A lighted trim apparatus includes a light guide sub-assembly. The light guide sub-assembly includes a translucent film layer having a darkening agent on a first surface of the film layer to define multiple translucent windows in the film layer. Multiple light emitting diodes are each mounted on the film layer proximate to one of the windows. A transparent material light guide is applied over the windows and allows light from the light emitting diodes to be transmitted through the windows. A substrate defining an opaque polymeric material layer is commonly applied over the light emitting diodes, the light guide and the first surface of the film and extends beyond a perimeter of the film layer. A transparent cover layer extends over a second surface of the film layer opposite to the first surface and a portion of the opaque polymeric material extends beyond the perimeter of the film layer.

An instrument cluster, in particular for a vehicle, has a dial with a plurality of graphic areas, which are backlit by a device provided with at least one light source, with a front light-guiding element having a front face at least partially covered by a back surface of the dial, and with a rear light-guiding element; the latter has a receiving portion facing said light source and a transmitting portion, which transmits and guides the light received by the receiving portion and is spaced apart from and faces a rear face of the front light-guiding element; the rear face of the front light-guiding element has an optical compensation system, having curved convex or curved concave lens surfaces, for varying the intensity of the light transmitted from said transmission portion to the different graphic areas.

A meter assembly for a vehicle instrument panel. The meter assembly includes a reflector case having a plurality of light guides extending from an inner surface of the reflector case. Neighboring ones of the plurality of light guides have different lengths and extend different distances from the inner surface of the reflector case.

A steering wheel includes an indicator. The indicator includes a light source that emits light and a light guide. The light guide includes an outer surface and an end opposing the light source. The light emitted from the light source enters the end of the light guide, and some of the light is emitted from the outer surface.

A vehicle control device includes: a display; a steering wheel; and a vehicle button arranged to be overlapped with a fingerprint scanner at one point of the steering wheel. The vehicle control device further includes: a communication unit configured to communicate with a mobile terminal, the display and the vehicle button; and a processor configured to determine a type of a screen to be displayed on the display, according to whether a fingerprint recognized by the fingerprint scanner matches fingerprint information received from the mobile terminal, if the fingerprint scanner recognizes a fingerprint of a finger which has applied a push input to the vehicle button, and the processor configured to control the display such that the determined screen is displayed.

A motor vehicle is disclosed that includes at least one linear lighting means for directly and/or indirectly lighting a vehicle interior. A position-sensing unit senses ego information describing a position and an orientation of the motor vehicle. A control device determines, from location information describing the position of a person, and from the ego information, direction information describing a direction of the person in relation to the motor vehicle (1), selects, in accordance with the direction information, a sub-group of lighting segments that includes at least one lighting segment to be activated, and activates the lighting segment belonging to the sub-group in accordance with a configuration, which specifies the lighting brightness and/or the lighting color of the lighting segment, and which visualizes the position of the person.

A display device includes a beam generator and a holographic optical waveguide. The beam generator includes a display and is configured to generate beams having image information displayed on the display. The holographic optical waveguide is configured to display an image of a second size at a position at a first distance behind the display device based on the beams having the image information, the second size is a multiple of the first size of the display, and the multiple is greater than 1.

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 vehicle display device includes: a housing unit having an opening facing an eye point side of a vehicle; a decorative member disposed inside the housing unit; a display device configured to display an image inside the housing unit, a drive device configured to move the decorative member in a width direction of the housing unit; and an illumination device operated depending on a movement of the decorative member to irradiate the decorative member with light. The illumination device may have a plurality of light sources arranged along the width direction.

The present invention provides a head-up display device wherein a light shielding part for preventing a washout phenomenon is prevented from shining. A head-up display according to the present invention, in which a display unit for emitting display light (L) is housed in a case and the upper portion of the display unit is covered by the light shielding part, has strip-shaped protrusion parts formed on the bottom surface of the light shielding part (42). With this constitution, the strip-shaped protrusion parts prevent the scattered light (SL) resulting from the light (L) output from the display unit from illuminating the bottom surface of the anti-washout light shielding part, thereby preventing the bottom surface from being displayed as a virtual image.
