Display device for a vehicle and a method for operating the display device

A method of operating a display device of a vehicle, comprising:

• displaying, by a display panel of the display device, a graphic display object;
• controlling, by a control circuitry of the display device, the displaying of the graphic display object such that information represented by the graphic display object is displayed based on predefined physical environment conditions;
• and
• rotatably supporting each side of two auxiliary sides of the display panel such that the display panel is turn-able about an axis parallel to a main edge of the display panel to be adjustable between a first position and a second position,
• wherein
• in response to a first turning adjustment of the display panel to the first position, sending a signal to display, by the display panel, so that a first graphic display object corresponding to the first position and a first predefined physical environment condition among the predefined physical environment conditions is displayed by the display panel which is visually accessible to a user among users located inside the vehicle, and
• in response to a second turning adjustment of the display panel to the second position, sending a signal to display, by the display panel, so that a second graphic display object corresponding to the second position and a second predefined physical environment condition among the predefined physical environment conditions is displayed by the display panel which is visually accessible to at least one user among the users located outside the vehicle and/or another person located outside the vehicle.

A vehicle, comprising:

• an interior region;
• and
• a display device disposed in the interior region, the display device including:
• a display panel configured to display a graphic display object,
• a control circuitry configured to enable a display of the graphic display object such that information represented by the graphic display object is displayed based on predefined physical environment conditions, and
• a support arrangement configured to rotatably support each side of two auxiliary sides of the display panel such that the display panel is turn-able about an axis parallel to a main edge of the display panel to be adjustable between a first position and a second position,
• wherein
• in response to a first turning adjustment of the display panel to the first position, sending a signal to display, by the display panel, a first graphic display object corresponding to the first position and a first predefined physical environment condition among the predefined physical environment conditions which is visually accessible to a user among users located inside the vehicle, and
• in response to a second turning adjustment of the display panel to the second position, sending a signal to display, by the display panel, a second graphic display object corresponding to the second position and a second predefined physical environment condition among the predefined physical environment conditions which is visually accessible to at least one user among the users located outside the vehicle and/or another person located outside the vehicle.
