Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive technology, specifically to an automotive ambient light with touch-screen display function and an automotive vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Current automotive ambient lighting touch control devices typically include: a touch screen module, a microprocessor module, and an automotive ambient lighting module.

[0003] The microprocessor module connects to the capacitive touchscreen module via a serial port, and also connects to the automotive ambient lighting via a LIN port. The touchscreen module can illuminate the ambient lights using commonly used colors and by inputting a color brightness. Current technology generally only allows control of the ambient lighting's illumination and effects via the touchscreen, and cannot provide a dedicated display function for the ambient lighting.

[0004] In addition, the mainstream display or interactive functions that can be used for in-vehicle ambient lighting are dot matrix or pixel LEDs. These ambient lights can usually only adjust the atmosphere of the car by displaying different colors, which is a single function and results in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides an automotive ambient light and a car with touch-development function, which solves the technical problems of limited functionality and poor user experience in related technologies.

[0006] According to a first aspect of this application, a car ambient light with touch-development function is provided, comprising: a display layer, a light-emitting layer, and a magnetic layer. The display layer includes: a magnetic fluorescent element and multiple receiving cavities, the multiple receiving cavities being arranged in an array at intervals, and each receiving cavity containing a magnetic fluorescent element; the magnetic fluorescent element is movable within the receiving cavity along a first direction; the light-emitting layer is arranged along the first direction with the display layer, and the light-emitting layer includes: a light source and a magnetic conductor, the light source emitting light that illuminates the receiving cavity on the side away from the light-emitting layer; the magnetic conductor generates a magnetic field when energized; the magnetic layer is located on the side of the display layer away from the light-emitting layer and is spaced apart from the display layer; when a first position of the magnetic layer is pressed, the magnetic fluorescent element within the pressed area of ​​the display layer moves from the side closer to the light-emitting layer to the side closer to the magnetic layer under the magnetic attraction of the magnetic layer, the pressed area being the projection area of ​​the first position of the magnetic layer on the display layer. The magnetic field attracts the magnetic fluorescent element from the side closer to the magnetic layer to the side closer to the light-emitting layer.

[0007] Based on the aforementioned technical means, when a user needs to touch-screen the car ambient light, they can press and slide their finger on the magnetic layer to reduce the distance between the magnetic layer and the display layer. The magnetic layer then attracts the magnetic phosphor component, moving it from the side closer to the light-emitting layer to the side closer to the magnetic layer. Thus, following the trajectory of the hand's movement, the magnetic phosphor component on the display layer corresponding to the magnetic layer is attracted to the side closer to the magnetic layer. The light source illuminates the cavity from the side away from the light-emitting layer (i.e., the side closer to the magnetic layer), exciting the fluorescent material of the magnetic phosphor component and generating new light emission that illuminates the car interior. The user can then observe the trajectory of their finger pressing and sliding. Users can write text or draw simple graphics on the magnetic layer, enabling personalized display illumination.

[0008] Additionally, when users need to erase or develop the ambient lighting in a car, they can energize the magnetic conductor to create a magnetic field opposite to the magnetic poles of the magnetic fluorescent element. This magnetic field will attract and move the magnetic fluorescent element inside the cavity from the side closer to the magnetic layer to the side closer to the light-emitting layer. In this way, the light emitted by the light source cannot excite the magnetic fluorescent element inside the cavity, thus completing the erasing or developing function. This makes it easier for users to redraw the lighting next time and improves the user experience.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the light source includes a first light source and a second light source, which are arranged at intervals along a second direction and located on opposite sides of the magnetic conductor, with the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction.

[0010] According to the above-mentioned technical means, the two light sources are respectively set on opposite sides of the magnetic conductive component to ensure that the light emitted by the light source can illuminate the side of the receiving cavity away from the light-emitting layer.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the automotive ambient light further includes a support plate on which the magnetic conductive element, the first light source, and the second light source are all disposed.

[0012] According to the above-mentioned technical means, the support plate can support and fix the magnetic conductive component, the first light source and the second light source, and prevent the magnetic conductive component, the first light source and the second light source from shaking.

[0013] In one possible implementation, both the first light source and the second light source are light-emitting diodes (LEDs).

