Provided is an audio-video-navigation (AVN) monitor drive unit for a vehicle, which is configured to tilt an AVN monitor coupled to a crash pad in a direction toward a passenger seat. The AVN monitor drive unit includes a monitor assembly, a hinge bracket slidably positioned at a rear of the monitor assembly, and a tilting portion configured to connect the monitor assembly and the hinge bracket to each other and tilt the monitor assembly from the hinge bracket.

A vehicle monitor apparatus including a mounting portion mounted on a ceiling surface in a vehicle cabin, a monitor portion including a base supported by the mounting portion, a light guide extending along a periphery of the base, and a spacer interposed between the base and the ceiling surface. The spacer is disposed inside a first area surrounded by the light guide and outside a second area in which the mounting portion is disposed, and composed of an elastic body elastically deformed by a compression force from the ceiling surface when the base is mounted on the ceiling surface through the mounting portion.

A vehicle armrest that is provided at a seat transverse direction end portion of a vehicle seat and that extends in a seat front-rear direction, the vehicle armrest including: a front-side supporting portion that is provided at a seat front-side end portion, and that is configured to support a wrist end portion of a forearm of a vehicle occupant; a rear-side supporting portion that is provided at a seat rear-side end portion, and that is configured to support an elbow end portion of the forearm; and a terminal accommodating portion that is provided between the front-side supporting portion and the rear-side supporting portion, a seat upper side of the terminal accommodating portion being open, and the terminal accommodating portion being positioned at a seat lower side of the forearm that is placed on the vehicle armrest, and the terminal accommodating portion being able to accommodate a portable terminal.

A self-driving or autonomous vehicle comprises a seat movable between an upright position and a reclined position and a ceiling display for displaying user interface elements and for receiving user input when the seat is in the reclined position. The ceiling display may be slidable and/or pivotable. The ceiling display may automatically move when the seat is reclined.

A vehicle comprising a viewing system including at least one camera, a monitor and a support, the support comprising a movable support part supporting the monitor and movably mounted on a fixed support part secured to a frame of the vehicle, a biasing system comprising a locking device mounted on the fixed support part and configured to impart a load to the movable support part so as to maintain the movable support part in a position with respect to the fixed support part, and a pneumatic releasing device configured to inject compressed air in the locking device to release the movable support part from the load.

The invention relates to an apparatus for displaying information on a vehicle. The apparatus comprises a display and a plate comprising a controller, a sensor and a communicator configured to communicate with an external server, wherein the controller is configured to control the apparatus such that sensor data from the sensor are sent to the external server and information received from the external server is shown on the display. A casing comprising a front wall includes the display, a back wall configured to be attached to the vehicle, and a frame, wherein the plate is arranged within the casing, wherein the frame comprises profile elements forming sidewalls of the casing and corner elements and wherein a respective corner element is detachably connected to two respective profile elements. This allows for a high adaptability of the apparatus.

A vehicular driver monitoring system includes an interior rearview mirror assembly disposed in a vehicle and including a mirror reflective element. A camera is disposed at the interior rearview mirror assembly and views a driver sitting at a driver seat of the equipped vehicle. The camera is operable to capture image data. A control includes a vision system-on-a-chip image processor that processes image data captured by the camera. The control, via processing at the vision system-on-a-chip image processor of image data captured by the camera, determines driver movement. The vehicular driver monitoring system generates an output responsive at least in part to the determined driver movement.

A display system comprises: a shooting unit configured to shoot a periphery of a vehicle; a display unit configured to display an image shot by the shooting unit; and a display control unit configured to switch a display mode of display in the display unit between a first display mode for displaying a first display region and a second display mode for displaying a second display region that is different from the first display region. When the display mode is switched to the second display mode in a state in which a display range of the display unit has been adjusted in the first display mode, the display control unit displays the second display region regardless of the adjustment of the display range.

An entertainment system including a removable seat-back display unit and a docking station. The seat-back display unit can include a rotating latch butterfly release mechanism that prevents unauthorized release of the display unit from the docking station. The system can include a three-point attachment system that provides additional protection against accidental detachment of the display unit, and provide safety in the event of partial dislodging. The system can include a current control pin system that ensures that current is not provided from the docking station to the display unit until the respective connectors have been properly engaged. The system can also include a heat dissipation system that employs the docking station to share the heat dissipation load with the display unit.

The present disclosure relates to a display arrangement, including: a cover that is transparent at least in some regions; a support frame adapted to fix the display arrangement on a supporting structure; a pixel matrix display having a display surface; a housing; wherein the support frame is arranged adjacent to the cover and an intermediate space, which is delimited by the support frame and the cover, is formed and is filled with a thermoplastic elastomer; wherein the cover and the support frame form a well, in which the pixel matrix display is accommodated; wherein a transparent adhesive layer is formed in the well between the display surface and the cover to fix the pixel matrix display on the cover, with the display surface being visible through the cover and the adhesive layer; wherein the housing fits over the pixel matrix display and is fixed on the support frame.
