[0041] Figure 8 This is a block diagram of an electronic device according to an exemplary embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0042] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0043] With technological advancements, in-vehicle display devices are becoming increasingly intelligent and diverse in their display methods. In related technologies, in-vehicle displays typically utilize the center console or rearview mirror to display navigation information or play audio and video files.

[0044] However, the display methods in related technologies have at least the following technical problems:

[0045] First, the limited size of the center console or rearview mirror results in a smaller display area.

[0046] Secondly, the installation locations of the center console or rearview mirror are limited, as neither can be installed in front of the driver's seat. When the driver needs to view the displayed information, they would have to turn their head, posing a significant safety risk.

[0047] This disclosure provides a display device, including: a transparent display module mounted on the windshield structure of a vehicle; and a first control module electrically connected to the transparent display module, the first control module being used to control the transparent display module to display preset content. This display device utilizes the windshield structure of a vehicle for mounting. It enables display on the windshield structure while maintaining its transparency. This effectively expands the display size of the in-vehicle display device, improving safety and convenience for the driver when viewing the displayed content.

[0048] In one exemplary embodiment, the display device may be applied to a vehicle. For example... Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the display device 10 includes a transparent display module 110 and a first control module 120.

[0049] A transparent display module 110 is mounted on the windshield structure 20 of a vehicle. The transparent display module 110 is both transparent and capable of displaying content. The windshield structure 20 may be, for example, the windshield of a vehicle, and the transparent display module 110 may be adhered to the windshield. The size of the transparent display module 110 may be the same as the overall size of the windshield structure 20, or the same as a portion of the windshield structure 20.

[0050] The transparent display module 110 is electrically connected to the first control module 120, which is used to control the transparent display module 110 to display preset content.

[0051] In this embodiment, the transparent display module 110 is installed on the vehicle’s inherent windshield structure 20 as a carrier, so that the windshield structure 20 can be used to display content in a reasonable way, increasing the display size of the vehicle display device and improving the convenience of viewing.

[0052] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the transparent display module 110 includes a display screen 1101 and a protective cover 1102. The display surface of the display screen 1101 is connected to the protective cover 1102, and the non-display surface of the display screen 1101 is connected to the front windshield structure 20.

[0053] Display screen 1101 can be, for example, an OLED transparent display screen or an LCD transparent display screen. OLED displays offer significant advantages in the manufacturing process of transparent screens, therefore, most mass-produced transparent display screens are OLED transparent display screens. The following embodiments use an OLED transparent display screen as an example for illustration.

[0054] The protective cover 1102 can be, for example, protective glass, used to protect the display screen 1101.

[0055] In one exemplary embodiment, reference is still made to... Figure 1 The protective cover 1102 is equipped with a touch module, which is electrically connected to the first control module 120.

[0056] In this embodiment, the touch module may be a capacitive touchscreen, which is integrated on the protective cover 1102. In other embodiments, the capacitive touchscreen may also be integrated on the display screen 1101.

[0057] The touch module receives user touch operations and determines the touch position based on the operation. The first control module 120 receives the touch position information and issues corresponding control commands to control the display screen 1101 to display the corresponding content in conjunction with the touch operation. This effectively improves the convenience of controlling the display device during the display process.

[0058] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the transparent display module 110 includes multiple display areas 111, and the first control module 120 is used to control the display of at least one display area 111.

[0059] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the transparent display module 110 includes two display areas 111, one for the driver's seat and one for the passenger's seat. Under the control of the first control module 120, during driving, the display area 111 corresponding to the driver's seat can be turned off, and only the display area 111 corresponding to the passenger's seat can be turned on.

[0060] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the transparent display module 110 includes three display areas 111, distributed according to the driver's left, center, and right positions. Under the control of the first control module 120, the three display areas 111 can display the scenes to the left rear, directly rear, and right rear of the vehicle, respectively.

[0061] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the transparent display module 110 includes four display areas 111 evenly arranged. Under the control of the first control module 120, it is easy to control the four display areas 111 to display the same or different road condition information.

[0062] The transparent display module 110 may include multiple displays, which are spliced ​​together to form a single transparent display module 110. The spliced ​​transparent display module 110 is adapted to the size of the windshield structure 20. Each display forms a display area 111, and the first control module 120 may integrate a chip for controlling each display.

[0063] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the display device in this embodiment further includes: a wireless communication module 130 and / or a wired connection port (not shown in the figure). The first control module 120 is connected to the terminal device through the wireless communication module 130 or the wired connection port.

