A vehicle display apparatus includes an HUD that projects a display image formed at a first conjugate position to a projection member so as to place the display image as a virtual image at a second conjugate position. The first conjugate position is conjugate to a viewing region inside a vehicle through the projection member, and the second conjugate position is conjugate with an external sensor through the projection member. An HCU increases display luminance of a selected image selected from the display image to a fail-safe luminance by controlling a virtual image display state of the display image when a fail condition is met. The fail condition is that the current brightness detected by the external sensor exceeds an upper limit of an allowable range.

A system and method for adjusting the display of light-based content of a display system includes a display unit. The display unit includes a first layer cooperating with a backlight, a second layer disposed proximate the first layer and a third layer disposed proximate the second layer. At least one microcontroller in communication with the display unit includes a first processing unit configured to receive a dimming level value and a second processing unit. The second processing unit evaluates the dimming level value against a threshold value and adjusts one or more properties of the display unit in response to the measured values.

Superimposed-image display devices and programs superimpose an image on a surrounding environment in front of a vehicle so that the image can be visually identified. The image includes at least one of a first guidance image that prompts a driver to change driving operation and a second guidance image that does not prompt a driver to change driving operation. The second guidance image is displayed in a display mode in which the second guidance image more harmonizes in at least one of a location, brightness, and color with the surrounding environment than the first guidance image, the surrounding environment being a superimposition target.

A display system in a vehicle, including: one or more displays; at least one sensor determining a user's line of sight; a controller determining an active zone and a non-active zone of the one or more displays based on the user's line of sight. The one or more displays are configured to operate the active zone at an enhanced level as compared to the non-active zone. There is further provided a controller configured to rank content displayed on one or more displays in a vehicle according to an attention score determined by at least one sensor configured to measure gaze of a user based on the user's line of sight; and a display system including the controller. One of the displays is selected to display the highest ranked content. There is also provided a method of operating one or more displays in a vehicle using the disclosed display systems.

Disclosed is a touch display device and a manufacture method thereof. The touch display device includes a display panel and a touch module stacked together. The touch module includes a first electrode layer, a light absorbing layer and a second electrode layer sequentially stacked on a surface of the display panel. The first electrode layer includes a plurality of first touch electrodes arranged at intervals in a first direction; the light absorbing layer includes a plurality of first sub-light absorbing layers arranged at intervals in the first direction; at least one of the plurality of first sub-light absorbing layers corresponds to at least one of the plurality of first touch electrodes and is on a side of a corresponding first touch electrode facing away from the display panel; and the second electrode layer includes a plurality of second touch electrodes arranged at intervals in a second direction; the first direction intersects the second direction.

A vehicular infotainment apparatus may include: a display unit configured to display information on a screen; a projection unit disposed proximate to the screen of the display unit, the projection unit being rotatable, movable, and configured to project the information displayed on the screen of the display unit; a driver configured to rotate and move the projection unit; and a controller configured to control operation of the display unit and the driver and to receive a request for rotation of the projection unit. The controller may be further configured to control the driver such that the driver causes the projection unit to rotate or move at a rotation angle corresponding to the request for rotation of the projection unit and to control the display unit such that the display unit modifies the information displayed on the screen of the display unit according to the rotation angle.

An attenuation portion is to illuminate first and second display objects while attenuating light. A display element causes light to enter the attenuation portion to illuminate the first display object in a display region. A light source irradiates light to illuminate the second display object in the display region. A display forming member has a light-blocking layer and an attenuation layer. The light-blocking layer has a light-transmitting portion defining a shape of the second display object. The attenuation layer covers the light-blocking layer from a display region side to attenuate light, which is from the light source and passes through the light-transmitting portion. The display forming member indicates the second display object in the display region with emission of light which is attenuated through the attenuation layer and enters the attenuation portion.

A camera system is provided. The camera system includes an image sensor, at least one light source, and a processing unit. The image sensor is configured to capture a plurality of images. The processing unit is configured to perform the following instructions. A plurality of reflection values on at least one subject in the captured images is acquired. A relationship between a luminance level of the light sources and a reflection level on the at least one subject is obtained. A luminance configuration is determined according to the relationship between the luminance level of the light sources and the reflection level on the at least one subject. A luminous power of at least one of the light sources is adjusted according to the luminance configuration.

A lighting device for illuminating the vehicle interior of a motor vehicle is provided. The motor vehicle includes a plurality of light sources for illuminating the vehicle interior and a control device that can be used to actuate the plurality of light sources independently of one another. The motor vehicle further has an operator control device connected to the control device and includes segments and operator control elements that can be used to actuate the light sources independently of one another by a user. A display unit displays at least a partial image of the vehicle interior that can be illuminated or is illuminated by the controllable light sources.

An assembly and method for updating a display assembly of a control panel is disclosed with optimal uniform illumination. In some instances, embodiments include efficient and cost effective methods for upgrading display assemblies without having to completely overhaul the electrical, mechanical, or wiring components already existing within the control panel.
