A display system comprises a display, configured for displaying data, wherein the display comprises an inactive display edge not configured for displaying, and an active display inner surface configured for displaying. The display system further comprises a backlighting module having luminous units, wherein the backlighting module is arranged directly or indirectly at a rear side of the display, such that the light emitted by the luminous units forms a backlight for the display. The backlighting module comprises a backlighting edge corresponding to the display edge and comprises a backlighting inner surface corresponding to the display inner surface. The display system further comprises and a control system for driving the luminous units. A vehicle comprising a display system and a method for operating a display system is also provided.

Display system and method for operating a display system

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

A touchscreen having a haptic feedback device includes an electrooptical display with an input area located in front of the electrooptical display and a carrier. The display is mechanically connected, rigidly, to the input area. The input area is movable relative to the carrier by a motor. The electrooptical display is illuminated by a light source connected immovably to the carrier.

Touchscreen having a haptic feedback device

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.
