A display device may include a flexible screen element having a screen surface and two frame elements which can be moved relative to one another. A first of the two frame elements is positioned on a first side of the flexible screen element and a second of the two frame elements is positioned on a second side of the flexible screen element opposite the first side. In order to allow improved handling and, as a result, improved useful life of a flexible screen, a resilient stretching element is provided, through which the first side of the screen element is positioned on the first frame element.

A display device includes a flexible screen device and a pivot mechanism. The flexible screen device is movable between a stowed position, in which the flexible screen device is bent along a circular arc and stowed in a housing, and a use position, in which the flexible screen device protrudes at least partially from the housing. The pivot mechanism is configured to move the flexible screen device between the stowed position and the use position, and includes a motor and a pivot arm. The pivot arm is rotatably mounted on a foot region of the flexible screen device so as to be pivotable about an axis of rotation. The pivot arm is configured to receive a torque from the motor to move the foot region along the circular arc. The flexible screen device is thereby alternately pushed into the use position and pulled into the stowed position.

A display device for a vehicle includes a display panel, a control circuitry, and a supporting arrangement. The display panel displays a graphic display object and the control circuitry enables the displaying of the graphic display object, such that the information represented by the graphic display object is displayed based on a predefined physical environment condition. The supporting arrangement supports the display panel which is adjustable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the graphic display object is visually accessible to a user inside the vehicle and in the second position, the graphic display object is visually accessible to at least one person outside the vehicle.

Display device for a vehicle and a method for operating the display device

A display device may include a flexible display surface element having a display surface, and an adjustment unit which includes a clamping element in form of a rod and arranged such that the rod moves in a first adjustment direction, a restoring element arranged on the clamping element, and a deflection element in form of a rod. A first side edge of the display surface element is arranged on a length of the clamping element. A second side edge of the display surface element opposite the first side edge is connected to the clamping element via the restoring element. A surface of the display surface element is bent and has a bending region. A length of the deflection element extends in same direction as the clamping element, the deflection element extends within the bending region of the bent display surface element and is arranged such that the deflection element moves in a second adjustment direction to change a distance between the deflection element and the clamping element.

An apparatus for a passenger compartment of a vehicle includes a display panel having an external portion and an internal portion. The passenger compartment is delimited by paneling to separate the passenger compartment from a region outside of the passenger compartment. The internal portion of the display panel is in the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The external portion of the display panel, separated from the passenger compartment by the paneling, is in the region outside of the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The external portion of the display panel is to generate an external display content inside of the region. The apparatus includes a strip in a first opening of the paneling. The strip is to project the external display content of the external portion of the display panel out of the region that is separated from the passenger compartment by the paneling and into the passenger compartment.

A base unit with a base dent region supports a main display unit having a main display panel. The main display unit is integrated in the base dent region and is rotatable about a base axis between a main loaded position and a main viewing position where the main display panel is visually accessible to a user from a predefined head position. The display device includes an auxiliary display unit which is integrated in a main dent region of the main display unit. The auxiliary display unit includes an auxiliary display panel which is designed to be visually accessible to the user from the predefined head position by rotating the main display unit about the base axis.

This disclosure relates to a method for assisting a user of a motor vehicle when swerving around an obstacle on a movement path of the motor vehicle. A driver assistance device carries out the following: providing a warning signal which describes an object on the movement path and a collision area which is visible through a window, preferably a vehicle window of the motor vehicle in which the object is located; defining a swerving area visible through the vehicle window, in which a swerving point for travelling around the object is visible, generating an accentuation signal, which describes a measure for accentuating the swerving area, and transmitting the accentuation signal to an accentuation device. Depending on the accentuation signal, the measure for accentuating the swerving area is carried out. The accentuation device can control a heads-up display, a monitor integrated into the vehicle window and/or a headlight.

A method for controlling a state of charge of an energy storage device of a motor vehicle. A control device receives a first operator control signal and, only if the first operator control signal is received by a first operator control element of an operator control device and describes a user request to change a state of charge, a first operating mode of the control device is activated, whereby the control device is coupled to a power control device. A second operating mode of the control device, in which the control device is coupled to a monetarization device, is activated only if the first operator control signal is received by a second operator control element of the operator control device, the signal describing a user request to transmit a monetary value to a data server device external to the motor vehicle.

The invention relates to a housing for a head-up display of a motor vehicle, which housing has an inner wall that at least partially delimits an internal space for an imaging projection device to project a virtual image in a beam path onto a reflection surface in an internal space of the motor vehicle. The housing is characterized by at least one reflective deflection region of the internal wall to deflect the beam path of the imaging projection device. The deflection region may have a metallized or metallizing layer which is formed via the application of a metallizing, amorphous substance or material onto a surface of a base body of the inner wall, said surface facing toward the internal space. The invention furthermore relates to a corresponding head-up display, a correspondingly embodied motor vehicle, and a method to provide a housing according to the invention.