[0014] Based on the above technical means, since LEDs have advantages such as long lifespan, high luminous efficiency, low radiation and low power consumption, when both the first light source and the second light source are light-emitting diodes, the lifespan of the automotive ambient lights can be improved and the energy consumption of the automotive ambient lights can be reduced.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the multiple accommodating cavities are shaped like regular hexagonal prisms, with the two bottom surfaces surrounding the regular hexagonal prisms arranged along a first direction, and the multiple accommodating cavities are arranged in a matrix.

[0016] Based on the above technical means, the gaps between the cavities are small, and a sufficient number of cavities can be set on a display layer of a certain area. The magnetic fluorescent components in the cavities constitute the pixels of the ambient light. The more pixels per unit area, the clearer the displayed picture, and thus the better the user's visual experience.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the automotive ambient light includes: an interior trim layer disposed on the side of the magnetic layer away from the display layer and attached to the magnetic layer.

[0018] Based on the aforementioned technical means, this interior layer is used to decorate the car ambient lighting, cover the internal components of the car ambient lighting, and improve the user's visual experience.

[0019] In one possible implementation, both the magnetic layer and the interior trim layer have multiple light-transmitting holes.

[0020] Based on the aforementioned technical means, since multiple light-transmitting holes are opened on both the magnetic layer and the interior layer, the light emitted from the display layer can better pass through the magnetic layer and the interior layer, thereby improving the light emission rate and ensuring that the brightness of the car ambient light is sufficient for the user to observe.

[0021] According to a second aspect provided in this application, an automobile is provided, comprising: an automotive ambient light with touch-screen functionality as described in the first aspect above.

[0022] Based on the aforementioned technical means, when a user needs to touch-screen the car ambient light, they can press and slide their finger on the magnetic layer to reduce the distance between the magnetic layer and the display layer. The magnetic layer then attracts the magnetic phosphor element, moving it from the side closer to the light-emitting layer to the side closer to the magnetic layer. Thus, following the trajectory of the hand's movement, the magnetic phosphor element on the display layer corresponding to the magnetic layer is attracted to the side closer to the magnetic layer. The light source illuminates the cavity from the side away from the light-emitting layer (i.e., the side closer to the magnetic layer), exciting the fluorescent material of the magnetic phosphor element and generating new light that illuminates the car interior. The user can then observe the trajectory of their finger pressing and sliding. Users can write text or draw simple graphics on the magnetic layer, enabling personalized display illumination.

[0023] In addition, when users need to erase or develop the car ambient lights, they can energize the magnetic conductor to create a magnetic field opposite to the magnetic poles of the magnetic fluorescent element. This magnetic field will attract and move the magnetic fluorescent element in the cavity from the side near the magnetic layer to the side near the light-emitting layer. In this way, the light emitted by the light source cannot excite the magnetic fluorescent element in the cavity, thus completing the erasure function and making it easier for users to redraw the lights next time, improving the user's experience with the car.

[0024] In one possible implementation, the vehicle also includes an in-vehicle infotainment system that is electrically connected to the vehicle's ambient lighting.

[0025] Based on the aforementioned technical means, users can control the car's ambient lighting through the vehicle's infotainment system, making it convenient for users to operate the car's ambient lighting.

[0026] In one possible implementation, the vehicle further includes: a connector, one end of which is electrically connected to the vehicle infotainment system, and the other end of which is electrically connected to both the light source and the magnetic conductor; the vehicle infotainment system is capable of controlling whether the light source is turned on or off, and the vehicle infotainment system is also capable of controlling whether the magnetic conductor is energized.

[0027] Based on the above-mentioned technical means, the vehicle infotainment system of this application is electrically connected to the light source and the magnetic conductor through a connector, thereby facilitating the circuit connection between the vehicle infotainment system and the light source and the magnetic conductor.

