Abstract
A system and method for driving a multi-layer transparent display, the multi-transparent display including a first transparent display layer and a second transparent display layer is provided. The system includes an input module to receive a stimulus to present content via the multi-transparent display; a display module to determine whether the content is presented via the first transparent display layer or the second transparent display layer; and a layer driver to determine, in response to a condition, whether the content is displayed via the first transparent display layer or the second transparent display layer.
Claims8
A method for driving a multi-layer transparent display, the multi-transparent display, implemented in a vehicle's instrument cluster, including a first transparent display layer and a second transparent display layer, comprising:
- receiving a stimulus to present content via the multi-transparent display;
- determine whether the content is presented via the first transparent display layer or the second transparent display layer;
- and
- detecting a dangerous road condition via a forward looking sensor;
- switching whether the content is displayed via the first transparent display layer or the second transparent display layer in response to a condition, the condition being defined as an indication that the vehicle is approaching the detected dangerous road condition;
- wherein the switching further comprises repeatedly switching the content from the first transparent display layer to the second transparent display layer, and vice-versa, until an indication is received to stop the switching.
