An information display device attachable to a structure includes a plate-like body, a display panel, and a surface member. The plate-like body is a part of the structure and has a first attaching surface, a second attaching surface opposite to the first attaching surface, and a side portion that connects the first attaching surface and the second attaching surface to each other. The display panel is attached to the plate-like body and displays information on the display surface. The display surface is disposed from the first attaching surface to the second attaching surface of the plate-like body. The surface member is disposed on the display surface side of the display panel to cover the display panel and is in a state where only the information displayed on the display surface of the display panel is visible through the surface member when the display panel is turned on.

One general aspect includes a device control switch for a panel assembly, including: a switch base mounted to the panel assembly; a switch button, tiltably mounted to the switch base, the switch button configured to tilt away from a default position relative to a horizontal axis, the switch button including a nib; a flexibend sensor fixed to a portion of the switch base, the flexibend sensor in substantial contact with the nib via spring force; and where slight tilting of the switch button away from the default position will cause the flexibend sensor to deflect and remain in substantial contact with the nib as the nib moves with the switch button relative to the horizontal axis.

A vehicle state presentation system includes a terminal device including an ear mounting unit that is mounted on an ear of a user, and a vehicle. The vehicle includes a first communication unit that wirelessly communicates with the terminal device, and a first controller that causes the first communication unit to transmit a notification signal indicating that the vehicle detects a state of the vehicle other than a predetermined state to the terminal device, and the terminal device includes a second communication unit that wirelessly communicates with the vehicle, and a second controller that causes an output unit to perform a notification to the user based on the notification signal received by the second communication unit when the terminal device moves out of a predetermined distance range in which the vehicle is included.

A display device includes a window and a display panel coupled to a bottom surface of the window. The display panel has a substantially regular tetragonal shape or a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view, and the window includes a base member and a bezel layer on a bottom surface of the base member. Between one and three light-transmissive main alignment marks and a transmission area having a different shape than that of the display panel are defined in the bezel layer, and each of the main alignment marks is arranged at a position corresponding to a vertex of the display panel or at a position corresponding to a vertex of an imaginary regular tetragon or of an imaginary rectangle that has the same center point as the display panel and that is larger than the display panel.

Disclosed embodiments include power machines having doors with a display that allows the display of information, such as gauges, user inputs, mapped obstacles, boundaries, etc., allowing the operator of the machine to see the displayed information closer to the line of sight with the work area.

A method includes determining the position of the motor vehicle, identifying at least one object not relevant to road traffic as an object in the landscape in the surroundings of the motor vehicle, depending on the determined position, detecting at least the direction of view of a passenger as an occupant of the motor vehicle, and providing a display with information about the at least one object in the landscape viewed by the passenger, such that said information is provided in the direct field of view of the passenger, as defined by the direction of view of the same, in the same place as the object.

A vehicle rear door indicator system. The system includes a contact switch disposed along a rear door of a vehicle. Opening the rear door of the vehicle opens an electrical circuit. The electrical circuit is operably connected to a display. When the electrical circuit is opened the display can show the status of the rear door of the vehicle. A motion sensor is disposed along a desired surface of the vehicle such that the motion sensor can detect when the rear door is in motion. The motion sensor is connected to the display. When the motion sensor detects movement of the rear door the display can alert a user via a movement indicator on the display. The vehicle rear door indicator system can be used to alert a user when the rear door of a vehicle is open, closed, or in motion.

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.