[0028] Therefore, the above-mentioned technical features of this application have the following beneficial effects:

[0029] (1) When a user needs to touch-develop the car ambient light, the user can press and slide their finger on the magnetic layer to reduce the distance between the magnetic layer and the display layer. The magnetic layer can attract the magnetic phosphor to move from the side closer to the light-emitting layer to the side closer to the magnetic layer. Thus, with the sliding trajectory of the hand, the magnetic phosphor on the display layer corresponding to the magnetic layer is attracted to the side closer to the magnetic layer. The light source is positioned so that the cavity is away from the light-emitting layer (i.e., closer to the magnetic layer). The fluorescent material of the magnetic phosphor is excited by the light source, generating new light that illuminates the car interior, allowing the user to observe the trajectory of their finger pressing and sliding. The user can write text or draw simple graphics on the magnetic layer, thus enabling personalized display illumination. Additionally, when users need to erase or develop the ambient lighting in a car, they can energize the magnetic conductor to create a magnetic field opposite to the magnetic poles of the magnetic fluorescent element. This magnetic field will attract and move the magnetic fluorescent element inside the cavity from the side closer to the magnetic layer to the side closer to the light-emitting layer. In this way, the light emitted by the light source cannot excite the magnetic fluorescent element inside the cavity, thus completing the erasing or developing function. This makes it easier for users to redraw the lighting next time and improves the user experience.

[0030] (2) Since LEDs have advantages such as long lifespan, high luminous efficiency, low radiation and low power consumption, when both the first light source and the second light source are light-emitting diodes, the lifespan of the car ambient light can be increased and the energy consumption of the car ambient light can be reduced.

[0031] (3) Since the multiple receiving cavities are shaped like regular hexagonal prisms, with the two bottom surfaces surrounding the regular hexagonal prisms arranged along the first direction, and the multiple receiving cavities are arranged in a matrix. In this way, the gaps between the receiving cavities are small, and a sufficient number of receiving cavities can be set on a display layer of a certain area. The magnetic fluorescent elements in the receiving cavities constitute the pixels of the ambient light. The more pixels per unit area, the clearer the displayed image, and thus the better the user's visual experience.

[0032] (4) Since multiple light-transmitting holes are provided on both the magnetic layer and the interior layer, the light emitted from the display layer can pass through the magnetic layer and the interior layer better, thereby improving the light emission rate and ensuring that the brightness of the car ambient light is sufficient for the user to observe.

[0033] (5) When a user needs to touch-develop the car ambient light, the user can press and slide their finger on the magnetic layer to reduce the distance between the magnetic layer and the display layer. The magnetic layer can attract the magnetic phosphors located on it to move from the side closer to the light-emitting layer to the side closer to the magnetic layer. Thus, following the trajectory of the hand movement, the magnetic phosphors on the display layer corresponding to the magnetic layer are attracted to the side closer to the magnetic layer. The light source illuminates the cavity away from the light-emitting layer (i.e., closer to the magnetic layer), and the fluorescent material of the magnetic phosphors is excited by the light source, generating new light that illuminates the car interior. The user can then observe the trajectory of their finger pressing and sliding. The user can write text or draw simple graphics on the magnetic layer, thus enabling personalized display illumination.

[0034] In addition, when users need to erase or develop the car ambient lights, they can energize the magnetic conductor to create a magnetic field opposite to the magnetic poles of the magnetic fluorescent element. This magnetic field will attract and move the magnetic fluorescent element in the cavity from the side near the magnetic layer to the side near the light-emitting layer. In this way, the light emitted by the light source cannot excite the magnetic fluorescent element in the cavity, thus completing the erasure function and making it easier for users to redraw the lights next time, improving the user's experience with the car.

[0041] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0043] With the development of the times, people are increasingly aspiring to a smart lifestyle. And cars have already entered thousands of households, bringing great convenience to people's travel.

[0044] Current automotive ambient lighting is typically installed inside the vehicle and controlled via a touchscreen to adjust the lighting and effects, thus regulating the cabin atmosphere. However, ambient lighting usually only displays different colors to adjust the ambiance, resulting in limited functionality and a poor user experience.

[0045] In response to this, firstly, this application provides a car ambient light with a touch-screen display function. This ambient light allows users to write text or draw patterns on its interior panel according to their preferences. This enhances the human-vehicle interaction experience, greatly enriches the application scenarios of the ambient light, and satisfies more personalized expression of interests. For example, users can write their motto, draw simple patterns they want to express, or write birthday wishes for the front passenger, etc.

