a main viewing position where the main display panel is visually accessible to a user from a predefined head position. The display device includes an auxiliary display unit which is integrated in a main dent region of the main display unit. The auxiliary display unit includes an auxiliary display panel which is designed to be visually accessible to the user from the predefined head position by rotating the main display unit about the base axis.
Rotating vehicle center information display with stationary buttons and touch bar
An apparatus and methods for rotating a console display device of a vehicle are disclosed. The apparatus includes a display device; a rotation mechanism connected to the display device and configured to rotate the display device between a portrait orientation and a landscape orientation; a touch bar having at least one button; and a memory storing instructions. The instructions include receiving a request from a user via the touch bar to rotate the display device from the portrait orientation to the landscape orientation; sending a message to the user via the display device providing a time for the user to cancel the request; executing, via the rotation mechanism, a rotation of the display device from the portrait orientation to the landscape orientation after the provided time to cancel the request elapses; and sending a signal to disable vehicle movement.
Head-up display device
A head-up display device includes an image display device that outputs display light of an image; a mirror having a reflecting surface that reflects the display light toward a reflecting portion, and an input shaft; a motor that has an output shaft located on an extended line of the input shaft, and rotates the output shaft; a transmission member that has a cylindrical fitting portion to which the input shaft is press-fitted and a coupling portion coupled with the output shaft and transmitting output torque of the motor from the output shaft to the input shaft; a holding member that holds the motor; and a first spring that is interposed between the holding member and the transmission member, and imparts, to the transmission member, a biasing force oriented to bring the mirror close to the output shaft.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAVING A DEFORMABLE DISPLAY
Vehicle information is displayed on a deformable display of an instrument cluster for a motor vehicle. The instrument cluster includes the deformable display, a support structure, at least one sensor element, and at least one movement element. The deformable display is arranged on the support structure and the support structure is movable from a first position into a second position by using the at least one movement element, based on environmental influences detected by the sensor element.
Adaptive backup structure for airbag support
In a vehicle having a display mounted forward of a passenger seat on a dashboard and angled toward a driver seat adjacent the passenger seat, the display is moveable from the angled position to a position flush with the dashboard, and an airbag system is configured to deploy an airbag cushion that displaces the display from the angled position to the position flush with the dashboard to ensure that the airbag cushion has an adequate backup or support surface.
HOLDING ARRANGEMENT AND VEHICLE
A pivotable display system having a traction spring tensioned to reversibly pivot the display around a pivot axis of a shaft connected to an upper portion of a display in a direction from a front side of the display toward the rear side of the display. In the event of an accident-related application of force below a threshold, the display is rotatable in a rearward direction toward an instrument panel, so that a steering column pushed in a direction towards the display avoids or at least reduces the risk of destruction of the display. In the event of accident-related application of force above the threshold, the traction spring may reversibly displace the display upwardly away from the steering column.
DEVICE AND METHOD FOR INTERLOCKING DISPLAY DEVICE
Disclosed herein is a device for interlocking a display device with a vehicle, the device including a mount disposed in the vehicle, the display device being attached to and detached from the mount, a first sliding member disposed on a front surface of the mount and capable of moving forward or backward in a direction perpendicular to a rear surface of the display device, and a connector provided to the first sliding member, wherein the connector may transmit and receive electrical signals to and from the display device. The vehicle may be controlled by coupling a display device to the interlocking device disposed in the vehicle. Even when the display device is not coupled to the vehicle, the vehicle may be controlled by pairing through wireless communication between the vehicle and the display device.
