Abstract
A vehicle compartment includes a first display configured to irradiate light towards a driver reference position within the vehicle compartment and a first micro-louver structure disposed on the first display configured to reduce an angle range of light from the first display passing therethrough and to irradiate reduced angle light.
Claims20
A vehicle compartment defining a lateral direction, the vehicle compartment comprising:
- a first display configured to irradiate light towards a driver reference position within the vehicle compartment;
- a first micro-louver structure disposed on the first display configured to reduce, in the lateral direction, an angle range of light from the first display passing therethrough and to irradiate reduced angle light;
- a second display;
- and
- a second micro-louver structure disposed on the second display configured to reduce, in the lateral direction, an angle range of light from the second display passing therethrough and to irradiate the light as reduced angle light,
- wherein the reduced angle light irradiated by the first micro-louver structure is narrower than the reduced angle light irradiated by the second micro-louver structure.

- a first display configured to irradiate light towards a driver reference position within the vehicle compartment;
- and
- a first micro-louver structure disposed on the first display configured to reduce, in the lateral direction, an angle range of light from the first display passing therethrough and to irradiate reduced angle light,
- wherein the first micro-louver structure comprises:
- a first portion disposed at a center of the first display configured to irradiate light passing therethrough as light having a first central axis in a first direction, and
- a second portion laterally offset from the center of the first display that irradiates the light passing therethrough as light having a second central axis in a second direction that is different from the first direction,
- wherein the first central axis and the second central axis are directed towards the driver reference position.