[0046] Optionally, the ambient light can be positioned directly in front of the passenger seat, for example, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the car ambient light 100 is installed on the trim panel in front of the passenger seat. This makes it convenient for the passenger to write text or draw patterns on the car ambient light 100.

[0047] Optionally, the ambient light 100 can also be positioned on the right side of the passenger seat, that is, on the passenger-side door. This application does not limit this, and the position of the ambient light 100 can be set according to specific circumstances.

[0048] Figure 2 This application provides a schematic diagram of the structure of an automotive ambient light according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the automotive ambient light 100 may include a display layer 10, a light-emitting layer 20, and a magnetic layer 30. The magnetic layer 30 is located on the side of the display layer 10 away from the light-emitting layer 20.

[0049] The display layer 10 includes a magnetic fluorescent element and multiple receiving cavities 11. The magnetic fluorescent element can be multiple magnetic fluorescent particles, or it can be magnetic fluorescent powder; this application does not limit the specific type.

[0050] in, Figure 2 The cavity 11 shown is only an example. In a specific automotive ambient light 100 structure, the magnetic layer 30 is provided with the cavity 11 in the projection area of ​​the display layer 10.

[0051] Additionally, the magnetic fluorescent element can be a magnetic element coated with a fluorescent material. Optionally, the magnetic fluorescent element can be magnetic with a north (N) pole. Optionally, the magnetic fluorescent element can also be magnetic with a south (S) pole; this application does not limit this.

[0052] Multiple receiving cavities 11 can be formed on the plate, and the multiple receiving cavities 11 formed on the plate are arranged in an array at intervals, and each of the multiple receiving cavities 11 is provided with a magnetic fluorescent element. The gaps in the receiving cavities 11 can extend along a first direction, so that the magnetic fluorescent element can move along the first direction within the receiving cavity 11.

[0053] Optionally, the multiple accommodating cavities 11 can be in the shape of a regular hexagonal prism cavity, with the two bottom surfaces surrounding the regular hexagonal prism cavity arranged along a first direction. Figure 3 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of the arrangement of multiple receiving cavities according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the multiple receiving cavities 11 are arranged in a matrix, that is, the multiple receiving cavities 11 are arranged along a surface perpendicular to the first direction, and the multiple regular hexagonal prism cavities interlock with each other to form the display layer 10.

[0054] Since the multiple receiving cavities 11 are shaped like regular hexagonal prisms, with the two bottom surfaces surrounding the prisms arranged along the first direction, and the multiple receiving cavities 11 arranged in a matrix, the edges of the three walls surrounding the hexagonal prisms can perfectly mesh (i.e., without gaps), and the gaps between the edges of the multiple receiving cavities 11 are small. Therefore, a sufficient number of receiving cavities 11 can be set on a display layer 10 of a certain area. The magnetic fluorescent elements inside the receiving cavities 11 constitute the pixels of the ambient light. The more pixels per unit area, the clearer the displayed image, and thus the better the user's visual experience.

[0055] Optionally, the plurality of receiving cavities 11 can be cylindrical cavities, with the two bottom surfaces forming the cylindrical cavity arranged along the first direction. Optionally, the plurality of receiving cavities 11 can be cuboid cavities, and this application does not limit the shape of them.

[0056] For ease of description, the shape of the receiving cavity 11 in this application will be described below using a regular hexagonal prism cavity as an example.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, the light-emitting layer 20 and the display layer 10 are along the first direction (i.e., Figure 2 The light-emitting layer 20 is arranged along the X-axis direction, that is, the two bottom surfaces forming the regular hexagonal prism cavity are arranged along the first direction. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the light-emitting layer 20 may include a light source 21 and a magnetic conductor 22. The light source 21 is capable of emitting light, and the light emitted by the light source 21 can illuminate the side of the receiving cavity 11 away from the light-emitting layer 20.

