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 device for controlling a vehicle display device may include: a processor to determine a vehicle driving condition, and adjust a screen size of the vehicle display device based on the determined vehicle driving condition; and a storage to store information determined by the processor.

A display system and vehicle that have novel structures are provided. The display system includes a display panel, a correction circuit, and a memory circuit. The display panel is flexible. The display panel includes a display region and a non-display region. The memory circuit has a function of storing first data about the display region and second data about the non-display region. The non-display region has a region which overlaps with the display region when the display panel is bent. The correction circuit has a function of generating image data to be written to pixels in the display region on the basis of the first data and the second data.

An automotive display device on which an image may be displayed, the automotive display device being for a vehicle interior, the automotive display device including an automotive frame, at least part of the automotive frame being bendable; and a bending controller to control bending of the automotive frame.

On an inner wall in the interior of a vehicle, a display device is subdivided into a plurality of display fields with two directly adjacent display fields connected to each other along a common axis. At least one display field can be pivoted relative to at least one bending plane to beam display content into the interior at an angle relative to the at least one bending plane. In a first operating position, a surface of this at least one display field is oriented perpendicular to the at least one bending plane. In a second operating position, this at least one display field is pivoted relative to the at least one bending plane at an angle 90- relative to the at least one bending plane to beam the display content into the interior parallel to the at least one bending plane.

A deployable display for use in a vehicle is provided. The deployable display can be positioned in a plurality of stowed or a plurality of deployed positions, wherein the deployable display functions as a sun visor located in front of a windshield of the vehicle when it is in a first one of the plurality of deployed positions and when the deployable display is in a second one of the plurality of deployed positions or the first one of the plurality of deployed positions the deployable display functions as a screen that provides images from a controller operatively coupled to the deployable display.

A display device for an autonomous vehicle includes a display unit mounted in a ceiling of the vehicle and including at least one display; and a position adjustment unit configured to move a position of at least one display of the display unit. The at least one display of the display unit is moved by the position adjustment unit between a first position in which a screen is disposed toward a ceiling or floor of the vehicle and a second position in which a screen is disposed toward each of seats facing each other. At least one display of the display unit is disposed such that the screen faces the front and the rear of the vehicle at the second position.

On an inner wall in the interior of a vehicle, a display device is subdivided into a plurality of display fields with two directly adjacent display fields connected to each other along a common axis. At least one display field can be pivoted relative to at least one bending plane to beam display content into the interior at an angle a relative to the at least one bending plane. In a first operating position, a surface of this at least one display field is oriented perpendicular to the at least one bending plane. In a second operating position, this at least one display field is pivoted relative to the at least one bending plane at an angle 90 relative to the at least one bending plane to beam the display content into the interior parallel to the at least one bending plane.

Disclosed are a vehicle control device provided in a vehicle and a method for controlling a vehicle. The vehicle control device includes a display unit, a detachable interface device detachably attached to the display unit, and a processor controlling at least one of the display unit and the detachable interface device according to a preset scheme when the detachable interface device is attached to or detached from the display unit.

Vehicle information is displayed on a deformable display of an instrument cluster for a motor vehicle. The instrument cluster includes the deformable display, a support structure, at least one sensor element, and at least one movement element. The deformable display is arranged on the support structure and the support structure is movable from a first position into a second position by using the at least one movement element, based on environmental influences detected by the sensor element.
