A vehicle includes a display; a glass panel disposed on the front side of the display; and an antireflection film disposed on the front side of the glass panel. The antireflection film may include a plurality of partition walls spaced apart from each other, and the plurality of partition walls may be converted into a transparent state and a black state.

The invention relates to a head-up display device, a vehicle comprising such device and a method of forming an image in a head-up display device. The head-up display device is adapted to project an image on an image surface, such as a windshield. The device comprises a waveguide capable of guiding light carrying the image to be displayed, and an optical correction element. According to the invention, the waveguide is configured to couple light propagating therein towards the optical correction element, and the optical correction element is further configured to perform an optical function for said light and to direct the light towards the image surface through the waveguide.

A vehicle interior component is disclosed. The component provides a user interface with a display/image when illuminated. The component comprises a composite structure with a cover material providing a light-transmissive effect and a surface providing a surface effect (grain/wood texture) visible when the display is off. The image is presented at the cover surface when the display is on. The cover may comprise a wood veneer with backing (paper, fiber material, etc.). The composite structure may comprise a mask layer and a lens, filter, colorant, etc. The user interface may include a sensor. The light source may comprise a display panel, LED/array, module, etc. The image is visible at the user interface when display functionality is in operation; when display functionality is not in operation the surface effect of the cover (e.g. wood texture) is visible with substantially no indication of display functionality.

An information display device attachable to a structure includes a display panel and a surface member. The display panel has a display surface and displays information on the display surface. The surface member is disposed on the display surface side of the display panel and is in a state where only the information displayed on the display surface of the display panel is visible through the surface member when the display panel is turned on. The surface member includes a first layer disposed on a front side, and a second layer that is disposed on the display panel side with respect to the first layer and adjusts light transmittance of the surface member.

An information display device attachable to a structure includes a plate-like body, a display panel, and a surface member. The plate-like body is a part of the structure and has a first attaching surface, a second attaching surface opposite to the first attaching surface, and a side portion that connects the first attaching surface and the second attaching surface to each other. The display panel is attached to the plate-like body and displays information on the display surface. The display surface is disposed from the first attaching surface to the second attaching surface of the plate-like body. The surface member is disposed on the display surface side of the display panel to cover the display panel and is in a state where only the information displayed on the display surface of the display panel is visible through the surface member when the display panel is turned on.

An information display device attachable to a structure includes a display panel and a surface member. The display panel has a display surface and displays information on the display surface. The surface member is a surface member disposed on the display surface side of the display panel, and has a surface area larger than that of the display panel. When the display panel is turned on, only the information displayed on the display surface of the display panel becomes visible through the surface member.

The present invention provides a product with an operation display panel incorporated therein, which naturally harmonizes with the environment to not create visual noise for a user and allow the user to operate the operation display panel intuitively while feeling a natural material. A thin layer, made of a natural wood, natural fiber, natural leather, or natural stone, or a resin, synthetic fiber, synthetic leather or artificial stone created by imitating the appearance and touch of a natural material, is provided on the peripheral surface of a housing so that the thin layer covers at least the entire front surface of a display panel. A touch sensor incorporated comes in contact with the front surface of the panel. The thickness of the thin layer and the luminance of the panel are designed to allow the user to view the content displayed on the panel.
