An assembly and method for updating a display assembly of a control panel is disclosed with optimal uniform illumination. In some instances, embodiments include efficient and cost effective methods for upgrading display assemblies without having to completely overhaul the electrical, mechanical, or wiring components already existing within the control panel.

The problem addressed by the present invention is to provide a head up display device capable of counteracting sunlight without using a shutter or a reflection type polarizing film. A first concave mirror has a curvature to cause the reflected display light to intersect vertically before reaching a second mirror, and a second concave mirror serves to reflect the received display light. A case is provided with a first shield and a second shield extending near an intersecting point to sandwich a light path between the first and second concave mirrors. The first and second shields can block external light entering into the case from outside the case and proceeding toward the first concave mirror after being reflected from the second concave mirror.

A vehicle trim assembly that includes a trim and a display device having a display screen with a first display zone and a second display zone. The display device is movable relative to the trim between a first stable position, in which the first display zone is visible and the second display zone is hidden by the trim, and a second stable position, in which the first display zone and the second display zone are both visible. The second stable position is offset relative to the first stable position along a first direction perpendicular to the display screen in the first position, in the direction toward which the display screen is facing.

Provided is an input device that can reduce a magnetic attractive force generated between a coil-side yoke and magnets while suppressing the decrease in an operation reaction force that can be generated. The input device includes four coils arranged in a cross shape and a magnet assembly. When a current is applied to windings of the coils, electromagnetic forces are generated between the coils and the magnet assembly. In addition, the input device includes a coil-side yoke that is located opposite to the magnet assembly across the coils. The coil-side yoke is shaped so that magnetic fluxes generated by the magnet assembly are concentrated on winding portions of the windings of the coils, the winding portions being arranged along directions of a cross.

An integrated fastener for an instrument cluster assembly, where multiple integrated fasteners are used to connect the front cover of the assembly to the back cover. The instrument cluster assembly includes at least one fastener integrated into the back cover, a first recessed portion formed as part of the back cover, and a separation wall formed as part of the back cover in proximity to the first recessed portion. A first mounting aperture is formed as part of the separation wall, and the integrated fastener attached to the back cover and located in the first mounting aperture when the integrated fastener is in a first configuration. The integrated fastener is detached from the back cover and rotated such that the integrated fastener is placed in a second configuration, securing the front cover to the back cover.

A lighting device of a vehicle includes at least one lighting device for a road scene in front of the vehicle arranged to form a first light beam defined by a first lighting. A device for generating a second light beam defined by a second lighting is configured to superimpose the second beam on the first light beam. A sum of the first lighting and of the second lighting is greater than the first lighting, the second light beam forms driving assistance information.

To mount a unit in a compartment in a vehicle instrument panel including an opening for inserting the unit, the unit includes two tenons that are compressible in a heightwise direction and can be guided in two fixed parallel longitudinal lateral slideways that include an entry zone and a closed-end zone that is not as tall as the entry zone in which the tenon is compressed vertically. A facade surround is provided around the opening to collaborate in positioning and/or attachment of a face plate of the unit. The lateral slideways include two longitudinally separated parts, a first part secured to the facade surround and a second part not secured to the facade surround and held on a wall of the compartment of the instrument panel to lie substantially in longitudinal continuation of the first part.

The invention relates to a housing for a head-up display of a motor vehicle, which housing has an inner wall that at least partially delimits an internal space for an imaging projection device to project a virtual image in a beam path onto a reflection surface in an internal space of the motor vehicle. The housing is characterized by at least one reflective deflection region of the internal wall to deflect the beam path of the imaging projection device. The deflection region may have a metallized or metallizing layer which is formed via the application of a metallizing, amorphous substance or material onto a surface of a base body of the inner wall, said surface facing toward the internal space. The invention furthermore relates to a corresponding head-up display, a correspondingly embodied motor vehicle, and a method to provide a housing according to the invention.

A motor vehicle has a control device which is arranged in a cockpit module and has a cable harness, which includes at least one data and/or power cable, for connecting the control device to an on-board electrical system of the motor vehicle. The control device has at least one connection for making electrical contact with the cable harness. An improved utilization of the available installation space in the cockpit region and a shortening of the requisite length of the cable harness is obtained by the connection of the control device being arranged on a side of the control device which faces an interior of the motor vehicle.

A display apparatus for a vehicle includes a display part installed at a front surface of a center fascia of the vehicle to display an image, a housing for supporting the display part, and a driving part for moving the housing in a upper side and a lower side direction with respect to the center fascia.
