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

A display device with self-luminous display elements, which are arranged in a panel. The panel is provided, on its rear side opposite the light-emitting surface used for display, with a heat distribution element, on the side of which facing away from the rear side at least one temperature sensor is arranged. The heat distribution element has at least one opening, behind which a light sensor is arranged, wherein the light sensor and the temperature sensor are arranged on a common carrier.

Temperature measurement and ambient light measurement in the case of self-luminous display technologies in automotive applications

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.
