An automotive display module can include a mounting bracket, a display panel, a cover substrate, and a frame member. The mounting bracket can be securable to a component of an automobile. The display panel can be coupled to the mounting bracket and the frame member can be connected to a back side of the cover substrate.

A device for receiving a display/operating panel and positioning the display/operating panel in a vehicle structure. The device may include at least one guide, that can bear on a corresponding receiver in the vehicle structure, characterized in that the guide includes both guide elements as well as deformation elements.

A glass substrate unit includes a glass substrate and a glass deformation device for deforming the glass substrate. The glass substrate includes a thin portion and a thick portion, the thin portion having a first main surface and a second main surface opposite to the first main surface, the thick portion having a first main surface and a second main surface opposite to the first main surface and having a sheet thickness larger than a sheet thickness of the thin portion. The glass deformation device deforms the glass substrate by moving one of the thin portion and the thick portion.

An assembly of a dash for a vehicle includes a first plate and a second plate movable along an axis away from the first plate. The second plate moves from an undeployed position to a deployed position. The assembly includes spring between the first plate and the second plate that biases the second plate toward the deployed position. The assembly includes a post extending along the axis from the second plate through the first plate. The assembly includes a pin releasably engaging the post with the first plate in the undeployed position. The assembly includes a release supported by the first plate and connected to the pin. The pin is disengageable from the post transverse to the axis by the release.

The present invention relates to a vehicle-mounted display device disposed in an interior member of a vehicle. The vehicle-mounted display device of the invention includes: a display panel; a cover glass covering the display panel; a housing accommodating the display panel; and a holding portion holding a position of the housing, in which the cover glass is a tempered glass having a thickness being 0.5 to 2.5 mm, a thickness of a compressive stress layer being 10 μm or more, and a surface compressive stress of the compressive stress layer being 650 MPa or higher, and when the thickness (unit: mm) of the cover glass is represented by x and an energy absorption rate (unit: %) of the holding portion is represented by y, Expression (1) is satisfied, and impact resistance of the cover glass is excellent:
y≥−37.1×ln(x)+53.7  (1).

A vehicle interior system is provided. The vehicle interior system includes a back structure that further includes one or more display devices for a vehicle user. A transparent cover material is attached to the back structure. The vehicle interior system includes a collapsible energy-absorbing support for attaching the back structure to a frame of the vehicle. The collapsible energy-absorbing support is configured to dissipate kinetic energy via plastic deformation. In particular embodiments, the collapsible energy-absorbing support comprises a hollow tube or a formed rectangular plate.

A vehicle display device includes a display unit, a surrounding member, and a cover member. The surrounding member is disposed to surround a periphery of the display unit and has an opening at an end on a viewing side. The cover member is disposed on a display surface of the display unit on the viewing side and covers the opening of the surrounding member. The surrounding member does not cover a surface of the cover member on the viewing side in a direction normal to the surface of the cover member. The surrounding member includes an upper surrounding portion located above the display unit. An upper viewing side end of the upper surrounding portion projects from the surface of the cover member in the direction normal to the surface of the cover member by a length of 0.1 mm or more and 2.0 mm or less relative to the surface of the cover member.

A head-up display device includes a casing provided inside an instrument panel and provided with a concave mirror configured to project image information emitted from a light source onto a front windshield glass. In the head-up display device, a retraction portion is provided on a lower side of the concave mirror in a vehicle up-down direction and configured to allow the concave mirror to move downward in the vehicle up-down direction when an impact load is input to the concave mirror from an upper side in the vehicle up-down direction.

Disclosed is a glass article for a vehicle interior system. The glass article includes a glass sheet, a support member, and a mounting element. The glass sheet and the mounting element are disposed on opposite sides of the support member. The support member has a first Young’s modulus (E.sub.1) in GPa and a first yield strength (Y.sub.1) in MPa in which E.sub.1 ≥ 471.288*exp(-0.0294*Y.sub.1)+10 for a first yield strength (Y.sub.1) from 39 MPa to 520 MPa and in which E.sub.1 < 1.941e5*exp(-0.0336*Y.sub.1)+48 for a first yield strength (Y.sub.1) from 223 MPa to 520. Further, the mounting element has a second Young’s modulus (E.sub.2) in GPa and a second yield strength (Y.sub.2) in MPa in which E.sub.2 > 605.1203*exp(-0.0303*.sup.y.sub.2)+3.9 for a second yield strength (Y.sub.2) from 10 MPa to 950 MPa and in which E.sub.2 ≤ 765.0928*.sub.exp(-0.0094.sub.*Y2)+85 for a second yield strength (Y.sub.2) from 78 MPa to 950 MPa.

An assembly includes an instrument panel and a base rotatably mounted to the instrument panel between a front position and a stowed position. An interior component is supported by the base. A spring biases the base toward the stowed position.
