Abstract: An electro-optic device includes a first electrode electrically connecting with power supply circuitry. A second electrode is spaced from the first electrode and electrically connecting with the power supply circuitry. An electro-optic medium is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. At least one third electrode is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode and electrically connecting with one of the first electrode and the second electrode via switching circuitry. The switching circuitry is operable to control an electrical current through the first electrode, the electro-optic medium, and the second electrode.

Abstract: A display device for a vehicle comprises a pixel array comprising a plurality of display elements. The device further comprises at least one test element and a controller. The controller is configured to selectively activate the display elements of the pixel array via a plurality of control signals and identify the activation of the at least one test element in response to at least one of the control signals. The controller is further configured to identify a display fault of the display device by comparing the at least one control signal communicated to the at least one test element to a diagnostic signal communicated from the at least one test element.
