A metallic decorative part for a vehicle display device includes a substrate body molded from a synthetic resin, a metal thin film that is formed of metal and deposited on a surface of the substrate body, and a plurality of grooves deposited on a surface of the metal thin film in accordance with a shape of the surface of the substrate body. The grooves are formed so that a width is larger than 0 and equal to or smaller than 3.0 m, and a height is larger than 0 and equal to or smaller than 1.0 m. Accordingly, the metallic decorative part for a vehicle display device can properly secure a metallic texture recognized by a viewer with a configuration in which the metal thin film is deposited on the surface of the substrate body made of resin.

According to an aspect, a display module includes a display panel that displays an image on a display surface; an optical member; and a housing that supports the display panel and the optical member. The housing includes a first housing, a second housing, and a third housing that is arranged on a side of the second housing opposite to the first housing side. An end of the first housing on a display surface side of the display panel protrudes toward the center of the display surface to face an outer edge of the display surface. An end of the second housing on a side opposite to the display surface side of the display panel protrudes toward the center of the display surface to face an outer edge of a surface opposite to the display surface. The optical member is provided between the second housing and the third housing.

Provided is an information provision apparatus for a vehicle, the apparatus capable of providing information that fits the situation of the vehicle to a user. An information provision apparatus for a vehicle is provided with a vehicle-mounted device which comprises a report means for reporting various kinds of information including vehicle information to a user, and a control means for operating the report means, and is connected to an external device via a connection means. Upon receiving a manipulation input signal indicating that a start switch of the vehicle is turned on, the control means operates the report means in order to report to the user that a communication connection between the vehicle-mounted device and the external device is not established, until the communication connection is established.

Display device intended notably for a motor vehicle and comprising: a display screen (2), a touch-sensitive pad (5) positioned in front of the display screen, a lateral surround (3) positioned over part of the front surface of the display screen, a first opaque mask (4) positioned between the touch-sensitive pad and the lateral surround (3) and extending toward the centre of the front surface of the display screen beyond the lateral surround so as to conceal said lateral surround, a second opaque mask (6) positioned in front of the touch-sensitive pad and concealing a lateral part of the front surface of the touch-sensitive pad which part is positioned in front of the first mask, in which device the first mask extends toward the centre of the front surface of the screen beyond the second mask.

Methods of flocking and various embodiments of head-up displays for a vehicle are contemplated. Some embodiments of a head-up display unit can include a display unit configured to display an image onto an observation surface of a vehicle and trim structure located about a periphery of the display unit. The trim structure can have an exterior surface configured to be exposed to an interior compartment of the vehicle. A substantially uniform and continuous adhesive layer can be located directly on and in contact with an entire extent of the exterior surface. Flocking can be applied by an air gun such that flocking is dispersed directly on and in contact with the adhesive layer and such that no backing layer exists between the flocking and the exterior surface. Some embodiments of the methods of flocking can include spraying an adhesive and spraying flocking onto trim for a head-up display device.

Embodiments of a deadfront article for a display are disclosed herein. The deadfront article includes a cover structure having: an inner surface; an outer surface opposite the inner surface; a glass layer located between the inner surface and the outer surface; and a first layer of light transmitting ink or pigment located between the inner surface of the cover structure and the glass layer. The deadfront article also includes a light guide layer having: an inner surface; and an outer surface facing toward the inner surface of the cover structure. A light extraction layer located on at least one of the inner surface and the outer surface of the light guide layer.

When an overhead console (OHC) bracket is manufactured, since a support may be additionally formed on a portion in which there is concern that an adhesive applied to a surface of a headliner to attach a wiring installed near the OHC bracket will flow down, the adhesive may be applied to the support to attach the wiring without the adhesive flowing down. By adding the support to a front edge portion of the OHC bracket to apply the adhesive to the support without being directly applied to an inclined surface of the headliner for attaching the wiring, it is possible to firmly attach and safely use the wiring at a predetermined position without the adhesive flowing down. Also, by adding and integrally forming a stopper at the edge of the OHC bracket, the wiring can be prevented from being easily detached or misaligned, thereby making attachment work easy.
