Automobile infrared night vision device and automobile display

Automobile display unit for representation of image data of a night vision device including

• an image processing unit, to which image data is supplied, and which is adapted for processing the image data supplied to it such that
• contiguous areas of image data are determined, of which the image points exhibit a greater lightness than a predetermined lightness threshold value,
• the image data of the image points of these contiguous areas are replaced by image data, which exhibit at least a partially reduced light intensity value,
• a display for representation of the image data supplied by the image processing unit, and
• a control unit for controlling the display unit thereby characterized,
• that the image processing unit includes a unit for determining a central area and an edge area of the contiguous areas and is adapted for assigning the image points of the central area image data with reduced lightness, in comparison to which the image points of the edge area of the image data are assigned light intensity values which are different therefrom.
