Abstract
A device for displaying at least one pictogram inside a vehicle passenger compartment. The device includes a light source suitable for emitting light in response to a control signal, and an opaque covering layer having a through opening defining the pictogram. A photosensitive layer extends facing or in the opening. When the light source is deactivated, the photosensitive layer is opaque and has the same color as the covering layer. When the light source is activated, the photosensitive layer reacts so as to render the pictogram defined by the opening of the covering layer visible for an occupant of the vehicle passenger compartment.
Claims15
Device for displaying at least one pictogram inside a vehicle passenger compartment, comprising:
- a light source connected to a control system and suitable for emitting light in response to a control signal;
- an opaque covering layer having a certain color and comprising a through opening defining said pictogram;
- and
- a photosensitive layer having an inner face facing the light source and an outer face opposite the inner face and facing the vehicle passenger compartment, and extending facing and/or in said opening;
- wherein, when said light source is deactivated, said photosensitive layer is opaque and has the same color as the covering layer and, when said light source is activated, said photosensitive layer reacts so as to render the pictogram defined by the opening of the covering layer visible for an occupant of the vehicle passenger compartment.
Vehicle equipment control device having a pressure detection sensor and a display device comprising:
- a light source connected to a control system and suitable for emitting light in response to a control signal, and;
- an opaque covering layer having a certain color and comprising a through opening defining said pictogram,
- wherein the display device further comprises a photosensitive layer having an inner face facing the light source and an outer face opposite the inner face and facing the vehicle passenger compartment, and extending facing and/or in said opening, and when said light source is deactivated, said photosensitive layer is opaque and has the same color as the covering layer and, when said light source is activated, said photosensitive layer reacts so as to render the pictogram defined by the opening of the covering layer visible for an occupant of the vehicle passenger compartment.
Vehicle instrument panel having a display device comprising:
- a light source connected to a control system and suitable for emitting light in response to a control signal, and;
- an opaque covering layer having a certain color and comprising a through opening defining said pictogram,
- wherein the display device further comprises a photosensitive layer having an inner face facing the light source and an outer face opposite the inner face and facing the vehicle passenger compartment, and extending facing and/or in said opening, and when said light source is deactivated, said photosensitive layer is opaque and has the same color as the covering layer and, when said light source is activated, said photosensitive layer reacts so as to render the pictogram defined by the opening of the covering layer visible for an occupant of the vehicle passenger compartment.
