Abstract

【Item Uses】 This design is a liquid crystal instrument panel installed in front of the driver's seat of a vehicle to display vehicle driving information (such as vehicle speed, engine speed, water temperature, etc.), allowing the driver to monitor the vehicle status in real time while driving, and supporting multiple display modes. 【Design Description】 1. Front view of the design: The device presents a horizontal rectangle with a multi-layered frame. The top and bottom edges feature a slightly concave curved design in the center, and the four corners are equipped with unique double-rounded corners. Symmetrically distributed ambient light structures are located at the four corners of the screen's outer edge. These ambient light strips extend along the curved lines of the frame and emit different lighting effects according to vehicle driving data when powered on. This echoes the double-rounded corner design of the instrument panel, creating a strong sense of technology and an embracing visual effect. It also complements the instrument panel with a delicately recessed screen bezel, creating an overall visual character that is both stable and technologically dynamic. 2. Design Frame and Proportions: The top and bottom edges of the panel feature symmetrical curved lines with a slight concave center. The bezel has inward-sloping three-dimensional chamfers, giving the display area greater visual depth. Viewed from the rear: The back of the item features a highly distinctive design, with a vertical connecting structure in the center flanked by symmetrical horizontal strip-shaped heat dissipation arrays. A circular hole above the left-side heat dissipation structure serves as a light sensor to detect changes in ambient light. The rear casing has multi-layered, stepped curved edges at both ends, and two symmetrical interfaces are located on the lower back: an OBD communication interface on the lower left and a software upgrade interface on the lower right, maintaining both functionality and visual balance. Design features of the top of the item: There are three slightly raised rectangular function buttons on the top edge, which are symmetrical with the overall central axis and are integrated with the main body outline. Features of the item's left-side view: (Symmetrical to the right-side view, description of the right-side view omitted) 1. Wedge-shaped streamlined design: Viewed from the left side, the item's casing presents a wedge-shaped outline that gradually tapers from front to back. The front screen panel area is relatively thick, with rounded chamfered edges, showcasing a solid visual feel. 2. Multi-layered curved edges: The sides of the casing are composed of several geometric planes with different slopes, extending from the front frame to the rear heat dissipation structure. The lines are clean and the layers are distinct, showcasing the product's thickness and the aesthetic appeal of three-dimensional space. Top view features: The top has a long, concave shape with symmetrical tapering sides. Three rectangular buttons are evenly spaced on the central sloping surface of the top, each engraved with a left-pointing arrow (◁), a right-pointing arrow (▷), and the letter (M) from left to right. From the top view, the buttons appear to slightly protrude from the casing surface. Bottom profile of the item (bottom view): The main body presents a horizontally extending streamlined shape, with a slight bulge in the center due to the rear support structure, while the sides taper symmetrically towards the edges. The bottom edge lines are simple and smooth, showcasing a geometric symmetry that echoes the slightly concave curve of the front. Through this perspective, the multi-layered folded design of the shell from front to back can be clearly observed, defining the spatial visual characteristics of the product's overall thickness.
