It at least one embodiment, the secure storage device is configured to act as a sun visor for a vehicle for securely storing a weapon such as a firearm.

A shading device comprises: a shading member formed using a dimming glass plate capable of changing light transmittance, the shading member having a plate shape; a display apparatus being capable of transmitting light and disposed on a surface of the shading member, the surface being to face an operator during use of the shading member, in such a manner that a display portion faces the operator; an image pickup device to pick up, as an image, a region which an opposite surface of the surface faces, and generate image pickup data; a data processing circuit to generate display image data to be displayed on the display portion during use of the shading member, based on the image pickup data generated by the image pickup device; and a switch to change light transmittance of the dimming glass plate.

A shading device comprises: a shading member; a display apparatus disposed on a surface of the shading member in such a manner that a display portion faces to an operator; an image pickup device to pick up, as an image, a region which an opposite surface of the surface faces, and generate image pickup data; and a data processing circuit to generate display image data, based on the image pickup data. An image display module comprises: a display apparatus to be disposed on a surface of a shading device in such a manner that a display portion faces an operator; an image pickup device to pick up, as an image, a region to which an opposite surface of the surface faces, and generate image pickup data; and a data processing circuit to generate display image data, based on the image pickup data.

An automotive audio visual system includes a display screen on the vehicle, such as the central display screen on the vehicle's dashboard, and one or more rear cameras facing a rear passenger seat of the vehicle. The image or video feed from one or more rear cameras is displayed on the display screen in the vehicle, so that the front passengers can view the rear passenger area on the vehicle's display screen.

A method for operating a motor vehicle, in which a control device of the motor vehicle receives a control input conducted by a vehicle occupant. By means of a sensor device of the motor vehicle, it is checked whether at least one predetermined criterion is met. When the at least one predetermined criterion is met and when the control input is received, the control device brings about a movement of at least one sun visor of the motor vehicle from a stowed position into a functional position, in which the at least one sun visor is flipped down. Furthermore, the invention relates to a motor vehicle.

An automobile visor organizer is taught which includes an area for storing a mobile device, an identification card, and a document. The mobile device storage area includes means for removably affixing a mobile device thereto. The invention includes a hook for removably holding an identification card, and a document aperture for storing a document therein. The invention includes a document guide on its backside for supporting the inserted document. The invention also includes a wireless charging pad with the mobile device storage area.

A document storage device for staging documents for presentation to a law enforcement officer includes a first panel and a plurality of second panels. A first coupler is coupled to a back of the first panel and is configured to selectively and removably couple the first panel to a surface of a vehicle, such as a visor and a window edge. Each second panel has opposing edges and a bottom edge that are coupled to a front of the first panel to define a plurality of pouches. A top of each pouch is configured to insert a respective document, such as a driver's license, proof-of-insurance, vehicle registration, and other permits, into the pouch. The pouch is readily repositioned from the visor of the vehicle to an edge of the driver's window in event the driver is pulled over by the law enforcement officer.
