摘要:
The invention relates to a display device (10), particularly a display device for a motor vehicle, wherein the display device (10) comprises a brightness sensor (40). The display device (10) further comprises a flexible fiberoptic cable (20) with a light input point (21) and a light output point (22) provided for coupling light into the brightness sensor (40), wherein an adapter element (30) is provided in the region of the light output point (22) and the brightness sensor (40), or wherein the display device (10) comprises a temperature sensor (45) in the region of the brightness sensor (40).
摘要:
It is detected whether a vehicle is currently in a running standby state, and, if the vehicle is currently in the running standby state, a predetermined tone is generated periodically. Along with the generation of the tone, a visual display is made in a display style that varies periodically in accordance with a displaying period synchronized with the generating period of the tone. Because that the vehicle is currently in the running standby state can be informed to a vehicle occupant both visually and auditorily in the above-mentioned manner, the vehicle occupant is allowed to intuitively identify that the vehicle is currently in the running standby state. Further, per internal operating state of the vehicle having operated in response to an instruction from an operation section, a tone, corresponding to the internal operating state, is generated for a predetermined tone generation time. Along with the tone generation, illumination control is performed on a light emission section such that a light amount gradually increases or decreases within a predetermined time. In this way, each state/operation of the vehicle can be informed in such a friendly and casy-to-follow manner as to make the vehicle occupant feel as if "the vehicle were awaking" or "the vehicle were falling asleep".
摘要:
A light warning system (20) and method (60) are provided for warning a driver (18) of a vehicle (10) of a sensed condition. The warning system (20) includes a lighting device (22) having first and second colored LEDs (26, 28) for generating a light beam (50) viewable on a windshield (14) in front of the driver (12) of the vehicle (10). The system (20) also includes a detection device (40) for detecting a condition desirable of a warning and generating a warning signal. The system (20) further includes a controller (30) processing the warning signal and determining whether to present a light beam warning displayed to the driver on the windshield. The controller (30) controls the lighting device (22) to generate a flashing light beam (50), wherein the light beam (50) flashes on and off for a time period less than one-half second.