[0058] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the light source 21 may include: a first light source 211 and a second light source 212, the first light source 211 and the second light source 212 being along a second direction (i.e. Figure 2 The magnetic conductors are arranged at intervals along the Z-axis and are located on opposite sides of the magnetic conductor 22, with the second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

[0059] To ensure that the light emitted by the light source 21 can illuminate the side of the housing 11 away from the light-emitting layer 20, such as... Figure 2 As shown, both the first light source 211 and the second light source 212 can extend towards the receiving cavity 11, so that the light emitted by the light sources 211 and 212 can travel along a direction perpendicular to the direction of the cavity 11. Figure 2 The light is incident along the X-axis direction onto the side of the accommodating cavity 11 away from the light-emitting layer 20.

[0060] In this way, the two light sources 21 are respectively set on opposite sides of the magnetic conductor 22 to ensure that the light emitted by the light source 21 can illuminate the side of the receiving cavity 11 away from the light-emitting layer 20.

[0061] In another possible implementation, the light source may include: a first light source, a second light source, a third light source, and a fourth light source, wherein the first light source, the second light source, the third light source, and the fourth light source are... Figure 2 The magnetic conductor 22 is arranged around the plane formed by the Y-axis and Z-axis to ensure that the light emitted by the light source 21 can illuminate the side of the receiving cavity 11 away from the light-emitting layer 20.

[0062] In addition, the car ambient light 100 may also include a support plate, on which the magnetic conductive element 22, the first light source 211 and the second light source 212 are all disposed.

[0063] In this way, the support plate can support and fix the magnetic conductive component 22, the first light source 211 and the second light source 212, and prevent the magnetic conductive component 22, the first light source 211 and the second light source 212 from shaking.

[0064] Furthermore, the magnetic conductive element 22 generates a magnetic field when energized. The magnetic conductive element 22 can be a magnet that can generate magnetism when energized. When energized, the magnetic conductive element 22 can generate a magnetic field with N poles and S poles. This magnetic field can be formed on the surface of the support plate and is arranged along the first direction with the display layer 10.

[0065] Understandably, when the magnetic phosphor has an N-pole magnetism, the S-pole magnetic field formed by the magnetic conductor 22 is closer to the display layer 10 than the N-pole magnetic field. This ensures that when the magnetic conductor 22 is energized, the S-pole magnetic field can attract the magnetic phosphor from the side closer to the magnetic layer 30 to the side closer to the light-emitting layer 20. Similarly, when the magnetic phosphor has an S-pole magnetism, the N-pole magnetic field formed by the magnetic conductor 22 is closer to the display layer 10 than the S-pole magnetic field. This also ensures that when the magnetic conductor 22 is energized, the N-pole magnetic field can attract the magnetic phosphor from the side closer to the magnetic layer 30 to the side closer to the light-emitting layer 20.

[0066] Optionally, the first light source 21 and the second light source 21 described above can be LEDs. The first light source 21 and the second light source 21 can be LED light strips, each composed of multiple LED beads, and the light emitted by the LED beads can illuminate and excite the magnetic phosphor for development.

[0067] Because LEDs have advantages such as long lifespan, high luminous efficiency, low radiation and low power consumption, when both the first light source 21 and the second light source 21 are light-emitting diodes, the lifespan of the automotive ambient light 100 can be improved and the energy consumption of the automotive ambient light 100 can be reduced.

[0068] Furthermore, the magnetic layer 30 is located on the side of the display layer 10 away from the light-emitting layer 20 and is spaced apart from the display layer 10; that is, there is a gap between the magnetic layer 30 and the display layer 10. When the first position of the magnetic layer 30 is pressed, the magnetic phosphor in the pressed area of ​​the display layer 10 moves from the side closer to the light-emitting layer 20 to the side closer to the magnetic layer 30 under the magnetic attraction of the magnetic layer 30. This pressed area is the projection area of ​​the first position of the magnetic layer 30 on the display layer 10.

[0069] The magnetic layer 30 can be a layered structure coated with magnetic material, and this layered structure is spaced apart from the display layer 10. It is understood that the magnetic poles of the magnetic material coated in the magnetic layer 30 are opposite to the magnetic poles of the magnetic phosphor. For example, when the magnetic phosphor has an N pole, the magnetic pole of the magnetic material coated in the magnetic layer 30 is the S pole. Conversely, when the magnetic phosphor has an S pole, the magnetic pole of the magnetic material coated in the magnetic layer 30 is the N pole.

