Method for influencing light beams in the interior of a motor vehicle, and motor vehicle for carrying out the method and mirror bank for such a motor vehicle

A motor vehicle, the motor vehicle comprising:

• a windshield;
• and
• at least one mirror bank arranged below the windshield, the at least one mirror bank being associated with a head-up display;
• at least one display device that extends in a longitudinal direction of the at least one mirror bank is arranged in the at least one mirror bank, the at least one display device adapted to emit light beams toward a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle,
• wherein:
• the at least one mirror bank has, on a front side facing the passenger compartment, a recess extending in the longitudinal direction of the at least one mirror bank, and a light-emitting surface of the at least one display device is embedded in the recess such that the light-emitting surface is set back at a distance with respect to front boundary lines of the recess, or
• the at least one display device has directing optics, or
• the at least one display device is equipped with a polarizing filter, and
• wherein the at least one mirror bank occupies at least a majority of a width of the windshield.

A mirror bank for a motor vehicle, the mirror bank comprising:

• a display device extending in a longitudinal direction of the mirror bank and being arranged in the mirror bank, the display device adapted to emit light beams toward a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle,
• wherein:
• the mirror bank has, on a front side facing the passenger compartment, a recess extending in the longitudinal direction of the mirror bank, and a light-emitting surface of the display device is embedded in the recess such that the light-emitting surface is set back at a distance with respect to front boundary lines of the recess, or
• the display device has directing optics with which light beams that are adapted to be emitted by the display device are radiated in a specific light cone, or
• the display device is equipped with a polarizing filter,
• wherein the mirror bank is arranged below a windshield of the motor vehicle and is associated with a head up display, and
• wherein the at least one mirror bank occupies at least a majority of a width of the windshield.
