An in-vehicle display device capable of reducing an impact applied to a vehicle body from a lateral direction is provided. The display device includes a rear bezel fixed to the vehicle body, a front bezel attached to the rear bezel, a frame including an outer edge portion attached to the front bezel, a display panel including an outer peripheral edge fixed to an inner peripheral edge of the frame, and a frame extension portion extending from the frame and disposed at least close to a side portion of the front bezel. The display panel is supported so as to be movable together with the frame with respect to the rear bezel by the frame extension portion being pressed by the side portion deformed due to an impact applied from a lateral side of the vehicle body.

The extendable and retractable display device is provided with a flexible display foil which is stiffened by a flexible display foil carrier. The display foil and the display foil carrier can be moved into a housing and back out of this housing by being bent. This is implemented by means of at least one actuator, the lower end of which is supported in the housing and the upper end of which is connected to the upper end of the display foil carrier. The housing comprises a guiding means for deflecting the display foil and the display foil carrier when retracting and extending the display.

A method for producing a shaped part that includes: a decorative layer having a front/visible side and a rear/opposite side. The decorative layer has a recess extending into the decorative layer from the rear side. The shaped part includes an illumination and/or display unit with one or more illumination/display elements for displaying a notification on the front side, where the illumination and/or display unit comprises a base body made of a light-conducting material, the illumination and/or display elements are embedded in the base body, the base body is arranged at least partially in the recess in the decorative layer, the display elements are embedded in the base body, and the base body is arranged in the recess. Thus, light emanating from the illumination and/or display element(s) can be guided via the base body, towards the front side, and through the recess.

An airbag retainer for attaching the airbag main body and a tray disposed below the airbag retainer are attached to the panel main body of the instrument panel of the vehicle. The upper tray is attached to the panel main body by clips. The airbag retainer is formed with an opening portion through which the clip can be viewed.

A display device for a vehicle having a screen defining a display area, an intermediate layer that includes an inner face facing the screen and an outer face, and a decorative layer that includes a first face and a second face, the first face being arranged on at least part of one of the inner face and the outer face of the intermediate layer. The display device has a plurality of apertures extending at least between the second face of the decorative layer and the first face of the decorative layer, the plurality of apertures extending at least opposite the display area.

Techniques for providing a display inside a vehicle are presented. The techniques can include: providing an electrophoretic surface integrated into an internal component of the vehicle, where the electrophoretic surface is flame resistant, and where the electrophoretic surface is configured to display an image within the vehicle; and controlling the electrophoretic surface using an electronic controller communicatively coupled to the electrophoretic surface.

The present invention relates to a glass article (10) that includes cover glass (12) and a frame (14) that is bonded to a principal surface (12B) side of the cover glass (12) via an adhesive layer (16). The cover glass is provided with a curved part that protrudes toward principal surface (12B). The adhesive layer (16) includes at least one of a first adhesive layer and a second adhesive layer. The thickness, Young's modulus, and perimeter of the cover glass, the radius of curvature of the curved part, and the area of the adhesive layer have a specific relationship.

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.

Generally described, one or more aspects of the present disclosure relate to the configuration and management of one or more components to facilitate dual axis rotation. More specifically, one or more aspects of the present application relate to the configuration or management of a rotation mechanism to facilitate the dual axis rotation of a display device. Illustratively, the display device is mounted on rotation mechanism that facilitates a dual axis rotation utilizing a single actuator, dual rotation joints, and associated linkages. The rotation component further includes at least one additional floating joint that provides additional tension forces relative to a third axis. Still further, in accordance with further embodiments, a control component can be utilized to generate control signals relating to rotation of the single actuators, such as establishing control positions and duty cycles.