[0064] The wireless communication module 130 can be, for example, a Wi-Fi module, and the first control module 120 connects wirelessly to the terminal device through the wireless communication module 130. It is understood that the wireless communication module 130 and the terminal device can be connected to the same routing network.

[0065] The wired connection port can be, for example, a USB interface. The first control module 120 connects to the terminal device via the wired connection port.

[0066] The terminal device can be an electronic device such as a mobile phone, tablet computer, or laptop computer. In this embodiment, the terminal device is wirelessly or wiredly connected to the display device, enabling the display of the terminal device's screen to be extended through the display device.

[0067] In one exemplary embodiment, this disclosure also proposes a vehicle, such as Figures 5 to 6 As shown, the vehicle in this embodiment includes a second control module 30 and a display device 10 as described above. The first control module 120 of the display device 10 is communicatively connected to the second control module 30.

[0068] The second control module 30 refers to, for example, the vehicle's main control system or main processor, used to issue overall control commands. For instance, the first control module 120 can control the transparent display module 110 to display based on the control commands from the second control module 30.

[0069] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the vehicle also includes: a third control module 40 and a central control display panel 50.

[0070] The central control display panel 50 is electrically connected to the third control module 40, which controls the display on the central control display panel 50. The third control module 40 is communicatively connected to the second control module 30.

[0071] The second control module 30 issues control commands, and the third control module 40 controls the central control display panel 50 to display according to the control commands. In conjunction with the foregoing embodiments, the first control module 120 can also control the transparent display module 110 to display according to the corresponding control commands from the second control module 30.

[0072] In one example, the second control module 30 issues unified control commands, and the third control module 40 controls the central control display panel 50 to display according to the control commands. At the same time, the first control module 120 controls the transparent display module 110 to display synchronously.

[0073] In another example, the second control module 30 issues control commands for separate control, the third control module 40 controls the central control display panel 50 to display independently according to the control commands, and the first control module 120 controls the transparent display module 110 to display independently according to the control commands.

[0074] In one exemplary embodiment, the vehicle further includes a rearview mirror display module. The rearview mirror display module is electrically connected to a second control module, which controls the display of the rearview mirror display module. In this embodiment, multiple display components, including the windshield, center console, and rearview mirror, can be displayed, further enhancing the convenience of in-vehicle displays.

[0075] In one exemplary embodiment, this disclosure also proposes a display control method applied to a vehicle. The method of this embodiment may specifically include the following steps:

[0076] S110, Control the transparent display module to display preset content.

[0077] The transparent display module is mounted on the vehicle's windshield structure.

[0078] Combination Figure 6As shown, in this step, the vehicle's second control module 30 issues a control command, and the first control module 120 of the display device controls the transparent display module 110 to display preset content according to the control command. The preset content may include, for example, navigation information, traffic information, and entertainment messages.

[0079] In one exemplary embodiment, the transparent display module includes multiple display areas. In this embodiment, step S110 specifically includes the following steps:

[0080] S1101. In response to a preset driving state, control at least one display area of ​​the transparent display module to display preset content.

[0081] In step S1101, the content displayed in different display areas of the transparent display module may be the same or different. The preset driving state may be, for example, normal driving state, idle state (non-driving state), or driving state that requires accurate knowledge of the vehicle's surrounding environment, such as reversing or overtaking.

[0082] In this step, the second control module can automatically acquire driving information (such as driving speed or direction) to determine the driving status. Alternatively, the second control module can determine the driving status based on user operation commands. Based on the determined driving status, the second control module controls at least one display area of ​​the transparent display module to display preset content.

[0083] In the first example, this example applies to scenarios in normal driving conditions or idle conditions.

[0084] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the transparent display module 110 includes two display areas 111 (A and B), with one display area 111 corresponding to the driver's seat and the other to the passenger seat.

[0085] In the idle state, the second control module 30 issues a first control command, and the first control module 120 controls the two display areas 111 to synchronously display preset content according to the first control command. The preset content may be entertainment information such as audio and video.

[0086] In normal driving conditions, the second control module 30 issues a second control command, and the first control module 120 controls the display area 111 corresponding to the driver's seat to be turned off according to the second control command, and only controls the display area 111 corresponding to the passenger seat to display preset content; the preset content is, for example, the road conditions ahead or navigation information.

[0087] In this normal driving state, based on the user's operation, the second control module 30 can also control the display area 111 corresponding to the passenger seat to display audio and video files from the terminal device. This facilitates split-screen display during driving, providing entertainment for the passenger while ensuring the driver is not disturbed, thus guaranteeing driving safety.

