The present disclosure relates to a display element with disappearance technology and to a method for producing such a display element. The display element has a display assembly with a display panel and a backlight arranged behind the display panel. The display element also has a stabilization assembly with a cutout for accommodating the display assembly, and a decorative film, which is attached at least to a top side of the stabilization assembly and extends over the cutout for the display assembly.

Display element having camouflage technology

A method for adjusting the brightness of a display in a vehicle, to a display system having display electronics that are configured to carry out such a method, and to a vehicle that has a corresponding display system is disclosed. The method comprises selecting a region of the display, the region being defined by a number of pixels that is less than the number of pixels of the display, and incorporating a brightness value into the selected region each pixel in the selected region being assigned the same brightness value and the brightness value being associated through a calculation rule with each pixel of the selected region.

Adjusting the brightness of a display

In an electro-optical touchscreen inputs into an electronic system are able to be realized by the electro-optical touchscreen being touched by an input member and wherein the electro-optical touchscreen comprises a display and a first sensing device for determining the location at which the electro-optical touchscreen is touched, and a second sensing device for determining a force applied to the electro-optical touchscreen, wherein the position of the electro-optical touchscreen with respect to a reference surface is variable by way of the force being applied to the surface of said electro-optical touchscreen, wherein the second sensing device is configured in capacitive fashion and comprises an electrode, it is provided that the electrode of the second sensing device lies in a plane with electrodes of the display or in a plane with electrodes of the first sensing device.

Touchscreen having electro-optical display and integrated pressure sensing

In a test method, a screen in a vehicle is actuated in order to generate a specified raster image. An electric current intensity flowing as a result of the actuation is measured, and the measured current intensity is compared with a specified reference current intensity. It is ascertained whether the raster image was generated without errors dependent on the comparison.

Test method for a screen in a vehicle

An electro-optical display device with a transparent cover and a display, a transparent bonding material being present between the electro-optical display and the transparent cover, the transparent cover being part of a tray, the sides of the tray being designed as a frame, the lateral surfaces of the electro-optical display being surrounded by the frame in a form-fitting manner and the electro-optical display being connected to the frame.

Electro-optical display with a transparent cover

The invention relates to a light source () comprising at least one light module () and one control module () provided with a control electronics system. The invention also relates to an image-generating unit () for a head-up display provided with an inventive light source (). Traditional solutions require too much construction space or cannot be mass-produced in order to obtain sufficient brightness. The aim of the invention is to combine a high degree of brightness, little construction space and mass-producibility, particularly for a head-up-display. According to the invention, the light module () and the control module () respectively comprise their own carrier element ()and are firmly connected to a common carrier (). The light module () is connected to the control module () by means of first electrical lines which are configured in such a way that thermally induced relative movements between the control modules () and light module () are received in a trouble-free manner by modification of the form of the lines.

Light source for an image-generating unit

In a device for producing an image with a high light intensity by an image reproduction apparatus () which contains light valves, a light source comprising a light-emitting diode matrix () is provided for background lighting of the image reproduction apparatus (). An optical device () for focussing and scattering the light which is produced by the light-emitting diode () is arranged between the light source () and the image reproduction apparatus ().
