Systems and methods for improving the brightness of a transparent display are disclosed herein. One embodiment collects ambient light using an array of Fresnel lenses disposed on an external surface of a vehicle; collects internal light from the vehicle's headlights; filters the ambient light and the internal light to produce filtered ambient light and filtered internal light; generates primary-source light using a light-emitting-diode (LED) light source; and injects, into a transparent edge-lit liquid crystal waveguide display deployed in at least a portion of a window of the vehicle, the primary-source light, the filtered ambient light, and the filtered internal light in a color-synchronized manner. The filtered ambient light and the filtered internal light improve the brightness of the transparent edge-lit liquid crystal waveguide display.

A flexible display device for a vehicle includes a casing having an opening, a display part to be retracted or extended into or out of the casing through the opening, a display driver configured to move the display part, and a display winder configured to wind the display part based on movement of the display part.

A display device includes a transparent organic EL element, and a base material that is arranged facing the transparent organic EL element and reflects incident light. A reflective surface of the base material is formed as a decorative surface. Decorative designs formed on the decorative surface are presented at a lower position than information subject to light-emitting display via the transparent organic EL element.

A vehicle instrument cluster including a monochromatic display having a matrix of pixels which can be independently controlled by a control unit to inhibit or to allow the passage of light. The instrument cluster has a back-lighting device that emits at least a monochromatic light beam toward a rear surface of the display and through a filter, which is light-permeable and is provided with a coloured graphic representation whose contours have a resolution higher than the one of the display.

It is aimed to provide a system for alerting a driver of a driver cabin of a motor vehicle, said system comprising: a plurality of light sources arranged in array to project a signal light against the windshield and/or side window, provided in the driver cabin along a horizontal contour of windshield and side windows, outside a line of sight of the driver, and arranged to show a mirror image of the light source in the windshield or side window, visible to the driver; a tracking controller, arranged to identify one or more objects to be tracked in the perimeter of the motor vehicle; a control system, coupled to the tracking controller for activating a number of light sources of the plurality of light sources, arranged to project a signal light indicative of said tracked object substantially centered along a virtual line of sight from the driver towards the identified object.

A vehicle integrated controller includes: a board; an integrated pattern part positioned on the board; a touch integrated circuit (IC) part connected to the integrated pattern part to detect a change in a charge amount of the integrated pattern part; and a controller connected to the touch IC part and outputting an operation signal of a function corresponding to the change in a charge amount. A plurality of function patterns are arranged separately in the integrated pattern part. Each function pattern is configured to operate a plurality of different functions of a vehicle. The vehicle integrated controller may integrate switches having different functions with each other to display and implement the functions and may have a smaller overall size and a minimum number of touch input errors.

Embodiments are disclosed for display configurations for providing an augmented reality heads up display. In one example, a mirrorless heads up display device includes a display, at least one micro lens array, an optical element comprising a lenticular lens or parallax barrier positioned between the display and the at least one micro lens array, and a display controller comprising a processor and memory storing instructions executable by the processor to control the display to output image light that passes through the lenticular lens or parallax barrier and the at least one micro lens array and impinges on a transparent plane to form a three-dimensional image.

A decoration plate including a light guide substrate, a decorative film, and a circuit board assembly is provided. The light guide substrate has a first surface and a second surface disposed on opposite sides, and has a first groove on the first surface. The decorative film is disposed on the second surface of the light guide substrate. The decorative film defines an operating region. The circuit board assembly is disposed on the first surface. The circuit board assembly includes a light-emitting element and a touch sensing layer. The light-emitting element is accommodated in the first groove. A position of the touch sensing layer corresponds to a position of an orthogonal projection of the operating region on the first surface.

A display unit includes a layer with a plurality of sub-regions which are arranged adjacently to one another along an illuminated edge of the layer. A corresponding number of symbols are arranged in the sub-regions. The display unit additionally has a plurality of light sources. The said light sources are arranged adjacently to one another along the illuminated edge of the layer. Each light source is configured to emit light into the respective sub-region of the layer via the illuminated edge of the layer. The display unit additionally has a limiting element which is arranged between the illuminated edge of the layer and the light sources and which is configured to limit the light emitted from the light sources for each sub-region such that the symbol in the respective sub-region is illuminated in a selective manner by the light sources.

Aspects of the disclosure include a light feeding system for a display that uses micro light-emitting diodes (LEDs) laminated into glass for light guide applications. An exemplary display can include a light feeding system having one or more micro LEDs on a surface of a backplane. An optical bonding collimator is positioned over and in direct contact with a surface of the micro LEDs. The optical bonding collimator is on the surface of the backplane. A light guide is coupled to an end of the optical bonding collimator such that the optical bonding collimator is between the light guide and the backplane. One or more inner reinforcing layers are in direct contact with the light feeding system and one or more outer layers are in direct contact with the inner reinforcing layers. The light feeding system is laminated with the inner reinforcing layers and the outer layers.
