A low-profile, backlit panel assembly and a controller for displaying images and/or data within a passenger compartment of a vehicle are provided. The assembly includes a substrate panel perforated with a two-dimensional array of closely-spaced holes. The panel is configured to be attached to a support structure of the vehicle. The assembly further includes a plurality of semiconductor-based, lighting devices supported at a back surface of the panel. Each of the lighting devices includes at least one lighting element. Each of the lighting elements is individually addressable by the controller to control luminous intensity of the light emitted by the at least one lighting element. Each of the lighting devices is aligned with one of the holes so that light emitted by each of the lighting devices travels through its hole to the passenger compartment in the form of a pixel of a two-dimensional image.

A mounting device for a smart device is adapted for removable connection to a headrest of a vehicle seat. The mounting device includes a first clamp including a first opening adapted for sliding receipt of a first headrest post of the headrest, and a second clamp separate from the first clamp and including a second opening adapted for sliding receipt of a second headrest post of the headrest. An adjustment mechanism operably connects the first clamp and the second clamp. The adjustment mechanism includes a cam latch aligned along a lateral distance separating the first clamp from the second clamp. The cam latch has a released position allowing for selective adjustment of the lateral distance between the first clamp from the second clamp and an engaged position for fixing the lateral distance between the first clamp and the second clamp.

The disclosure provides a vehicle-mounted display device and an automobile having same. The vehicle-mounted display device includes a first display screen and a second display screen. At least the first display screen is a flexible and foldable display screen. The first display screen includes a bending section and two non-bending sections disposed at two sides of the bending section. One of the two non-bending sections is attached to an automobile, and the other of the two non-bending sections is configured to retract or expand the first display screen by the bending section. The first display screen connects with the second display screen to form a display screen assembly after being expanded.

Disclosed is an extension tube-type vehicle-mounted back support comprising a mounting rod and a mounting part mounted on the mounting rod and used for fixing a mobile terminal. The mounting rod comprises a connector and two connection tubes respectively connected to the left and right ends of the connector, wherein outer ends of the two connection tubes are both connected to a clamping part, an extension spring is provided inside at least one of the connection tubes, and the corresponding clamping part is arranged in a manner of shifting to the left and right relative to the connection tube with the action of the extension spring. The overall structure of the mounting rod is simple and compact and has good stability. By designing the mounting rod as an elastically extending structure, the mounting rod can be directly installed on a vehicle seat headrest metal rod.

Display systems for a vehicle are contemplated that comprise a seat display unit coupled with a display screen, where the display screen is affixed to a seat back and the seat display unit is disposed within the seat back. The display screen is fixed to the seat back such that its relative position with the seat back remains constant when the seat back is reclined. The seat display unit is coupled to the seat back, such that the seat display unit automatically tilts or pivots when the seat back is reclined, and while the display screen does not move relative to the seat back.

A tablet device holder assembly may include a housing defining a housing opening and including a housing lip arranged on a first side of the housing above the housing opening, and a removable bezel having a projection configured to extend through the housing opening and defining a projection opening that when the bezel is rotated to an installed state, the lip is received within the projection opening to maintain the bezel on the housing.

A vehicle seatback assembly includes a cavity disposed in a seatback of a vehicle and a storage system. The storage system is movable between a first position in which the storage system is stowed in the cavity and a second position in which the storage system extends from the cavity.

A mobile video system includes a first video source, a second video source, a first video monitor, a second video monitor, an audio signal receiver, and a wireless transmitter. One of the first video source and the second video source generates a first audiovisual signal. One of the first video monitor and the second video monitor receives a video portion of at least one of the first audiovisual signal and the second audiovisual signal. The wireless transmitter transmits an audio portion of one of the first audiovisual signal or the second audiovisual signal to the audio signal receiver. A video portion of the first audiovisual signal or the second audiovisual signal is displayed on the first video monitor, on the second video monitor, or on both the first video monitor and the second video monitor.

A mobile video system is disclosed. The mobile video system includes: a radio that includes a loudspeaker configured to output a signal received by the radio; a video source that generates an audiovisual signal; and a video monitor configured to receive a video portion of the audiovisual signal. The video monitor includes: a housing sized be positioned within the headrest, the housing comprising a first hinge portion and defining a storage cavity; a screen sized and shaped to be positioned within the storage cavity, the screen structure comprising a second hinge portion configured to cooperate with the first hinge portion to secure the screen structure to the housing; a first transmitter configured to transmit an audiovisual signal to a first receiver, wherein the first receiver is the radio; and a second transmitter configured to transmit the audiovisual signal to a second receiver.