[0088] In the second example, this example is applicable to the scenario of reversing, where a comprehensive understanding of the vehicle's surroundings is required to provide the driver with accurate vehicle environment information.

[0089] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the transparent display module 110 includes three display areas 111, which are distributed according to the driver's left, center and right positions.

[0090] In this example, the second control module 30 issues a third control command, and the first control module 120 controls the three display areas 111 to display different content according to the third control command. For example, the left display area displays road condition information to the left rear of the vehicle, the middle display area displays road condition information to the directly rear of the vehicle, and the right display area displays road condition information to the right rear of the vehicle.

[0091] In this example, after the second control module determines the road condition information in each direction, it can determine the distance between the vehicle and obstacles and control the display of these distances on the transparent display module. The user then judges whether the distance is safe. Upon receiving the user's instruction to confirm that the distance is safe, the second control module terminates the segmented display process in this example.

[0092] Alternatively, the second control module can acquire real-time road condition information from different display areas and provide safe driving suggestions to the driver based on this information, displaying them on the transparent display module for the driver's reference. These safe driving suggestions may include, for example, distance information to obstacles around the vehicle.

[0093] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the transparent display module includes multiple display areas. The method in this embodiment may specifically include the following steps:

[0094] S210, The central control display panel displays preset content.

[0095] S220, control at least one display area of ​​the transparent display module to synchronously display preset content with the central control display panel.

[0096] In step S210, based on the user's operation instructions, the vehicle's second control module can first control the center console to power on. After powering on, the second control module issues corresponding control commands based on further user operation commands, and the third control module controls the center console display panel to display preset content according to the control commands.

[0097] In step S220, the second control module can issue the same control command to the first control module, and the first control module controls at least one display area of ​​the transparent display module to synchronously display the display content of the central control display panel.

[0098] In this embodiment, the transparent display module can first display the preset content as a whole, and then the second control module controls the transparent display module or the central control display panel to display the prompt message "whether it is necessary to display in different areas".

[0099] Users can input selection information via touch on the transparent display module or on the central control display panel. Based on the user's commands, the transparent display module can either maintain its overall display of preset content or allow users to select any specific display area to show preset content.

[0100] Based on the user's operation instructions, if there is no need for regional display, the second control module issues corresponding control instructions, and the first control module controls the transparent display module to display synchronously with the central control display panel.

[0101] According to the user's operation instructions, if it is necessary to display in different areas, the second control module adjusts the control instructions to control one or more display areas of the transparent display module to display preset content synchronously, while the remaining display areas are turned off or display other content.

[0102] In a specific example, combined Figure 2 As shown, the transparent display module 110 includes two display areas 111, with one display area 111 corresponding to the driver's seat and the other to the passenger seat.

[0103] In this example, when the user selects to display in separate areas, the second control module can control the two display areas 111 to display different content respectively.

[0104] In the first scenario, the second control module issues a fourth control command. The first and third control modules simultaneously receive the fourth control command, and the corresponding display area 111 in the transparent control display module corresponding to the passenger seat displays preset content synchronously with the central control display panel. The preset content could be, for example, traffic information or global navigation information.

[0105] In this scenario, the second control module can also issue a fifth control command to the first control module, which then controls the display area 111 corresponding to the driver's seat to either turn off or display other content. This other content could include, for example, partial navigation information.

[0106] In the second scenario, the second control module issues corresponding control commands, and the first control module controls the display area 111 corresponding to the driver's seat to synchronously display preset content with the central control display panel. The preset content could be, for example, traffic information or navigation information.

[0107] In this scenario, the second control module can also issue control commands to cause the first control module to control the display area 111 corresponding to the passenger seat to display content unrelated to driving information. For example, when the display device is connected to the terminal device, the first control module controls the display area 111 corresponding to the passenger seat to display media files from the terminal device, serving as an extended screen for the mobile terminal device.

[0108] In one exemplary embodiment, this disclosure also proposes a display control device applied to a vehicle. The device includes a control module. The control module controls a transparent display module to display preset content, and the transparent display module is mounted on the vehicle's windshield structure.

[0109] In this embodiment, the transparent display module includes multiple display areas, and the control module is further configured to: control the central control display panel to display preset content. Specifically, the control module is configured to: control at least one display area of ​​the transparent display module to synchronously display preset content with the central control display panel.

[0110] In this embodiment, the control module is specifically used to: control at least one display area of ​​the transparent display module to display in response to a preset driving state. The display content of different display areas of the transparent display module may be the same or different.