[0070] The automotive ambient light 100 with touch display function provided in this application embodiment includes: a display layer 10, a light-emitting layer 20, and a magnetic layer 30. The display layer 10 includes a magnetic fluorescent element and multiple receiving cavities 11 arranged in an array at intervals, and each receiving cavity 11 is provided with a magnetic fluorescent element; the magnetic fluorescent element can move along a first direction within the receiving cavity 11; the light-emitting layer 20 is arranged along the first direction with the display layer 10, and the light-emitting layer 20 includes a light source 21 and a magnetic conductor 22, the light source 21 can emit light, and the light emitted by the light source 21 can illuminate the side of the receiving cavity 11 away from the light-emitting layer 20; the magnetic conductor 22 forms a magnetic field when energized; the magnetic layer 30 is located on the side of the display layer 10 away from the light-emitting layer 20 and is spaced apart from the display layer 10; when the first position of the magnetic layer 30 is pressed, the magnetic fluorescent element in the pressed area of ​​the display layer 10 moves from the side closer to the light-emitting layer 20 to the side closer to the magnetic layer 30 under the magnetic attraction of the magnetic layer 30, and the pressed area is the projection area of ​​the first position of the magnetic layer 30 on the display layer 10. The magnetic field can attract the magnetic phosphor to move from the side near the magnetic layer 30 to the side near the light-emitting layer 20.

[0071] When a user needs to touch-develop the car ambient light 100, they can press and slide their finger on the magnetic layer 30 to reduce the distance between the magnetic layer 30 and the display layer 10. The magnetic layer 30 then attracts the magnetic phosphor element from the side closer to the light-emitting layer 20 to the side closer to the magnetic layer 30. Thus, as the hand slides along the path, the magnetic phosphor element of the display layer 10 corresponding to the magnetic layer 30 is attracted to the side closer to the magnetic layer 30. The light source 21 illuminates the cavity 11 away from the light-emitting layer 20 (i.e., closer to the magnetic layer 30), exciting the fluorescent material of the magnetic phosphor element and generating new light that illuminates the car interior. The user can then observe the path of their finger pressing and sliding. The user can write text or draw simple graphics on the magnetic layer 30 for personalized display illumination.

[0072] In addition, when the user needs to erase the car ambient light 100, the magnetic conductor 22 can be energized to form a magnetic field opposite to the magnetic pole of the magnetic fluorescent element. This magnetic field will attract and move the magnetic fluorescent element in the housing cavity 11 from the side near the magnetic layer 30 to the side near the light-emitting layer 20. In this way, the light emitted by the light source 21 cannot excite the magnetic fluorescent element in the housing cavity 11, thus completing the erasure function, which is convenient for the user to draw next time and improves the user experience.

[0073] In some embodiments, the automotive ambient light 100 may further include an interior trim layer disposed on the side of the magnetic layer 30 away from the display layer 10 and attached to the display layer 10. The interior trim layer may be a flexible decorative material such as leather.

[0074] In this way, the interior layer is used to decorate the car ambient light 100, cover the internal components of the car ambient light 100, and improve the user's visual experience.

[0075] To improve the light transmittance of the magnetic layer 30 and the interior trim layer, in some embodiments, the magnetic layer 30 and the interior trim layer are provided with a plurality of light-transmitting holes 31. Light emitted from the display layer 10 can pass through the light-transmitting holes 31 and be emitted.

[0076] In this way, the light emitted from the display layer 10 can pass through the magnetic layer 30 and the interior layer, thereby increasing the light emissivity and the brightness of the car ambient light 100.

[0077] In one possible implementation, the multiple light-transmitting holes 31 on the magnetic layer 30 correspond one-to-one with the multiple light-transmitting holes 31 on the interior layer. In this way, the light emitted from the display layer 10 can pass through the light-transmitting holes 31 of the magnetic layer 30 and the light-transmitting holes 31 of the interior layer, thereby improving the light emissivity and ensuring that the brightness of the car ambient light 100 is sufficient for the user to observe.

[0078] In other embodiments, the interior layer can be made of a material with high light transmittance, such as PVC or acrylic, and this application does not limit this.

