Provided are a smart surface, a center console of a vehicle, and a vehicle. The smart surface includes a display device (10), a decorative cover plate (20) including a decorative pattern layer (21), a substrate layer (22), an optical adhesive layer (23), and a glass layer (24) stacked sequentially from top to bottom, an upper surface of the glass layer (24) being fitted to the optical adhesive layer (23), and a lower surface of the glass layer (24) being covered on the display device (10), and an AG fluorescent film (30) fitted to the decorative pattern layer (21), and the AG fluorescent film (30) is used for filtering ambient light or light emitted from the decorative pattern layer (21). The smart surface provided by the present application can reduce the obstruction of the image caused by the decorative pattern by providing the AG fluorescent film.

Described herein are deadfront assemblies that are configured to exhibit variable transmission and reflection performance attributes. The deadfront assemblies described herein comprise a first ink layer, an intermediate layer, and a second ink layer. The intermediate layer is disposed between the first and second ink layers and is configured to reflect light that is transmitted through the first ink layer back through the first ink layer so that one or more colors of the ink in the first ink layer is visible in the reflected light. The second ink layer is configured to counteract deviations in optical transmission caused by the first ink layer so that light transmitted through the deadfront assembly is not perceptively altered in color. Overlapping regions of the first and second ink layers comprise inverse appearance attributes so that light output from a light source and transmitted through the deadfront assembly has a desired appearance.

To provide a capacitive input device that enables the user to feel that the input operation has been done. A capacitive input device includes a surface sheet, a soft member, and a sensor sheet configured to detect a change in capacitance. The surface sheet includes an operation area on which a touching operation is to be performed. The soft member is provided between the operation area and the sensor sheet. The sensor sheet includes a sensor electrode located at a position corresponding to the operation area. When the operation area is pressed in a touching operation, the surface sheet and the soft member are displaced toward the sensor sheet and the sensor electrode detects the capacitance.

A vehicle display device comprises: a housing forming an opening to an interior; a display module positioned in the interior of the housing, the display module including a substrate; a cover glass that covers the opening to the interior of the housing, the cover glass at least partially bounded by an exposed glass edge, the cover glass attached to the substrate by an optically clear adhesive, wherein an outermost region of the cover glass extends beyond an edge of the substrate; and a protective film positioned along at least part of the exposed glass edge, the protective film attached to an inside of the cover glass at the outermost region.

A display apparatus may include a display panel, a cover member disposed on a front surface of the display panel, a set frame arranged on a back surface of the cover member and including a fastening member, a core plate arranged on a back surface of the set frame and including a coupling block fastened to the fastening member by a screw pin, and a stress dispersion unit arranged on the fastening member and configured to disperse stress applied to the cover member, the stress being generated in response to the fastening member being fastened to the coupling block by the screw pin. Thus, it is possible to alleviate the phenomenon of cover glass warping or unevenness, by dispersing and mitigating the stress generated during the fastening between the set frame and the core plate.

A motor vehicle includes a passenger display with a switchable view protection device that is actively switched in predetermined operating states so that display contents shown on the passenger display cannot be seen from the seating area of the driver. The vehicle includes a shading device having an illuminant oriented toward the passenger display and is controlled by a control unit and which, in order to prevent moving residual fragments that can still be detected from the driver's seat despite a view protection device which is switched to shading, externally illuminates the passenger display.

To provide a head-up display that can provide light-shielding portions at a plurality of locations while controlling costs. Provided is a head-up display comprising: a display device that displays images; a plane mirror that reflects display light from the display device; a concave mirror that reflects display light via the plane mirror; a cover glass that allows display light to pass through the concave mirror; and a blind cover formed as an integral member, a virtual image being displayed by using the display light projected on an object from the display device via a prescribed optical path through the plane mirror, the concave mirror, and the cover glass, wherein the blind cover is provided with a first light-shielding portion that blocks the display light that deviates from the prescribed light path from the display device to the plane mirror, a second light-shielding portion that suppresses external light passing through the cover glass from entering the inside, and an attachment portion that attaches the plane mirror to the blind cover.

Embodiments of the disclosure relate to a method of assembling a glass article. The glass article includes a display module and a glass sheet. In the method, an electronic ribbon connector is positioned in a vertical position. The electronic ribbon connector has a first end connected to the display module and a second free end. The display module is attached to the glass sheet. Adhesive is applied to the glass sheet around the display module. A frame is arranged over the glass sheet. The frame has a depending edge and a slot positioned adjacent to the depending edge. The frame is moved towards the glass sheet such that the second free end of the electronic ribbon connector extends through the slot and such that the depending edge of the frame contacts the adhesive.

A control panel for a vehicle and having: a digital screen; a pointer, which can be arranged on the digital screen and is mounted in a movable manner so as to move on the digital screen; and an actuator device configured to move the pointer on the digital screen. The pointer is movable so as to be arranged on the digital screen and to be arranged beside the digital screen and without overlap on the digital screen. The actuator device transmits the motion to the pointer through a contactless magnetic coupling.

A control panel for a vehicle and having: a main digital screen having at least one through opening made within it and completely surrounded by the main digital screen; a secondary digital screen, which is arranged behind the main digital screen in the area of the through opening of the main digital screen so that it is visible through the through opening; a pointer, which can be arranged between the main digital screen and the secondary digital screen and is mounted in a movable manner so as to move on the secondary digital screen; and an actuator device configured to move the pointer on the secondary digital screen.
