DISPLAY DEVICE THAT CAN BE MOUNTED ON VEHICLE
A plate has a first region and a second region. A display unit is provided on a front surface of the plate and mounted in the first region of the plate. A housing provided on a rear surface of the plate and mounted in the second region of the plate, wherein the housing is also adapted to be mounted on a vehicle, and a rigidity of the first region of the plate is higher than a rigidity of the second region of the plate.
DISPLAY PANEL AND VEHICLE INCLUDING THE DISPLAY PANEL
A display panel includes: a substrate; a display element layer including a first organic light-emitting diode having a first emission area, a second organic light-emitting diode having a second emission area, and a third organic light-emitting diode having a third emission area, the first emission area having a long side extending in a first direction and a short side extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction; an encapsulation layer disposed on the display element layer; and a plurality of first light-blocking lines disposed on the encapsulation layer and extending in the first direction, the plurality of first light-blocking lines overlapping the first emission area, the second emission area, and the third emission area.
VEHICULAR CAMERA WITH THERMAL COMPENSATING MEANS
A vehicular camera includes a camera housing having a first portion and a second portion joined to the first portion. The first portion of the camera housing accommodates a lens and has an attaching portion having a first coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). A circuit board includes circuitry disposed at a circuit board substrate that has a second CTE that is different from the first CTE. The circuitry includes an imager. The circuit board substrate is attached at the attaching portion of the first portion of the camera housing. When the vehicular camera is operated at an operating temperature greater than 50 degrees C., the attaching portion expands a greater degree than the circuit board substrate. When the vehicular camera is operated at an operating temperature below −20 degrees C., the attaching portion contracts a greater degree than the circuit board substrate
DISPLAY DEVICE AND DRIVING SUPPORT SYSTEM
A display device or a driving support system which enables a driver to obtain information easily is provided. A display device or a driving support system which is unlikely to impose a burden on a driver is provided. A display device or a driving support system which is suitable for space saving is provided. A display device or a driving support system which is capable of large-area display is provided. A display device or a driving support system which does not impair the aesthetic appearance of the car interior is provided.
The display device includes a display panel which has flexibility and can be transformed between a first form and a second form, and a driving means having a function of reversibly changing the display panel between the first form and the second form. The first form is a form in which a display surface of the display panel is suspended, and the second form is a form in which the display panel is stored upward.
Vehicle with a display device
A display panel with a pixel matrix has control circuitry designed to actuate at least one pixel element of the pixel matrix for displaying at least one graphic display object. The display panel is flexible and is movably supported by a controllable supporting arrangement. An electronic control unit can adjust a position of the display panel as a function of a position signal between a first position, where the display panel can cover at least one portion of a vehicle roof, and a second position, where the display panel can cover at least one portion of a windscreen.
Moodroof for augmented media experience in a vehicle cabin
In various embodiments, a moodroof media application provides media content into a vehicle cabin. In operation, the moodroof media application determines at least one state associated with the vehicle cabin based on sensor data from at least one sensor. The moodroof media application then receives media content associated with the at least one state. The moodroof media application further causes visual content associated with the media content to be displayed on at least one display surface positioned on a ceiling of the vehicle cabin.
CAMERA-BASED SIDE MIRROR FUNCTION OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
A motor vehicle includes a motor vehicle body having an interior forming a passenger compartment. At least one camera is arranged on the outside of the motor vehicle body for imaging an area to the side and behind of the motor vehicle. In the interior of the motor vehicle, particularly in the region of an instrument panel, a monitor or display is arranged in or on an air outlet. The monitor is connected to the camera for continuously displaying the imaged area to occupants, and in particular a driver, in the passenger compartment.
Vehicle entertainment tablet unit and cradle
A vehicle entertainment system includes a tablet unit and a cradle. The tablet unit includes a display and a touch screen input device disposed on a front surface, a first electrical connection, a first mounting mechanism, and a wireless receiver. The wireless receiver is configured to receive media data from a wireless network and the touch screen input device is configured to receive input from a user. The cradle is disposed in a headrest in a vehicle and includes a second electrical connection and a second mounting mechanism. The tablet unit is electrically connected to the cradle via the first and second electrical connections, and is physically coupled to the cradle via the first and second mounting mechanisms upon mounting the tablet unit to the cradle.
Head-up display support structure for reflection unit
Provided is a head-up display device such that shaking of a display image due to vibration can be mitigated. This head-up display device, which reflects display light output from a display unit with a reflection unit so as to produce an image to be viewed, includes a first supporting part for supporting the reflection unit rotatably about a rotation axis and a first supported part provided at one end of the reflection unit and supported by the first supporting part. The first supported part has a spherical surface formed thereon, and the first supporting part has a sliding surface that is formed therein and is in substantially point contact or line contact with the spherical surface formed on the first supported part. A first elastic member that presses the first supported part and the first supporting part against each other in the rotation axis direction is provided.
Entertainment system mountable in a vehicle and methods for mounting and displaying same
A media system for a vehicle comprises a housing mounted to an overhead portion of the vehicle, and a media unit that is capable of being coupled to the housing, wherein the housing includes a receiving portion that pivots with respect to the housing and receives the media unit in the receiving portion.
