Display arrangement for an instrument cluster

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.

Light emitting unit for conveyance
10807523 · 2020-10-20 · ·

It is intended to cause a light emitter to properly emit light for notifying an occupant of a movement direction of an object approaching a conveyance. A vehicle lighting device includes sensors (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) configured to detect an approaching object approaching a vehicle, light emitters (5) attached to the vehicle, and a control device (2) configured to control the light emitter (5) when the sensor (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) has detected the approaching object. The control device (2) controls the light emitter (5) such that a light emitting spot of the light emitter (5) moves along a direction corresponding to a movement direction of the approaching object.

SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING EYE DETECTION AND/OR TRACKING
20200324780 · 2020-10-15 · ·

This disclosure describes, in part, systems and techniques for performing eye tracking. For instance, a system may include a first imaging device that generates first image data. The system may then analyze the first image data to determine a location of a face of a user. Using the location, the system may cause an actuator to move from a first position to a second position in order to direct a second imaging device towards the face of the user. While in the second position, the second imaging device may generate second image data representing at least the face of the user. The system may then analyze the second image data to determine a gaze direction of the user. In some instances, the first imaging device may include a first field of view (FOV) that is greater than a second FOV of the second imaging device.
