A windshield (window glass for a vehicle) 10 is a window glass for a vehicle emitting visible light through incident radiation of excitation light that is irradiated from a light source, and an end part 10E of the window glass for a vehicle is capable of emitting light through irradiation with the excitation light. The present invention can provide window glass for a vehicle such as a car that enables a driver to easily check warning display without narrowing the interior space or obstructing the field of view in the vehicle.

A moving body including an external world information acquisition device is autonomously movable based on external world information acquired by the external world information acquisition device. The external world information acquisition device is arranged on an inner side of the moving body than an outer shell member of the moving body, and is formed with an external world information acquisition surface. The outer shell member has an opening portion. The moving body includes a cover member which is provided between the external world information acquisition device and the opening portion. The external world information acquisition surface acquires the external world information via the cover member. The cover member has a flat plate shape, and is arranged to face the external world information acquisition surface, and to be inclined in an upper-lower direction and a left-right direction of the moving body with respect to the external world information acquisition surface.

A device for controlling ambient lighting of a vehicle includes a light element in a vehicle interior, a touch-sensitive display unit, and a control unit. The light element emits light in one of a plurality of colors that can be generated by the light element. The display unit displays a plurality of colors of a predefined color spectrum simultaneously in a color scale, and detects a location of a user input made by touching the display unit. Via the detected location, the user input is assigned to an associated color displayed in the color scale and information about the color assigned to the user input is transmitted to the control unit, which controls the light element for emitting light in the color assigned to the user input. The light element and display unit have the same color space, such that the color associated with the user input, displayed on the display unit are the same.

An on-vehicle equipment operation device includes an air-conditioning duct that has an open end through which air-conditioned air blows, a display that is disposed outside the air conditioner and configured to display an image, an image forming optical element, and at least one equipment operation switch that is disposed at a lower edge of the open end. The image forming optical element is configured to form, as a floating image near the open end of the air-conditioning duct, a real image of the image that is displayed on the display. The floating image includes at least one equipment operation icon. The at least one equipment operation switch corresponds to the at least one equipment operation icon.

A means of transport and a device (10) for outputting a request for a driver of a means of transport to take over vehicle guidance are proposed. The device (10) comprising:

a line-shaped first LED strip (1) with a first electrical connector (5) comprising a first plurality of LEDs (3),
a line-shaped second LED strip (2) with a second electrical connector (6) comprising a second plurality of LEDs (4),
a control device (7) comprising an interface (8) configured to receive the first electrical connector (5) and the second electrical connector (6), wherein
the first plurality of LEDs (3) is arranged interleaved with respect to the second plurality of LEDs (4) and the control device is configured to output the request as light signals by controlling the first electrical connector (5) and the second electrical connector (6).

At least one electronic display has first and second mirrors separated by a distance. The two mirrors are arranged such that they at least partially overlap in a projection view of both mirrors. An intermediate space is formed in the overlap region between the mirrors. The at least one electronic display is part of a display apparatus having at least one light source emitting light into the intermediate space that is reflectable multiple times by the mirrors to generate an infinity mirror effect, resulting in the generation of an image having a light pattern that appears with an optical depth effect in an image plane of the display apparatus.

A light bar mounted on a steering wheel includes a holding member, a substrate, a plurality of visible light sources, a plurality of infrared light sources, and a light guiding element. The holding member includes a radiating opening. The substrate is held by the holding member in such a manner that a gap is formed between a first end in a width direction of the substrate and one of side walls of the holding member. The infrared light sources are mounted and arranged on a front surface of the substrate generally along a length direction of the substrate for emitting infrared light toward the driver. The visible light sources are mounted and arranged on a back surface of the substrate generally along the length direction of the substrate. The light guiding element is configured to deflect visible light emitted from the visible light sources toward the radiating opening.

A display system of a vehicle displays a virtual image. The display system has a projection device, which is configured to emit display light in order to generate an image, and a reflecting device, which is configured for a first reflection of display light of the projection device arranged above the reflecting device by way of the reflecting device attached in or on an instrument panel of the vehicle. The display light of the projection device incident on the reflecting device is substantially retroreflected. The display system further includes a windshield of the vehicle, which windshield is configured for a second reflection of at least part of the display light, which was reflected by the reflecting device, to the eyes of an observer in the vehicle in order to allow the observer to see, behind the windshield, the virtual image of the image generated by the projection device.

An illumination device for a motor vehicle for displaying a linear light including a plurality of optical waveguides, an illuminating element having a plurality of light sources for coupling light into a respective first end face of the plurality of optical waveguides, and an emitting part for generating a linear light distribution, the optical waveguides being arranged with a respective second end face, which is different from the first end face, through the emitting part relative to one another along precisely one line.

A vehicle includes: a seat; a sensor part provided on the seat and detecting whether a user is seated on the seat; a lighting part provided in the vehicle and including a plurality of light sources disposed at a preset interval; and a controller configured to determine a gaze direction of the user based on a result of the detection of the sensor part and to selectively control the plurality of light sources to distort the preset interval based on the determined gaze direction of the user.