[0079] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide an automobile, which includes: an ambient light 100 with a touch-development function.

[0080] The specific structure of the car ambient light 100 with touch display function can be referred to the first aspect above, and will not be described in detail here.

[0081] In this way, when a user needs to touch-develop the car ambient light 100, the user can press and slide their finger on the magnetic layer 30 to reduce the distance between the magnetic layer 30 and the display layer 10. The magnetic layer 30 can then attract the magnetic phosphor element located near the light-emitting layer 20 to the side near the magnetic layer 30. Thus, with the sliding trajectory of the hand, the magnetic phosphor element of the display layer 10 corresponding to the magnetic layer 30 is attracted to the side near the magnetic layer 30. The illumination position of the light source 21 is on the side of the receiving cavity 11 away from the light-emitting layer 20 (that is, the side near the magnetic layer 30). The fluorescent material of the magnetic phosphor element is excited by the light source 21, generating new light emission that illuminates the car interior, allowing the user to observe the development of their finger's pressing and sliding trajectory. The user can write text or draw simple graphics on the magnetic layer, thus enabling personalized display illumination.

[0082] In addition, when the user needs to erase the car ambient light 100, the magnetic conductor 22 can be energized to form a magnetic field opposite to the magnetic pole of the magnetic fluorescent element. This magnetic field will attract and move the magnetic fluorescent element in the housing cavity 11 from the side near the magnetic layer 30 to the side near the light-emitting layer 20. In this way, the light emitted by the light source 21 cannot excite the magnetic fluorescent element in the housing cavity 11, thus completing the erasure function, making it convenient for the user to draw next time and improving the user's experience of the car.

[0083] In some embodiments, the vehicle further includes a vehicle infotainment system electrically connected to the vehicle ambient lighting 100. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the vehicle infotainment system 200 may include a controller 201 and a display screen 202, wherein the controller 201 is electrically connected to the display screen 202, and the controller 201 is also electrically connected to the vehicle ambient light 100.

[0084] The term "vehicle infotainment system 200" refers to the in-vehicle infotainment products installed in automobiles. Functionally, it enables communication between people and the vehicle, and between the vehicle and the outside world (vehicle-to-vehicle communication). With technological advancements, vehicle infotainment systems have evolved from early CD / DVD navigation systems to more intelligent and information-based systems. Currently, in addition to traditional radio, music and video playback, and navigation functions, they also incorporate 3G and Telematics capabilities. By integrating with the vehicle's CAN-BUS technology, they enhance user experience and improve service and safety features.

[0085] In this way, users can control the car ambient lighting 100 through the vehicle system 200, making it convenient for users to operate the car ambient lighting 100.

[0086] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 5 As shown, the vehicle also includes a connector 300, one end of which is electrically connected to the vehicle infotainment system 200, and the other end of which is electrically connected to both the light source 21 and the magnetic conductor 22. The vehicle infotainment system controls the illumination or extinguishing of the light source 21, and the vehicle infotainment system 200 can also control whether the magnetic conductor 22 is energized.

[0087] Thus, when a user wants to erase the existing design on the car ambient light 100 and create a new one, they can do so via the display screen 202 of the vehicle infotainment system 200. For example, the display screen 202 of the vehicle infotainment system 200 has an erasing control button. By clicking this button, the user can control the magnetic guide 22 of the ambient light to be energized, causing it to attract the magnetic fluorescent element, moving it from the side near the magnetic layer 30 to the side near the light-emitting layer 20. This completes the erasing process. When the user needs to create a new design, they can de-energize the magnetic guide 22, allowing them to create a new design.

[0088] Optionally, the vehicle infotainment system 200 may include an ambient light controller, which is electrically connected to an LED light strip. The LEDs on the LED light strip can be composed of red, green, and blue colors. The ambient light controller can control the LED light strip to produce different lighting effects such as color changing and breathing.

[0089] Thus, users can personalize the display screen of the vehicle system 200, making the content displayed by the car ambient light 100 also produce color-changing and breathing lighting effects, enriching the user's usage scenarios and interactions.

[0090] The above are merely specific embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
