A display system includes an image capture device, a display device, and at least one of a first illuminance sensor and a second illuminance sensor. The image capture device captures an image rearward of the vehicle. The display device is coupled to the image capture device, and receives at least a portion of the rearward image captured by the image capture device. The first illuminance sensor detects brightness around the vehicle, and the second illuminance sensor detects intensity of light emitted onto a front surface of the display device.

A trim element having a display area defined by a display device, and an edge piece that includes a peripheral area extending around at least part of the display area, the peripheral area being at least partly translucent, the display area and the peripheral area forming at least a part of an outer surface of the trim element. The trim element further includes an illumination device arranged to illuminate the display device to display images on the display area. The illumination device has a luminous sheet extending at least facing the display area and the peripheral area of the edge piece.

A lead vehicle braking warning system includes a speed sensor, a detector, a display and an electronic controller. The speed sensor measures current speed of a host vehicle. The detector detects current speed of a lead vehicle relative to the speed of the host vehicle. The display has a braking condition display area configured to display each of a plurality of braking conditions of the lead vehicle for the operator of the host vehicle. The electronic controller is in electronic communication with the speed sensor, the detector and the display. The electronic controller determines whether or not the lead vehicle is currently decelerating and determine which one of a plurality of braking conditions is currently being experienced by the lead vehicle and display information identifying the current one of the plurality of braking conditions of the lead vehicle within the braking condition display area of the display.

A display device includes a housing with an opening; an electro-optic layer that includes a transmissive-reflective layer and configured to vary reflectivity of incident light; a display provided on the electro-optic layer; a control circuit that controls an operation of the display device; and an actuator that switches the electro-optic layer between first and second postures, wherein the control circuit: controls an operation of the display, generates a trimmed image matching a shape of the opening or a shape of the display, outputs the trimmed image to the display, controls the reflectivity of the electro-optic layer when the electro-optic layer is in the second posture, and does not control the reflectivity of the electro-optic layer when the electro-optic layer is in the first posture, and the display is visible to a driver through the electro-optic layer when the control circuit controls the display to display the trimmed image.

A display panel is capable of displaying a meter image that includes a pointer image constituting a pointer and a mark image constituting a mark pointed to by the pointer. A display controller controls a display state of the display panel. The display panel simultaneously displays a plurality of meter images including a first meter image and a second meter image and a background image encircling the plurality of meter images and is capable of switching the first meter image to a third meter image, which is the meter image of a type different from the first meter image, and displaying the third meter image. The display controller changes a display mode of at least one of the second meter image, the third meter image, or the background image when switching the first meter image to the third meter image and displaying the third meter image on the display panel.

Devices, systems and methods for controlling an exterior and dashboard lights of an autonomous vehicle are described. One example of a method for controlling one or more exterior lights includes receiving, from an autonomous driving system (ADS) of the vehicle, an input to control one or more exterior lights that are part of a lighting system of the vehicle, and transmitting, based on the input, a message to a controller area network (CAN) bus of the lighting system, the message being further based on a driver command upon a determination that a driver-initiated message is received. In an example, the lighting system of the vehicle further comprises a plurality of dashboard lights.

According to the present invention, there is provided a display apparatus (D) having a colored light-transmitting base material (10), a black light-transmitting member (56) containing a black colorant, and a light source unit (40), in which the light source unit (40) is disposed such that emission light of a light source is transmitted through the colored light-transmitting base material (10) and the black light-transmitting member (56) in this order, a total light transmittance (T) of a layer obtained by combining a layer of the colored light-transmitting base material (10) and a layer of the black light-transmitting member (56) is 13% or less, and the black light-transmitting member (56) has an L* value of 45 or less. The display apparatus (D) has excellent designability and high luminance.

A brake control system includes a display, a processor, and a light sensor. The processor controls brakes of a towed vehicle. The processor also controls a brightness of the display based on information received from the light sensor. The light sensor may include a light dependent resistor or a photoresistor. The processor selectively sets or adjusts the brightness of the display based on sensed ambient light.

A projection system includes a projection device and a control module. The projection device is configured to project (i) a first image in a first virtual image plane, and (ii) a second image in a second virtual image plane, wherein the second virtual image plane is further from an eyebox than the first virtual image plane. The control module is configured to: determine an ambient light luminance level; determine a first luminance level for the first virtual image plane based on the ambient light luminance level; determine a second luminance level of the second virtual image plane based on the first luminance level of the first virtual image plane; and control the at least one projection device to display (i) the first image in the first virtual image plane having the first luminance level, and (ii) the second image in the second virtual image plane having the second luminance level.
