A vehicle dashboard assembly includes a dashboard panel, a display support, a display and a display cover. The dashboard panel has a display receiving space. The display support is coupled to the dashboard panel. The display is removably and reinstallably attached to the display support. The display cover is movably coupled relative to the dashboard panel between a closed position and an open position. The display cover includes a first cover portion for covering a front side of the display and a second cover portion for covering one edge of the display. The first cover portion surrounds a screen of the display while in the closed position to define a display opening for viewing the screen. The first and second cover portions are movable as a unit between the closed and open positions.

Embodiments of a dynamically bendable automotive interior display system are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the system includes a display, a dynamically bendable cover substrate assembly disposed over the display, wherein the cover substrate assembly comprises a cover substrate with a bend axis, and a reversible support attached to at least a portion the cover substrate that dynamically bends the cover substrate along the bend axis in a cycle from a first radius of curvature to a second radius of curvature and from the second radius of curvature to the first radius of curvature. In one or more embodiments, the system includes one or more frames that partially house the display and are attached to the cover substrate.

The present disclosure relates to a crash pad device for a vehicle with a real wood sheet, the crash pad device including a real wood sheet comprising a real wood design portion having a real wood pattern processed thereon, and an edge portion formed at an edge of the design portion, and a lighting portion disposed at a lower side of the real wood sheet and being configured to emit light to an outside through the real wood pattern.

A display device includes a cover, a display, and a polarization reflection layer. The cover transmits visible light. The display displays an image. The polarization reflection layer is disposed between the cover and the display and on a surface of the display. The polarization reflection layer reflects part of light incident through the cover and transmits light of the image displayed by the display.

A head-up display apparatus includes: a display unit, which includes a display cell and a first polarizing plate with a retardation layer arranged on an output side of the display cell, the first polarizing plate with a retardation layer including a polarizer and a first retardation layer in the stated order from the display cell side, and which is configured to output projection light; at least one reflector configured to reflect the projection light; a housing, which has an opening portion, and which is configured to store the display unit and the reflector therein; a cover member configured to cover the opening portion; and a second polarizing plate with a retardation layer, which is arranged on a housing inner side of the cover member, and which includes a polarizer and a second retardation layer in the stated order from the cover member side.

The invention relates to a user interface for a vehicle adapted to present visible information; the user interface comprises a two-dimensional display for displaying information on a display portion, and an optical faceplate comprising a contact surface, a three-dimensional display surface for displaying information, and an optic light guide material provided between the contact surface and the three-dimensional display surface; wherein the two-dimensional display comprises a pixel arrangement and a cover layer covering the pixel arrangement; wherein the contact surface contacts the display to transmit information from the pixel arrangement to the three-dimensional display surface; wherein the faceplate is integrated into the display. The invention also relates to a vehicle.

A powered device may include an engine, a mobility assembly operably coupled to the engine to provide mobility of the powered device responsive at least in part to operation of the engine, a working assembly operably coupled to the engine to perform a working function responsive at least in part to operation of the engine, and a key-operated combination ignition and speed control assembly including switch circuitry configured to control both starting the engine and selection of different selectable positions corresponding to respective different operating speeds for the engine.

A motor vehicle includes a passenger display with a switchable view protection device that is actively switched in predetermined operating states so that display contents shown on the passenger display cannot be seen from the seating area of the driver. The vehicle includes a shading device having an illuminant oriented toward the passenger display and is controlled by a control unit and which, in order to prevent moving residual fragments that can still be detected from the driver’s seat despite a view protection device which is switched to shading, externally illuminates the passenger display.

The invention relates to a display device comprising a display plane, on which one or more planar display regions 10, 11 are arranged, said planar regions 10, 11 being covered by transparent coverings. A single transparent covering 3 covers all the planar display regions 10, 11 of the display device, is formed three-dimensionally on the viewer's side by regions of differing thicknesses and is connected on the side facing away from the viewer to the planar display regions 10, 11 by means of optical bonding. The refractive index of the material of the covering 3 corresponds to the refractive index of the optical-bonding material 8.

Imaging and display system includes: a display; an optical system including a first mirror and a second mirror; a housing; a light-transmissive cover transparent to light and disposed to cover at least part of an opening of the housing; and a driver monitoring camera supported by a supporting body connected outside of the housing. First light emitted from the display passes through the light-transmissive cover via the optical system, and is reflected by a windshield toward a direction of the user. The driver monitoring camera captures an image of a driver shown on the light-transmissive cover by second light from a direction of the driver reflected by the windshield toward a direction of the light-transmissive cover.
