A window display system for a vehicle is provided to display blind spot information to an occupant. The system includes a vehicle window with an interior side facing the passenger compartment and an exterior side facing away, a transparent display integrated with the window to present visual information to the occupant, environment sensors mounted on the vehicle to acquire visual data of the exterior environment corresponding to a blind spot region, turn signal sensors operatively coupled to a turn signal to detect activation, and a controller operatively connected to the transparent display, environment sensors, and turn signal sensors. The controller includes a processor and memory storing instructions that, when executed, detect an object in the blind spot region and activation of the turn signal, and in response, cause the transparent display to overlay a highlighted representation of the object on the interior side of the window.

A cockpit display system includes a cockpit, a first display apparatus, a first light sensor, a second light sensor and a brightness distribution calculation module. The first light sensor is suitable for detecting a first ambient light brightness. The second light sensor is suitable for detecting a second ambient light brightness. The brightness distribution calculation module is suitable for respectively calculating a first brightness and a second brightness of the first display area and the second display area of the first display apparatus under a same display gray level according to the first ambient light brightness and the second ambient light brightness. The first brightness and the second brightness are different from each other.
