An organic light-emitting diode comprising an organic layer sequence, a radiation exit area and an encapsulation. The organic layer sequence comprises at least one radiation-emitting region which generates electromagnetic radiation in the spectral range from infrared radiation to UV radiation during operation. The radiation exit area is structured, so that the electromagnetic radiation has a directional emission profile. The encapsulation forms a seal of the organic layer sequence against environmental influences.

An illuminated trim fitting for a motor vehicle, in particular a trim fitting as a cover fitting of a sealing strip for the window channel of a vehicle door, is intended to provide a high-quality illuminating effect accompanied at the same time by a simple structural design, low manufacturing costs and space-saving means of attachment. In addition, the trim fitting is to differ as little as possible externally from non-illuminated trim fittings. For this purpose there is provision that a light gap is formed between a profiled strip of the trim fitting and the adjacent vehicle outer skin, through which light gap the light emitted by an optical waveguide provided on the rear of the trim fitting can exit to the outside.

In one embodiment, a method includes detecting, using one or more sensors of a vehicle, an entity in an environment surrounding the vehicle. The method includes determining a position of the entity relative to the vehicle. The method includes determining that a message is to be provided to the entity. The method includes selecting at least one of multiple notification devices of the vehicle based on the position of the entity relative to the vehicle. The method includes providing the message to the entity using the selected notification device.

A bus, notably an articulated low platform bus with an electric drive or a hybrid drive. The bus includes a vehicle detection module configured for detecting vehicle such as a car, a van or a motorbike, a height obtaining module adapted for obtaining the height of the detected vehicle, and a lighting system with a lighting surface adapted for displaying a luminous picture at least partially or totally above the height of the detected vehicle. The height of the luminous picture is adapted depending on the size of the vehicle for visibility purposes.

A display device includes a light source irradiating excitation light and a window glass for a vehicle, such as a windshield, capable of emitting visible light through incident radiation of the excitation light, and allows the window glass for a vehicle to emit the light so as to display a message toward an outside of the vehicle by irradiation with the excitation light.

The present disclosure relates to a dangerous situation notification assembly for a window shade device of a vehicle and a dangerous situation notification assembly for a rear window of a vehicle. A dangerous situation notification assembly for a window shade device for vehicles, according to the present disclosure, which has a shade provided on any one of upper and lower sides of a rear window and reciprocates between a shading position where the rear window is shaded and a rolling position where the shade is rolled from the shading position, comprises: a dangerous situation notification unit which is arranged in the shade and selectively emits light at the shading position of the shade to output a dangerous situation; and a light source unit which is adjacent to the shade and supplies light to the dangerous situation notification unit so that the dangerous situation notification unit selectively emits light.

An illumination system and method of ground and other illuminating that comprises a plurality of sensors that scan/detect the exterior area around the vehicle and at least one controller, the system selectively turning on/off a series of lighting elements placed strategically around the vehicle to allow light to be directed to at least one ground or other surface at the persons at all times or any predetermined time. A controller is provided to activate ground lighting in coordination with sensor signals identifying where an individual or object are located in predetermined proximity to the vehicle.

A notification device in a vehicle enables a person outside the vehicle to be notified of a predetermined operating state of the vehicle by the light emission, and includes: a plurality of spot-shaped light sources arranged at intervals to follow an upper edge of a windshield; a reflecting part reflecting light from the light sources to a front; an outer lens transmitting therethrough the light heading toward the front from the reflecting part; and a housing. The outer lens has on at least one of front and rear faces thereof a fine concave-convex face diffusing the light transmitted through the outer lens. Accordingly, the device is visible through an upper part of the windshield from a person outside the vehicle so that visibility is very good, and the light from the relatively small spot-shaped light source can be sufficiently diffused so that visibility can be further enhanced.

A steering apparatus of a smart mobility vehicle includes: a cockpit module disposed in front of a driver seat and a passenger seat within a vehicle; a steering wheel part connected to the cockpit module, and switchable between a position toward the driver seat and a position toward the passenger seat in a longitudinal direction of the cockpit module; and a locking part to fix the steering part according to a preset condition. The cockpit module includes a first flat section disposed in front of the driver seat and a second flat section disposed in front of the passenger seat; and a locking section curved upward to connect the first flat section and the second flat section.

A device comprising an organic light-emitting diode comprising an organic layer sequence, a radiation exit area and an encapsulation, wherein the organic layer sequence comprises at least one radiation-emitting region which generates electromagnetic radiation in the spectral range from infrared radiation to UV radiation during operation, and wherein the encapsulation forms a seal of the organic layer sequence against environmental influences, at least one touch-sensitive operating element, wherein the at least one touch-sensitive operating element comprises at least one touch sensor, wherein the device is flexible.
