A push button illumination structure includes a light emitting base part having transparency, and a button body part configured to be molded as one body with the light emitting base part. The button body part includes: a fixed leg part configured to elastically support the light emitting base part; a push-in column configured to apply pressure to a switch; and a light shielding wall part configured to protrude on a back side of the light emitting base part, and having a frame shape. The light shielding wall part is formed at a position corresponding to an outer shape of the light emitting base part in a plan view. The push button illumination structure is configured to cause light emitted from a light source arranged inside with respect to the light shielding wall part in the plan view to be reflected by an inner surface of the light shielding wall part.

A display device including a cover body with a surface facing an observer and a back face facing away from the observer, the cover body has at least two translucent to transparent cover body components which each form a portion of the surface and a portion of the back face; at least one opaque masking layer on the surface facing the observer and which the portion of the surface of the less light transmissive cover body component delimits a first display area to be backlit and the portion of the surface of the more light transmissive cover body component delimits a second display area to be backlit; a support having a plurality of light sources arranged on the side of the cover body facing away from the observer to backlight the display areas; and a frame integrally bonded to the cover body to secure the cover body on the support.

A decorative sheet includes, from the front side to the back side, a skin layer, an intermediate layer, a design layer, and a soft layer. Recesses open on at least one of a front surface and a back surface of the design layer. The decorative sheet further includes display regions formed by the recesses. The display regions display a predetermined design on a front surface of the skin layer by light irradiated from the back side. Light is irradiated from the back side to the display regions via the soft layer. Light blocking partition parts of the soft layer are each disposed between two adjacent display regions as seen from the front side, and prevent light to be irradiated to one display region from leaking into the other display region via the soft layer.

A user interface for a vehicle includes a base display, a vibrotactile haptic actuator coupled to the base display, and a force sensor coupled to the base display. The user interface also includes an outer layer coupled to the base display. The outer layer is configured to generate surface friction haptic feedback.

The invention relates to a display device (2) for a motor vehicle (1) having a mirror apparatus (13) which has a display element (7) with a semi-transparent mirror surface, and having a drive apparatus (15) by means of which the mirror apparatus (13) can be moved between a storage position and a position of use, wherein the mirror apparatus (13) has a sensor apparatus (22) which is configured to detect, in the position of use of the mirror apparatus (13), a force applied to the display element (7).

The present disclosure relates to an input assembly including: a support, an input part, and at least one light source, wherein the input part has at least one input layer having an input surface intended to be touched by an operator, and a light guide for guiding light of the light source towards the display region for backlighting the latter, and wherein the light guide is disposed on the side of the input part facing away from the input surface, a touch-detection device for detecting a touch on the input surface by the operator and/or an actuation detection device for detecting an actuation of the input part by the operator, and an electromagnetic actuator for exciting a movement of the input part along the direction of movement by means of an electric control signal in order to generate a haptic feedback, wherein the actuator includes an electromagnet.

A device for displaying at least one pictogram inside a vehicle passenger compartment. The device includes a light source suitable for emitting light in response to a control signal, and an opaque covering layer having a through opening defining the pictogram. A photosensitive layer extends facing or in the opening. When the light source is deactivated, the photosensitive layer is opaque and has the same color as the covering layer. When the light source is activated, the photosensitive layer reacts so as to render the pictogram defined by the opening of the covering layer visible for an occupant of the vehicle passenger compartment.

A vision system for a vehicle includes a forward viewing camera that has a field of view through the windshield of the vehicle and is operable to capture image data. An image processor is operable to process image data captured by the forward viewing camera. Responsive at least in part to processing of captured image data, a road characteristic of a road along which the vehicle is traveling is detected. Responsive at least in part to processing of captured image data, other vehicles exterior the equipped vehicle are detected. Responsive at least in part to processing of captured image data, road curvature of the road along which the equipped vehicle is traveling is determined. Responsive at least in part to processing of captured image data, a school bus stopping signal of a school bus present within the field of view of the forward viewing camera may be detected.

An indicator system for outdoor power equipment, such as a riding lawn mower, may include an illuminating element around the perimeter of a display screen. The illuminating element may be configured to illuminate in a predetermined manner based on a predefined condition occurring in order to alert the operator to the display screen. The display screen may be configured to display more detail about the predefined condition while the illuminating element is illuminated.

A collision avoidance and/or pedestrian detection system for a large passenger vehicle such as commuter bus, which includes one or more exterior and/or interior sensing devices positioned strategically around the exterior and interior of the vehicle for recording data, method for avoiding collisions and/or detecting pedestrians, and features/articles of manufacture for improving same, is described herein in various embodiments. The sensing devices may be responsive to one or more situational sensors, and may be connected to one or more interior and/or exterior warning systems configured to alert a driver inside the vehicle and/or a pedestrian outside the vehicle that a collision may be possible and/or imminent based on a path of the vehicle and/or a position of the pedestrian as detected by one or more sensing devices and/or situational sensors.
