Abstract
A vehicle smart garnish is provided. The vehicle smart garnish includes an upper casing formed with a plurality of symbols to which light is emitted, a capacitive touch sensor pad corresponding to at least one of the plurality of symbols and recognizing a touch, a holder casing in which the capacitive touch sensor pad is mounted and coupled from a rear of the upper casing, and a circuit board positioned behind the holder casing and on which a light emitting element emitting light is mounted and configured to detect a touch signal of the capacitive touch sensor pad, wherein the holder casing includes a light guide path for guiding the light emitted from the light emitting element to the plurality of symbols, and a light reflection layer is formed on a partition of the light guide path.
Claims18
A vehicle smart garnish of a vehicle comprising:
- an upper casing formed with a plurality of symbols to which light is emitted, the upper casing and the plurality of symbols being exposed as a part of an interior material of the vehicle;
- a capacitive touch sensor pad corresponding to at least one of the plurality of symbols and recognizing a touch;
- a holder casing in which the capacitive touch sensor pad is mounted and coupled from a rear of the upper casing;
- a circuit board positioned behind the holder casing and on which a light emitting element emitting light is mounted and configured to detect a touch signal of the capacitive touch sensor pad, the light emitting element being corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of symbols, and
- a haptic actuator configured to vibrate the holder casing in a vertical direction,
- wherein the holder casing includes a light guide path for guiding the light emitted from the light emitting element to the corresponding at least one of the plurality of symbols, and a light reflection layer is formed on a partition of the light guide path,
- wherein the holder casing comprises a support leg protruding downward in the vertical direction from a rear surface thereof and the haptic actuator is coupled to an vertical end of the support leg such that the support leg is disposed between rear surface of the holder casino and the haptic actuator in the vertical direction.
A vehicle smart garnish of a vehicle comprising:
- an upper casing formed with a plurality of symbols to which light is emitted, the upper casing and the plurality of symbols being exposed as a part of an interior material of the vehicle;
- a capacitive touch sensor pad corresponding to at least one of the plurality of symbols and recognizing a touch;
- a capacitive force sensor pad configured to recognize that pressure is applied to at least one of the plurality of symbols;
- a holder casing in which the capacitive touch sensor pad and the capacitive force sensor pad are sequentially mounted and coupled from a rear of the upper casing;
- a circuit board positioned behind the holder casing and on which a light emitting element emitting light is mounted and configured to detect a touch signal of the capacitive touch sensor pad and a pressure application signal of the capacitive force sensor pad, the light emitting element being corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of symbols, and
- a haptic actuator configured to vibrate the holder casing in a vertical direction,
- wherein the holder casing includes a light guide path for guiding the light emitted from the light emitting element to the corresponding at least one of the plurality of symbols, and a light reflection layer is formed on a partition of the light guide path,
- wherein the holder casing comprises a support leg protruding downward in the vertical direction from a rear surface thereof and the haptic actuator is coupled to an vertical end of the support leg such that the support leg is disposed between the rear surface of the holder casino and the haptic actuator in the vertical direction.
