A display apparatus for a motor vehicle includes a display surface. A piece of information is displayed on the display surface. In order to offer an optimum display and detectability of the information in different situations, the display surface is arranged on a movably mounted closure device of the motor vehicle and a display of the information is controlled subject to a degree of opening of the closure device detected by using a position sensor of the motor vehicle.

A vehicle display system for a vehicle, the vehicle display system including: a display device including at least one display; at least one processor; and at least one computer memory that is operably connectable to the at least one processor and that has stored thereon instructions which, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations including: acquiring sitting position data of a user in the vehicle; and providing a control signal to adjust a viewing angle of the at least one display in accordance with the sitting position data of the user.

An interior rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a minor head pivotable about a minor support, which is configured to attach at an interior portion of the vehicle. The mirror head includes a mirror reflective element having a transflective mirror reflector that at least partially reflects light incident thereon and at least partially transmits incident light therethrough. A video display device is disposed behind the minor reflective element and includes a display screen backlit by a backlighting device, with the backlighting device including a plurality of micro-LEDs. With the minor support attached at the interior portion of the vehicle, the video display device is operable to display video images captured by a camera of the vehicle, whereby light emitted by the video display device passes through the mirror reflective element for viewing displayed video images.

A light-based output device may be used to display images, symbols, and other information for a user of a system such as a vehicle. A display may be formed from a display layer, a covering layer that covers the display layer, and components such as force and touch sensors and electronic shutters. Haptic feedback may be provided using actuators that are coupled to the covering layer. A movable button member may be used to press the covering layer outwardly within an opening, thereby creating a portion of the covering layer that protrudes from other portions of the covering layer. The button member may also be placed in a position in which the covering layer on the button member is flush with other portions of the covering layer. A touch sensor may be incorporated into the covering layer and may overlap a display and areas outside the display.

A display device for a vehicle includes a stretchable display panel and a touch sensor on a first surface of the stretchable display panel and configured to sense a user's touch. The stretchable display panel includes a plurality of pixels and has a button display area and a display area adjacent the button display area. The stretchable display panel is integrally arranged on a center fascia of the vehicle that as a plurality of curved surfaces, and a step is defined between the button display area and the adjacent display area.

The display system has a non-planar three-dimensional display surface defined by an electronic display screen or a plurality of contiguous electronic display screens, the display surface having at least one curved display area having the form of a developable surface.

The display system has a three-dimensional and curved display surface made up of a single electronic display screen or several joined electronic display screens, the display surface having at least one main zone dedicated to a pilot and suitable for being located in front of said pilot, the main zone being substantially planar or concave, and at least one lateral zone associated with each main zone, each lateral zone being concave and laterally extending the associated main zone.

A vehicle shade assembly includes a vehicle body structure, a cover supporting structure, a cover material, an electronic display and a controller. The vehicle body structure defines an opening with a transparent material installed within the opening. The cover supporting structure is installed to the vehicle body structure adjacent to the opening. The cover material is supported to the cover supporting structure and is movable from a closed orientation covering the opening and the transparent material and an open orientation exposing the opening and the transparent material. The electronic display is installed to the cover material for movement therewith. The controller is configured to operate the display to display content thereon.

A display device has a display surface with at least two display regions for displaying display content, and a folding device configured to fold the display surface. The folding device can optionally have a rail element which runs parallel to a direction of extent of one of the display regions and is arranged displaceably parallel thereto. A lever element of the folding device has a first end arranged on the rail element, and a second end with at least one holding element arranged on a foldable display region.

A touch pad includes a flat portion and a convex type three-dimensional portion having a hemispherical shape. An outer circumferential surface of the three-dimensional portion constitutes a spherical operation area. A second recognition unit of the touch-pad controller recognizes a gesture operation of at least two fingers to be the same gesture operation as a pinch-in operation in a planar operation area, in a case where movement trajectories of the at least two fingers in the spherical operation area are arc-shaped movement trajectories which are bulged outwardly in a case where the spherical operation area is viewed in a plan view.
