Abstract
A display panel with a pixel matrix has control circuitry designed to actuate at least one pixel element of the pixel matrix for displaying at least one graphic display object. The display panel is flexible and is movably supported by a controllable supporting arrangement. An electronic control unit can adjust a position of the display panel as a function of a position signal between a first position, where the display panel can cover at least one portion of a vehicle roof, and a second position, where the display panel can cover at least one portion of a windscreen.
Claims18
A vehicle with a display device comprising:
- at least one vehicle sub-system;
- a roof having a roof module configured to control the at least one vehicle sub-system;
- a windscreen;
- a display panel with a pixel matrix, the display panel being flexible;
- control circuitry configured to actuate at least one pixel element of the pixel matrix for displaying at least one graphic display object, including a representation of the roof module aligned with the roof module when any portion of the display panel covers a corresponding portion of the roof module;
- a controllable supporting arrangement movably supporting the display panel;
- and
- an electronic control unit configured to adjust the display panel between a first position, covering at least one portion of the roof, and a second position as a function of a position signal at least one of derived from a source and in accordance with a driving situation, the display panel configured to cover at least one portion of the windscreen in the second position.
A vehicle, comprising:
- a roof;
- a windscreen;
- a display panel with a matrix of pixel elements, the display panel being flexible;
- a controllable supporting arrangement movably supporting the display panel;
- an electronic control unit configured to adjust the display panel between a first position, covering at least one portion of the roof, and a second position as a function of a position signal at least one of derived from a source and in accordance with a driving situation, the display panel configured to cover at least one portion of the windscreen in the second position;
- and
- control circuitry configured to display a representation of a roof module as at least one graphic display object on the display panel at a constant position relative to a reference point inside the vehicle, by shifting an actuation of the pixel elements of the graphic display object representing the roof module, where a magnitude of a rate of shifting the actuation of the pixel elements is equal to a magnitude of a rate of change of position of the display panel and a direction of the rate of shifting the actuation of the pixel elements is opposite to that of the rate of change of the position of the display panel.
