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.

An assembly includes an instrument panel and a base rotatably mounted to the instrument panel between a front position and a stowed position. An interior component is supported by the base. A spring biases the base toward the stowed position.

A combiner is fastened to a base in a mobile object with a fastening member having a planar seat surface. The combiner displays a display light image as a virtual image visible to an occupant in the mobile object when the display light image is projected from a projection unit. The combiner includes a projection main body and a fastening protrusion. The projection main body is set with a projection region and has reflection surfaces displaying a virtual image by reflecting the display light image projected onto the projection region in a shape of a curved surface. The fastening protrusion has a planar fastening surface in surface contact with the seat surface. The fastening protrusion protrudes from the projection main body and is fastened to the base with the fastening member inserted into the fastening protrusion.

A sun visor assembly for a vehicle according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a visor configured to be mounted in a vehicle and pivotable between a first position and a second position. A display is mounted on the visor. The display is pivotable between a stowed position and a viewing position relative to the visor.

A rear-view mirror for a vehicle includes a body part, a mirror part, a display part, and an input member configured to control at least one of the body part or the display part, the input member configured to be selectively arranged in first, second, and third states. Based on the input member being in the first state, the body part is configured to be placed in a first position, and the display part is configured to turn on, based on the input member being in the second state, the body part is configured to be placed in a second position, and the display part is configured to turn on, and based on the input member being in the third state, the body part is configured to be placed in the second position, and the display part is configured to turn off.

A user interface capable of controlling various functions in a vehicle is disclosed. The vehicle control method using a smart key includes an integrated operation unit detecting attachment of the smart key through a smart key detector disposed in a predetermined attachment area inside a vehicle, the integrated operation unit transmitting information on a controlled function corresponding to a vehicle state to the smart key, outputting a first user interface corresponding to the information on the controlled function on a first display of the smart key, transmitting information on a result of operation from the smart key to the integrated operation unit when an operation unit provided in the smart key is operated, and the integrated operation unit controlling the controlled function based on the information on the result. The smart key is fixed in the attachment area using magnetic force.

A system for directing content among a plurality of displays. The content may be selected by a user or may be determined by an event, such as a user-interactive input or an input initiated by an event associated with a vehicle system. The input command causes selected content to be moved from a first display to a second display. The input command causes articulation of the second display in order to display the selected content The input command may come from a portable device, or a user interactive command such as a voice command, a visual command such as a gesture, or a touch command. The input command may also come from a vehicle system, such as a navigation system, an infotainment system, a climate control system to name a few.

A head-up display apparatus for a vehicle may include: a housing defining an interior space, with an entrance formed on a side of the housing; a holder unit coupled at a side thereof to a combiner; a moving unit located in the interior space of the housing, rotatably coupled to the holder unit, and reciprocating in one direction to cause the combiner to be accommodated in the interior space of the housing or to be exposed to an outside through the entrance of the housing; a driving unit coupled to the moving unit to move the moving unit; and a tilting unit slidably coupled to the moving unit and coupled to the driving unit, the tilting unit being moved by the driving unit to cause the combiner to be tilted around an imaginary central axis transverse to the combiner.

A motor vehicle includes a window and a body having a storage space with an opening facing toward the window. A flexible electronic display is movable from a first position overlying the window and a second position within the storage space. The window may be a windshield, and the storage space may be within a roof of the vehicle.

An assembly is disclosed, in which a rigid ramp is rigidly connected to a tubular upper part of a steering column for interaction with a displaceable part of an instrument panel. Interaction between the tubular upper part and the displaceable part moves the displaceable part in a reliable manner out of the way during an impact scenario, during which a steering wheel is displaced towards the instrument panel. Displacement of the displaceable part by the rigid ramp permits the steering wheel to be fully displaced without the instrument panel hindering such motion.
