A system includes a display panel with several pixels. A pixel includes a first, a second, and a third set of light emitting diodes (LED). Each LED in the first set outputs a first color light, each LED in the second set outputs second color light, and each LED in the third set outputs a third color light. The pixel emits a display light of a color that is a combination of the first, second, and third colors. In response to a driver inputting a first electric current to the first set of LEDs, a second electric current to the second set, and a third electric current to the third set, the display light from the pixel is of a predetermined target color, the first, the second, and the third electric current being substantially same and within a predetermined tolerance of each other.

20230019956 · 2023-01-19 ·

A picture generation unit comprises a light emitter array that is disposed on a substrate and provides a projection imaging light. The light emitter array includes a plurality of light emitting units. Each of the light emitting units includes a plurality of mini LED chips. An electronic control unit is electrically coupled to the substrate to control the mini LED chips to generate the projection imaging light. The light emitter array may emit light as well as present controllable images simultaneously. Because the picture generation unit abandons using the conventional backlight source and the module thereof, it can effectively utilize light energy and reduce radiation heat/waste heat. A vehicular head-up display system using the picture generation unit may improve operation reliability thereof.

Pointer for illuminating bar graph gauges

A pointer for a gauge or an instrument cluster assembly is provided. The pointer is formed of a light conducting material. In one form, indicia are disposed about the axis of rotation and/or on a surface, the plurality of indicia configured to be selectively illuminated by the pointer. A second end of the pointer may be configured to be selectively rotated adjacent to each indicium of the plurality of indicia and to illuminate the indicia when the light guide pointer is disposed adjacent to the indicia. The second end may be wider than a first end of the pointer. In some variations, the pointer may have a fan shape, and the indicia may be configured as tick marks defining a bar graph. In some forms, opaque material may be disposed on the pointer, the opaque material defining a plurality of indicia on the pointer.
