Abstract

A motor vehicle includes a display system having an image source positioned in a dashboard of the motor vehicle for emitting light beams. A reflection region extends in parallel to a lateral edge of a pane layer of a windshield of the motor vehicle. The reflection region is configured to reflect the light beams to generate a virtual image and the image source includes a one-dimensional switchable strip display. A controller of the motor vehicle is configured to provide, by using the one-dimensional switchable strip display corresponding to the virtual image, at least one of a dynamic running light and a static light strip.
