Abstract: An illumination system includes at least one first light-emitting diode that is configured to project a first light within a cool visible spectrum and at least one second light-emitting diode that is configured to project a second light within a warm visible spectrum. An imaging assembly includes an infrared light source that is configured to project an infrared light and an imager that captures an image of a reflection of the infrared light from a surface of an object. A processor is configured to extract a 2-dimensional (“2D”) representation of the object from the image, identify and categorize the object, and generate an illumination signal to at least one of the at least one first light-emitting diode or the at least one second light-emitting diode based on the category of the object to illuminate the object.

Abstract: A vehicle display assembly may comprise a transparent element defining a viewing surface, a display element disposed behind the transparent element, and a printed circuit board in electrical communication with the display element. The display element is configured to generate an image visible through the transparent element. The vehicle display assembly may be in communication with at least one of a vehicle sensor and a vehicle computer. The images appearing in the display element may change orientation based on the presence or absence of a vehicle occupant.

Abstract: A scanning apparatus for a vehicle comprises a display housing comprising a display device forming a display plane and a support housing in supportive connection with the display housing. The support housing is in connection with a connection surface of a portion of the vehicle and forms an interior cavity extending substantially perpendicular from the connection surface. A first PCB is disposed in the interior cavity, wherein the first PCB comprises a plurality of planar faces terminating at a plurality of edges. The planar faces extend substantially perpendicular to the connection surface.

Abstract: A rearview assembly having an electrochromic element. A front substrate defines a first surface and a second surface. A front side edge is disposed between the first surface and the second surface. A rear substrate is operably coupled with the front substrate and spaced a predetermined distance therefrom. The rear substrate defines a third surface and a fourth surface. A rear side edge is disposed between the third surface and the fourth surface. A perimeter of the rear substrate is larger than a perimeter of the front substrate, such that an outer portion of the third surface is exposed, thereby defining a peripheral step between the front side edge and the rear side edge. An electrochromic material is disposed between the front substrate and the rear substrate. A bezel is configured to extend around the rear substrate, over the outer portion of the third surface.

Abstract: The disclosure provides for a display apparatus for a vehicle for displaying images captured by at least one image sensor to a driver of the vehicle. The display apparatus includes a display projector configured to project images derived from the image data, a display screen for displaying images projected thereon by the display projector, and a reflector positioned to reflect the images from the display screen towards a viewing direction. According to one embodiment, the display apparatus further includes an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the display projector relative to the vehicle. According to another embodiment, the display apparatus further includes a frame assembly on which the display projector, the display screen, and the reflector are mounted, the frame assembly is mounted to the vehicle such that the frame assembly may be moved relative to the vehicle to adjust the positions of the display projector, the display screen, and the reflector.
