A driving assistance device according to an embodiment includes: a target setting unit configured to set a stop target; an acquisition unit configured to acquire a position of a vehicle; and an output information control unit configured to control a display unit to display a first image that instructs a driver to stop the vehicle in a first form when the vehicle is located within a region including the stop target and display the first image in a second form different from the first form when the vehicle is located outside the region.

Laminated glass for a vehicle includes a vehicle-interior side glass plate, a vehicle-exterior side glass plate, an interlayer film that bonds the vehicle-interior side glass plate and the vehicle-exterior side glass plate, and a structure sealed in the interlayer film. The interlayer film includes a first interlayer film bonded to the vehicle-interior side glass plate, a second interlayer film bonded to the vehicle-exterior side glass plate, and a third interlayer film located between the first interlayer film and the second interlayer film to enclose an outer periphery of the structure. Where a film thickness of the first interlayer film or the second interlayer film, whichever is thinner, is denoted as ti, and a thickness of the structure is denoted as ts, ti/ts≥0.4 is satisfied. Where a flexural modulus of the structure is denoted as E.sub.1 [MPa], a relationship between ts and E.sub.1 satisfies E.sub.1×ts.sup.3≥500.

A lighting device is provided for controlling the photometric distribution of light emitted by two or more LEDs. The lighting device may be integrated with a control system of the vehicle and may be controlled by a remote controller. The lighting device may be capable of being operated in one or more modes of operation based on operating conditions, user input, or both. Operating conditions may include vehicle conditions, environmental conditions, and user conditions. The controller may operate a software application to enable the user to modify, control, or otherwise regulate any mode of operation or other feature of the lighting system.

An interactive system for a vehicle using a display unit integrated on the windshield. The system receives user inputs and control the display unit based on the user input is disclosed. The system includes a display unit, which is present on the windshield of the rear window glazing, side window glazing or roof glazing of a vehicle. The display unit is composed of one or more illumination devices sandwiched between a first substrate and a second substrate of the glass assembly. The display unit is configured to display patterns, emoticons with varying intensity of illumination, frequency and color. The system further includes a sensor unit with a plurality of sensors that monitors condition and status of the vehicle. The processing unit is configured to control the display unit based on user actions and data received from the data retrieving unit.

A HUD includes a plate that connects an emission-surface of the LCD and a heat sink, is formed of a material having a higher thermal conductivity than air, and is provided with an emission-surface exhaust heat path that is formed to: include a holding region fixed to a periphery of the emission-surface directly or via a material having a higher thermal conductivity than air, and an intermediate region connecting the holding region and the heat sink; connect an end portion, which is opposite to the holding region, of the intermediate region with the heat sink directly or via a material having a higher thermal conductivity than air; extend from the emission-surface to the heat sink via the plate; and have a thermal gradient greater than that of a heat transfer path for transferring heat from the emission-surface to the heat sink by using air as a medium.

An optoelectronic device comprises a layer stack, which includes a carrier layer, a cover layer, and a first layer. The first layer is in particular an intermediate layer, arranged between the cover layer and the carrier layer. At least one electronic or optoelectronic element, in particular an optoelectronic light source, is arranged on the first layer and at least one layer of the layer stack and preferably all layers of the layer stack are at least partially transparent. The layer stack comprises at least one layer which comprises particles with a high thermal conductivity and/or at least one thermally conductive layer which is arranged between two adjacent layers of the layer stack.

A trim element having an outer surface that is at least partially translucent, the outer surface defining a main display surface and a peripheral display surface, the peripheral display surface extending around at least a portion of the main display surface, a screen of a display device extending opposite the main display surface. The trim member includes an illumination device having a luminous sheet extending opposite the main display surface and the peripheral display surface so as to emit at least a first luminous signal onto the screen and at least a second luminous signal illuminating at least a portion of the peripheral display surface when the luminous sheet is activated.

A vehicle interior component is disclosed. The component provides a user interface with a display/image when illuminated. The component comprises a composite structure with a cover material providing a light-transmissive effect and a surface providing a surface effect (grain/wood texture) visible when the display is off. The image is presented at the cover surface when the display is on. The cover may comprise a wood veneer with backing (paper, fiber material, etc.). The composite structure may comprise a mask layer and a lens, filter, colorant, etc. The user interface may include a sensor. The light source may comprise a display panel, LED/array, module, etc. The image is visible at the user interface when display functionality is in operation; when display functionality is not in operation the surface effect of the cover (e.g. wood texture) is visible with substantially no indication of display functionality.

A display device includes: a substrate including a display area for displaying an image and a peripheral area positioned adjacent to the display area; a plurality of normal pixels disposed within the display area on the substrate, where each normal pixel includes a first transmissive area and a pixel area disposed adjacent the first transmissive area; and a dummy pixel disposed within the display area on the substrate, adjacent to a curved section of the peripheral area, and disposed between the peripheral area and the plurality of pixels. The dummy pixel includes: a second transmissive area; and a wire area disposed adjacent the second transmissive area.
