Device for arranging in a motor vehicle, motor vehicle having a device, and method for operating a device

A motor vehicle, comprising:

• a chassis;
• a holding unit;
• a device mounted on the holding unit so as to be movable relative to the holding unit, the device comprising:
• a flexible display device configured to display objects and configured to be selectively disposed in a stowage position and in a plurality of use positions, the display device having a first end region and a second end region,
• a stowage unit in which the first end region of the display device is inserted, the display device being entirely disposed inside the stowage unit in a curved manner such that the first end region and the second end region of the display device have a mutually symmetrical curvature with respect to a center plane in the stowage unit when disposed in the stowage position, and the display device being extendable out of the stowage unit by predetermined use distances to expose a useful region of the display device when the display device is in a use position among the plurality of use positions, the display device being configured to be lockable at different length values of the predetermined use distances respectively corresponding to the plurality of use positions, and
• a computing device configured to control the display device and to adjust the display of the objects based on a current length value of a current predetermined use distance.

• wherein
• the stowage unit includes:
• a first stowage element, into which the first end region of the display device is inserted at least in regions, and
• a second stowage element, in which a second end region opposite the first end region of the display device is inserted,
• the first and second stowage elements are configured to be moved apart to extend the useful region,
• at least one of the first stowage element of the stowage unit and the second stowage element of the stowage unit is held releaseably on the holding unit, and
• the display device is configured flexibly so that the useful region extendable out of the stowage unit is twistable when the at least one of the first stowage element and the second stowage element of the stowage unit is detached.

A method for operating a device having a flexible display device configured to be selectively disposed in a stowage position and in a plurality of use positions, the display device having a first end region and a second end region, the method comprising:

• displaying objects by the display device;
• providing a stowage unit in which the first end region of the display device is inserted, the display device being entirely disposed inside the stowage unit in a curved manner such that the first end region and the second end region of the display device have a mutually symmetrical curvature with respect to a center plane in the stowage unit when disposed in the stowage position, and being extendable out of the stowage unit by predetermined use distances to expose a useful region of the display device when the display device is in a use position among the plurality of use positions, the display device being configured to be lockable at different length values of the predetermined use distances respectively corresponding to the plurality of use positions;
• and
• controlling, by a computing device, the display of the objects based on a current length value of a current predetermined use distance.
