Disclosed is a console operation device including a base plate, at least one solenoid disposed in the base plate, a guide rail disposed in front of the base plate, and a manipulator mounted on the guide rail to move on the guide rail, wherein the at least one solenoid includes a first magnet having a polarity, wherein the manipulator includes a second magnet having a polarity, wherein the manipulator is configured to be moved based on the polarities of the first and second magnets.

A frame member of an instrument cluster assembly. The frame member includes a base portion, a first wing extending from a first side of the base portion, and a second side of the base portion that is opposite to the first side. A display overlapping portion extends from the base portion between the first side and the second side, and is configured to be mounted to a display area of a dial sheet that the frame member is coupled to. The first wing is configured to restrict bending of the dial sheet that the frame member is coupled to.

A vehicular display apparatus includes a light source unit that emits laser light; a first optical system that uses a first projection surface, onto which a display image is projected, to make a virtual image discernible; a second optical system that uses a second projection surface, onto which the display image is projected, to make a real image discernible; a controller; and a switching mechanism that switch the two optical systems. The distance between the light source unit and first projection surface is smaller than the distance between the light source unit and second projection surface.

A display apparatus includes multiple display portions each of which displays a content different from one another, a decoration member which decorates one of the multiple display portions, an actuator which moves the decoration member, and a control portion which controls the actuator to move the decoration member to a position at which the decoration member decorates one display portion selected among the multiple display portions.

A system for managing multiple independent cockpit displays, comprising: first and second displays configured to receive input and display pages, the pages defined by parameters in a database; and a control system comprising a processor coupled to a memory storing the database, the processor configured to: receive a request to display a first page on the first display; retrieve a flag associated with the first page, the flag being a parameter in the database and indicating whether a page is safe or unsafe for simultaneous display and editing; retrieve group designators associated with the first page and a second page, the group designator being a parameter in the database, the group designator identifying related pages; and control display and editing of pages on the first display based on at least one of: the flag associated with the first page, and the group designators associated with the first and second pages.

A frame member of an instrument cluster assembly. The frame member includes a base portion, a first wing extending from a first side of the base portion, and a second side of the base portion that is opposite to the first side. A display overlapping portion extends from the base portion between the first side and the second side, and is configured to be mounted to a display area of a dial sheet that the frame member is coupled to. The first wing is configured to restrict bending of the dial sheet that the frame member is coupled to.

A display device is for displaying a virtual image in front of a driver of a vehicle. The display device includes a detecting unit that receives light surrounding the vehicle, and detects a brightness of the received light; a restricting unit that restricts an angle of the received light; a correcting unit that adjusts a luminance of a display image, according to the detected brightness of the light; and a displaying unit that superimposes and displays the display image on a field of vision of the driver as the virtual image, based on the adjusted luminance. The restricting unit includes two opening restricting elements arranged on a front side of the detecting unit, such that an angle 2 at which the detecting unit receives the light is restricted according to an angle 1 formed by light beams directed from the virtual image toward eyes of the driver.

This display device is provided with a display unit, a beam splitter, and a first mirror. The display unit emits a first image and a second image. The beam splitter has, incident thereon, the first image and the second image which are emitted from the display unit. The beam splitter transmits the incident first image and reflects the incident second image to project the first image and the second image on a display medium. The first mirror has, incident thereon, the first image which has been transmitted through the beam splitter. The first mirror reflects the incident first image to project the first image on the display medium.

A vehicle information system includes a portrait in-dash touchscreen display for simultaneously displaying both vehicle-specific and application-specific information as vertically-stacked landscape renderings, or for displaying a selected one of either the vehicle-specific or application information as a single portrait rendering. A further region of the touchscreen's active surface, preferably along its upper margin, is reserved as a fixed command bar to facilitate manual touch selection of the information to be displayed on the remainder of the touchscreen's active surface, while the system further dynamically responds to vehicle and operational parameters to select the information for display as appropriate, for example, based on vehicle operation conditions.

A display device that includes a display element including a light source, and a surface film disposed so as to overlap with the display element and including a thermoplastic elastomer composition, the thermoplastic elastomer composition satisfying conditions (1) and (2) below, and the surface film satisfying conditions (3) and (4) below: (1) The melt flow rate (ASTM D1238, 230 C., 2.16 kg load; MFR) is not less than 30 g/10 min. (2) The type A hardness (momentary value) measured by a method in accordance with JIS K6253 is 60 to 90. (3) The thickness is not less than 300 m and not more than 2 mm. (4) The total light transmittance measured by a method in accordance with JIS K7361 is 3 to 60%.
