    摘要: An enhanced imaging system for a motor vehicle includes a vision processing module that generates a data signal, in response to the camera capturing at least one of the video and the image. A graphics processor is configured to tone map the video or image to generate an RGB histogram including an overall tonal range. The processor is further configured to compare the overall tonal range to a tonal threshold. The processor detects one or more objects having a boundary that separates an interior region having an object tonal value from an exterior region having an exterior tonal value. The processor generates an optimized signal for increasing a difference between the object tonal value and the exterior tonal value, in response to the overall tonal range being above the tonal threshold. The system can further include a display device for displaying an optimized video or image.

    摘要: A self-cleaning film system includes a substrate and a film. The film includes a monolayer formed from a fluorinated material, and a first plurality of regions disposed within the monolayer and spaced apart from one another such that each of the regions abuts, is surrounded by, and is not covered by the fluorinated material. Each of the regions includes a photocatalytic material. The system also includes a wave guide disposed adjacent the substrate. The wave guide includes a first light source configured for emitting a first portion of electromagnetic radiation towards the film having an ultraviolet wavelength of from 10 nm to 400 nm, and a second light source configured for emitting a second portion of electromagnetic radiation towards the film having an infrared wavelength of from 700 nm to 1 mm. A method of forming a self-cleaning film system configured for reducing a visibility of a contaminant is disclosed.

    摘要: A display assembly includes a display unit for displaying an image. The display unit includes a backlight unit configured to provide light. A color conversion layer is positioned adjacent to and configured to receive the light from the backlight unit. A structural layer is positioned adjacent to the color conversion layer and configured to support the display unit. A first stack is positioned adjacent to the structural layer and includes a first thin-film-transistor (TFT) layer, a color filter layer and a first liquid crystal layer. The display unit is configured to be bendable to a fixed shape such that the display unit retains the fixed shape.

    摘要: A display article includes a film formed from a stretchable plastic and including a first plurality of micro-light emitting diodes and a second plurality of micro-light emitting diodes disposed adjacent to the first plurality and embedded in the plastic. The article includes a substrate having a first portion and a second portion, and a tear seam disposed between the first and second portions. The film is attached to the substrate such that the tear seam is located between the first and second pluralities. A component includes the display article and an airbag disposed adjacent the substrate and configured for transitioning between a stowed position in which the airbag does not extend through the substrate, and a deployed position in which the airbag extends through the substrate and the film. The first and second portions are separated at the tear seam when the airbag is disposed in the deployed position.

    摘要: A self-cleaning film system configured for reducing a visibility of a contaminant includes a substrate and a film. The film includes a monolayer defining a plurality of cavities and formed from a first material having a first surface energy, and a plurality of patches disposed within the plurality of cavities. Each of the patches is formed from a photocatalytic material having a second surface energy that is higher than the first. The film has a touchpoint area having a first use frequency, and a second area having a second use frequency that is less than the first. The patches are present in the touchpoint area in a first concentration and are configured to direct the contaminant towards the second area. The patches are present in the second area in a second concentration that is higher than the first and are configured to reduce the visibility of the contaminant.

    摘要: A head-up display system includes a housing, a liquid crystal display disposed within the housing and configured for emitting a first ray of light, and a reflector stack disposed adjacent the liquid crystal display within the housing. The reflector stack is configured for transmitting therethrough the first ray of light and includes a retardation plate and an optical film disposed on the retardation plate and facing the liquid crystal display. The head-up display system also includes a radiative heat sink disposed on the housing and a turn mirror spaced apart from the reflector stack. The turn mirror is configured for directing a first solar ray to the reflector stack such that the first solar ray reflects off the reflector stack to the radiative heat sink as a second solar ray.
