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.

The invention relates to a method and a device for activating a function subject to authorization in a vehicle comprising a system of digital rear-view mirrors with at least a first touch screen, arranged on the driver's side, and a second touch screen arranged on the front passenger side. Said vehicle comprises members suitable for providing at least one function subject to authorization. Said method comprises the following steps:—detection, by one of said members, of an action by a person that requires the activation of a function subject to authorization;—transmission, from said member to the system of digital rear-view mirrors, of information relating to said detection;—receipt, from said system of digital rear-view mirrors, of the information relating to said detection originating from said member,—display, on one of said touch screens, of a notification comprising said function subject to authorization, and; an interaction zone suitable for receiving either an agreement or a refusal from the driver and/or the front passenger.

A vehicle rearview mirror assembly is provided, including: a casing including a first shell body and a mounting board having an attachment portion with an aperture; a mirror attached to the mounting board and including a light-penetrable patterned portion spatially corresponding to the aperture; a light emitting module mounted to the attachment portion and including a second shell body, a light guide and a light source, the second shell body including an insertion slot therethrough, the light source being inserted through the insertion slot and engaged within the second shell body, and a binding member securing the light emitting module to the second shell body and sealing the insertion slot.

A video acquisition unit acquires a video from an imaging unit provided in a vehicle to capture a scene around the vehicle. A display unit is provided in the vehicle to display the video captured by the imaging unit. A control unit switches, when it is predicted that a passenger of the vehicle will leave the vehicle, a mode of the display system to a mode in which visibility for the passenger is improved.

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 vehicular camera monitoring system a driver-side camera, a driver-side video display screen disposed at a driver-side cabin region of an interior cabin of the vehicle, a passenger-side camera and a passenger-side video display screen disposed at a passenger-side cabin region of the interior cabin of the vehicle. During a parking maneuver or parking-space exit maneuver of the vehicle, the driver-side video display screen displays parking assist images derived from image data captured by the driver-side camera and the passenger-side video display screen displays parking assist images derived from image data captured by the passenger-side camera. Upon completion of the parking-space exit maneuver where the vehicle exits a parking space, the driver-side and passenger-side video display screens automatically operate to display driving assist video images derived from image data captured by the respective side camera, with the displayed driving assist video images being different from the displayed parking assist images.

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 system for securing a motor to a circuit board of a rearview assembly may comprise a display element having an orientation; a motor having at least two motor terminals; a motherboard having a connection header; and a motor connection printed circuit board defining at least two slots and having a body portion and an end portion. Traces may extend from the at least two slots to the end portion of the motor connection printed circuit board. Each of the at least two motor terminals may be inserted into one of the at least two slots defined by the motor connection printed circuit board; and a portion of each of the at least two motor terminals may extend through the slot in which it has been inserted.

Sensor data captured by one or more sensors coupled to a first entity are received by an apparatus. The sensor data comprises a location of the first entity or representation of surroundings of the first entity. Based at least in part on the sensor data, a second entity is identified. Based at least in part on trajectories along which the first and second entities are respectively traveling, it is expected that the second entity will enter a zone defined around the first entity. Based at least in part on the sensor data, an amount of time until the second entity will enter the zone is determined. The amount of time until the second entity will enter the zone is provided as (a) input to a navigation function and/or (b) to be displayed as a countdown via a display element and/or speaker element of the first entity.

According to some embodiments of the disclosure, an AR-content-providing apparatus includes display modules configured to display AR content images on windows of a vehicle, at least one sensing module configured to generate image data obtained by capturing surroundings of the vehicle, and configured to generate distance sensing signals corresponding to distances to objects and people outside the vehicle, and a control module configured to generate AR content corresponding to driving information and surrounding information of the vehicle using the image data and the distance sensing signals, and configured to control the display modules and at least one electronic device to display the AR content.
