In various embodiments, a computer-implemented method includes determining a size of a display area of a display panel on which one or more images are being displayed, determining a threshold current value based on the size, measuring a first current drawn by the display panel, determining whether the first current exceeds the threshold current value, and upon determining that the first current exceeds the threshold current value, causing a second current providing power to a light source associated with the display panel to be shut off.

Detection of a malfunctioning display using power measurement

In various embodiments, a computer-implemented method comprises measuring a current drawn by a display panel, determining whether the current exceeds a threshold value, and upon determining that the current exceeds the threshold value, causing a light source associated with the display panel to shut off.

Embodiments of the present disclosure set forth techniques for mitigating ghost images in a heads-up display. A computer-implemented method includes generating content for display on a heads-up display system, inserting into the content a version of a display element, wherein the version of the display element comprises one or more visual characteristics configured to reduce a perceivability of a ghost image of the display element, and causing the content, including the version of the display element, to be displayed by the heads-up display system.

Ghost image mitigation for heads-up display

Embodiments are disclosed for a method for controlling backlighting of a heads up display of a vehicle. In one example, the method includes adjusting different backlighting regions of the heads up display differently without analyzing a displayed image. In another example, different backlighting regions include a first region and a second region that do not overlap, and adjusting is based on a vehicle operating parameter, user input, and/or a vehicle mode. In another example, backlighting is controlled via a backlight with an array of light emitting elements, and regions include separate adjacent groups of light emitting elements.
