A head-up display (HUD) apparatus for a vehicle may include: a case; a hinge mounted on the case and rotated; a holder rotatably mounted on the hinge, having a combiner installed thereon, and rotating the combiner to an open state when an external force is removed; a latch mounted on the hinge, and interlocked and rotated with the hinge; a push locking part mounted on the case, and locking or unlocking the latch according to the number of times that the latch is pressed and inserted; and a tilting part mounted on the hinge so as to move vertically, and adjusting an open angle of the combiner by restricting movement of the latch.

Disclosed herein are structures and methods for assembling said structures to provide a glass-based and flush implementation of a display structure for a vehicle-based context. Employing the aspects disclosed herein, an implementer is provided a structure capable of passing head-impact tests, while prevent stray shard creation and providing an aesthetically superior design to convention implementation.

The display device (12) for a vehicle is provided with a display (18) having a display surface (20) on a front side and having a rear side facing away from the latter and a cover screen (14) arranged in front of the display surface (20). Furthermore, the display device (12) has a decorative frame (16) which is connected to the edge of the cover screen (14) and protrudes on all sides over the edge of the display (18), and a rear-side housing shell (17) which has a rear wall (36) with an edge web (38) rising from the latter. The rear wall (36) of the housing shell (17) is arranged at a distance from the rear side of the display (18), wherein the edge web (38) of the housing shell (17) is connected to the decorative frame (16) by means of an adhesive.

The present disclosure relates to a vehicle instrument panel, including: a plurality of displays; a cover glass covering the plurality of displays; and a first frame of a metal material that supports the plurality of displays by being press-fitted to the cover glass with the plurality of displays interposed therebetween.

There is provided a switch installed in a vehicle. The switch includes a cover made of a transparent material, a plate disposed below the cover in an inner side of the cover, and a film combined to the plate, the film having a printed pattern printed thereon. The pattern printed on the film is enlarged by refraction of a light from the pattern while the light passing through the cover, and then is visible enlarged to eyes of a user.

The disclosure relates to a combination indicating instrument, and has as its object to devise a hybrid combination display instrument for displaying information in a motor vehicle in a manner so as to provide a homogeneous and smooth transition between an analog display region and a digital display region within the hybrid combination display instrument. Also included for guiding the light generated by the light source, is a light guiding device, which has a first surface facing away from the viewer (viewing individual), and a second surface facing toward the viewer.

Embodiments of a vehicle interior system are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the system includes a base with a curved surface, and a display or touch panel disposed on the curved surface. The display includes a cold-bent glass substrate with a thickness of 1.5 mm or less and a first radius of curvature of 20 mm or greater, and a display module and/or touch panel attached to the glass substrate having a second radius of curvature that is within 10% of the first radius of curvature. Methods for forming such systems are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to a vehicle-mounted display device disposed in an interior member of a vehicle. The vehicle-mounted display device of the invention includes: a display panel; a cover glass covering the display panel; a housing accommodating the display panel; and a holding portion holding a position of the housing, in which the cover glass is a tempered glass having a thickness being 0.5 to 2.5 mm, a thickness of a compressive stress layer being 10 m or more, and a surface compressive stress of a compressive layer being 650 MPa or higher, and when the thickness (unit: mm) of the cover glass is represented by x and an energy absorption rate (unit: %) of the holding portion is represented by y. Expression (1) is satisfied, and impact resistance of the cover glass is excellent:
y37.1ln(x)+53.7(1).

A vehicle user interface apparatus for a vehicle including a light emitting unit configured to emit light; a touch sensor configured to sense a touch; a processor configured to control the light emitting unit to emit the light in response to an event, activate the touch sensor when the light is emitted, and provide a signal to control a vehicle device corresponding to a touch input received through the activated touch sensor; and a cover covering the light emitting unit, the touch sensor, and the processor, the cover configured to transmit the light into a passenger compartment with a specific shape when the light is emitted.

Embodiments of an article comprising a cold-formed glass substrate in a curved shape, a plurality of separate mechanical retainers, and a frame are disclosed. The cold-formed glass substrate has a first major surface, and a second major surface opposing the first major surface. In one more embodiments, the plurality of separate mechanical retainers are attached to the second major surface of the cold-formed glass substrate. The mechanical retainers may be attached to the frame to define a position for each of the plurality of mechanical retainers, such that the mechanical retainers define the curved shape. Embodiments of processes to form such articles are also provided. Such processes can include attaching a plurality of separate mechanical retainers to a flexible glass substrate such that the glass substrate maintains its flexibility, and attaching the mechanical retainers to a frame, such that the mechanical retainers attached to the frame define a cold-formed curved shape for the flexible glass substrate.
