A ventilation device includes at least one aerator having a channel capable of conveying an air flow from an inlet opening to an outlet opening, a hollow air guiding core housed in the channel and defining two air guiding surfaces delimiting, with this channel, two flow paths capable of transporting, respectively, to the outlet opening, first and second quantities of air from the inlet opening, a fin mounted so as to be able to pivot upstream from the core and arranged so as to make it possible to adjust the ratio between the first and second quantities of air, depending on the position of same, and a control module incorporated at least partially into the core of at least the aerator and having a control panel constituted at least partially by a downstream end wall of the core and being provided with a control device.

A display device that includes a display element including a light source, and a surface film disposed so as to overlap with the display element and including a thermoplastic elastomer composition, the thermoplastic elastomer composition satisfying conditions (1) and (2) below, and the surface film satisfying conditions (3) and (4) below: (1) The melt flow rate (ASTM D1238, 230° C., 2.16 kg load; MFR) is not less than 30 g/10 min. (2) The type A hardness (momentary value) measured by a method in accordance with JIS K6253 is 60 to 90. (3) The thickness is not less than 300 μm and not more than 2 mm. (4) The total light transmittance measured by a method in accordance with JIS K7361 is 3 to 60%.

A transparent pixel matrix, a screening layer, and a control circuit are included in a display apparatus. The control circuit displays a graphic object on the pixel matrix. The screening layer includes individually switchable segments arranged behind the pixel matrix and the segments are switchable with respect to their transparency between a minimum value and a maximum value. The control circuit selects the graphic object based on an input by the user. The control circuit signals the graphic object is selected by operating a first segment among the segments arranged behind the selected graphic object as a selection segment, with the minimum value of transparency or with the maximum value of transparency, and by operating a second segment among the segments as a background segment in a complementary fashion with respect to the selection segment, with the maximum value of transparency or the minimum value of transparency.

An information providing device is equipped with one or more displays that display notification information, a camera that acquires information of a vehicle occupant, a vehicle occupant detection unit that detects a field of view of the vehicle occupant, a display determination unit that determines whether or not there is a display that lies within the field of view, a display decision unit that makes a decision, on the basis of the determination of the display determination unit, regarding a notification display to allow the notification information to be displayed, and a notification control unit that controls the one or more displays.

Systems, methods, and computer readable storage media provide dynamic chassis and tire status indications associated with a vehicle. Lift axle status data may be graphically represented by a lift axle indicator dynamically provided in a shared notification/messaging space positioned within the driver's line of sight during a lift axle transition. The lift axle indicator may include a side-view representation of the vehicle including a plurality of axle sections indicating the status of each axle. The lift axle indicator may be suppressed when air pressure is stabilized. Additionally, a graphical representation of data associated with statuses (e.g., air pressure, temperature) of each tire may be provided in a top-down view representation of the vehicle including its associated tire/axle configuration and the tire pressure for each tire. The graphical representation may be configured to reflect the correct number of axles and tires per position, and may further include a tractor versus trailer designation.

A switchable backlight for a switchable privacy display apparatus comprises a collimated waveguide and an optical turning film comprising first and second arrays of elongate prismatic elements. High image luminance and image visibility is provided for off-axis viewers in a public mode of operation while in a privacy mode of operation visual security level above a perceived privacy threshold may be achieved for off-axis snoopers.

An overhead display system for a vehicle is disclosed. The system includes a trim panel, a set of brackets, and a plurality of display units. The brackets are disposed within an interior region of the trim panel, and the display units are mounted on the brackets through openings formed in the trim panel. The display units are arranged such that a pair of screens can be oriented in both a rearward-facing direction and a forward-facing direction. The system is configured as a module that can be readily installed in a roof structure of a vehicle.

A method for influencing light propagation directions of a light-emitting surface emitting light of a first wavelength range in a first direction and light of a second and wavelength range in a second direction. The wavelength ranges have a wavelength-dependent spectral radiance and differ in a peak wavelength. A switchable color converter is arranged in front of the light-emitting surface. The method includes the steps of a) deactivating the color converter for a first mode so that the second-wavelength range is transmitted and the first-wavelength range is absorbed, such that light from the light-emitting surface is only perceptible from the second direction, or b) activating the color converter for a second mode so that light of the first-wavelength range is converted into light of the second-wavelength range and light of the second-wavelength range is transmitted, such that light from the light-emitting surface is perceptible from both directions.

A display control device provided at a vehicle and including a processor, a first display section, a second display section adjacent to the first display section, and a third display section adjacent to the second display section in a different direction from the first display section. The processor being configured to: control the first display section, the second display section, and the third display section; acquire notification information to be notified to a driver of the vehicle; and execute an animation such that the notification information currently being displayed on one of the first display section or the third display section is displayed on the second display section and then displayed on another of the first display section or the third display section.

A vehicle display device comprises a display section, a control section. The display section is provided inside a vehicle cabin and includes a display area capable of displaying an image. The control section includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to cause a plurality of plans scheduled for execution by a vehicle to be displayed in the display area in a row in scheduled execution sequence, and to cause a top plan that is a plan having an earliest scheduled execution from out of the plurality of plans to disappear by fade-out processing in the display area when a prescribed condition related to the top plan has been satisfied.
