VEHICLE DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240025258 titled 'VEHICLE DISPLAY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an in-vehicle display device that consists of multiple layers, including a display panel, housed within a vehicle. The housing bottom member is fixed to the vehicle at two or more fixing points. The distance between the main surface of the cover glass and a virtual plane defined by the fixing points (zis) and the distance between the main surface of the display panel and the virtual plane (z) are defined. The ratio of z to zis is 0.6 or less. The layers of the device satisfy a specific expression based on the virtual line defined by the main surface of the display panel and the virtual plane.
- The in-vehicle display device has multiple layers, including a display panel, that are fixed within a vehicle.
- The device is fixed to the vehicle at two or more fixing points, creating a virtual plane.
- The distance between the cover glass and the virtual plane (zis) and the distance between the display panel and the virtual plane (z) are defined.
- The ratio of z to zis is limited to 0.6 or less.
- The layers of the device satisfy a specific expression based on the virtual line defined by the display panel and the virtual plane.
Potential applications of this technology:
- In-vehicle infotainment systems: The display device can be used to provide entertainment and information to passengers in a vehicle.
- Navigation systems: The display device can be used to show maps and navigation instructions to the driver.
- Vehicle control systems: The display device can be used to display information related to the vehicle's performance and control.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Space optimization: The design of the display device allows for efficient use of space within the vehicle.
- Secure fixation: The fixing points ensure that the display device is securely attached to the vehicle.
- Visual clarity: The defined distances and ratios help maintain clear and visually appealing display quality.
Benefits of this technology:
- Compact design: The device's multiple layers are arranged in a way that minimizes space requirements.
- Secure installation: The fixing points ensure that the display device remains in place even during vehicle movement.
- Enhanced visibility: The defined distances and ratios contribute to improved visual clarity and readability of the display.
Original Abstract Submitted
an in-vehicle display device includes n layers from a cover glass to a housing bottom member, including a display panel midway thereof. the housing bottom member is fixed to an interior portion of a vehicle at at least two fixing points. when a virtual plane r is defined based on the two fixing points, a distance zis defined based on a main surface of the cover glass and the virtual plane r, and a distance z is defined based on a main surface of the display panel and the virtual plane r, a ratio z/zis 0.6 or less. when a virtual line l is defined based on the main surface of the display panel and the virtual plane r, the n layers satisfy expression (1).
