The at least two rigid lining parts may be in form of at least two rigid lining panels which are arranged in plane-parallel fashion, with each rigid lining panel of the at least two rigid lining panels held together in pairs by an internal bearing arrangement that has guide elements arranged in cutouts in each rigid lining panel of the at least two rigid lining panels, and in this respect are mounted displaceably relative to one another along a displacement path in the plane-parallel fashion.

A flexible display module, a vehicle-mounted curved surface display module, and a vehicle are provided. The flexible display module (10) comprises: a support layer (11); a flexible display panel (12) on the support layer (11); and an optical control layer (13), on the side of the flexible display panel (12) away from the support layer (11), and comprises first and second light control layers (131) and (132) on one side of the first light control layer (131), wherein the dimming rate of the first light control layer (131) is greater than that of the second light control layer (132). The flexible display module (10) uses the first and second light control layers (131) and (132) to realize visual angle brightness control of different regions, can be applied to vehicle-mounted display to solve the problem whereby curved surface display tends to form a projection on a windshield.

A pop-up display device includes a housing, a display panel accommodated in the housing and movable in a vertical direction, a rear plate rotatably coupled to a back surface of the housing, and a gear unit disposed between a back surface of the display panel and the rear plate and configured to move the display panel. The gear unit is engaged with each other in a first state by rotation of the rear plate and is separated from each other in a second state by rotation of the rear plate. The pop-up display device can easily secure a front field-of-view (FOV) through a structure that allows manual operation of the pop-up display device mounted on the vehicle.

A display device for a vehicle comprises a display module having a display panel and a cover window disposed on one side of the display panel, and a drive mechanism for laying down the display module or standing the display module up, wherein the cover window may comprise: a total reflection area in which an image emitted from the display panel is totally reflected; and a transmission area in which the image emitted from the display panel is transmitted.

An Augmented Reality (AR) display device interoperating with a vehicle and a method for operating the same are disclosed. An AR display device interoperating with a vehicle according to the present disclosure can predict a context in which a problem may occur by additionally considering an external resource in addition to map data and sensing data as internal resources while the vehicle travels, and display the predicted context by varying an AR graphic interface in real time, thereby intuitively notifying a driver of the predicted context and a countermeasure therefor. At this time, an AR object separated from the AR graphic interface not only displays a guide for the predicted context but also provides a corresponding guide for safe driving in the predicted context.

A vehicle including a windshield, a flexible display screen, a flexible display screen attachment component, at least one processor, and at least one memory configured to store instructions is disclosed. The instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to (i) generate a set of images from sensor data received from one or more sensors mounted on a body of the vehicle; and (ii) display the set of images on the flexible display screen attached to the flexible display screen attachment component while covering the windshield. The set of images has effects of adverse weather conditions or poor lighting conditions removed.

A vehicle display apparatus includes: a camera; a stretchable display panel including a touch sensor; a mechanical unit including at least one pin moving in a perpendicular direction with respect to a rear surface of the display panel; and a processor configured to: control operations of the display panel and the mechanical unit, identify a user touching the display panel, and determine a driver's seat or a passenger's seat control mode; in the driver's seat and passenger's seat control modes, output a driving control signal for controlling movement of the at least one pin; output an operation control signal for performing a function corresponding to a touch of the user input to a protruding area of the display panel according to the movement of the at least one pin; and in the driver's seat control mode, output a feedback control signal for feedback output set for performing the function.

A retractable work surface apparatus for a vehicle includes a plurality of guiderails installed within the vehicle's dashboard. Each guiderail features a curved portion with a specified radius extending downward from the dashboard's front surface toward its inner region. The apparatus further comprises a work surface assembly moveably coupled to the guiderails. The work surface assembly includes a structural support layer and a flexible touchscreen layer disposed on the support layer, configured to receive user input. A plurality of telescoping rails, each slidably coupled to the work surface assembly and aligned with the guiderails, facilitate the extension and retraction of the work surface assembly. The telescoping rails enable the work surface assembly to extend beyond the dashboard's front surface to a use position and retract into a stowed position within the dashboard.

A display device comprising a spatial light modulator having a display polariser arranged on one side of the spatial light modulator is provided with an additional polariser arranged on the same side as the display polariser and a polar control retarder between the additional polariser and the display polariser. The polar control retarder includes a liquid crystal retarder having two surface alignment layers disposed adjacent to a layer of liquid crystal material on opposite sides. The surface alignment layers provide alignment in the adjacent liquid crystal material with a twist. The out-of-plane orientation of the twisted layer of liquid crystal material is modified across at least one region of the display device to provide a pupillated transmission function, achieving increased luminance uniformity to a display user and increased uniformity of security factor to an off-axis snooper, or reduced distraction across the display to the driver in an automotive application.

An electronic device and a vehicle using the same are provided. The electronic device includes a display panel. The display panel is switched between a share mode and a privacy mode. In the privacy mode, a first light emission brightness measured at a first viewing angle is lower than a second light emission brightness measured at a normal line of the display panel, and a third light emission brightness measured at a second viewing angle is higher than the second light emission brightness.
