[0040] Figures 1 to 5CA display interaction system 1 for a vehicle V and its components according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention are shown.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The display interaction system 1 includes a plurality of panels 11, 12, 13 and a cover plate 20. The plurality of panels 11, 12, 13 are spliced ​​with each other. The cover plate 20 is integrally formed and covers the user-facing surfaces of the plurality of panels 11, 12, 13. The plurality of panels 11, 12, 13 are configured to receive input from a user and / or provide output to a user, and the plurality of panels 11, 12, 13 communicate with an electronic control unit of a vehicle V.

[0042] The multiple panels 11, 12, 13 of the above-mentioned display interaction system 1 are covered by an integrally formed cover plate 20, which can provide an integrated visual effect, and allow the application requirements of different panels to be adapted by performing different surface treatments or color adjustments on different sections 21, 22, 23 of the cover plate 20 corresponding to different panels (for example, but not limited to, providing the transmittance, reflectivity, etc. required for good display effects through surface treatment), and the visual effects of different parts of the display interaction system 1 corresponding to different panels are more coordinated and unified by superimposing the visual effects of the cover plate 20 and the panels 11, 12, 13. In addition, the multiple panels 11, 12, 13 of the display interaction system 1 all communicate with the electronic control unit of the vehicle V, which, for example, can allow the user to control other panels by operating one panel, reduce the complexity of user operations, and also allow functional linkage between different panels.

[0043] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The display interaction system 1 may be arranged on the dashboard IP of the vehicle V. The display interaction system 1 may provide a display interaction interface visible to the user, so as to provide the user with various information, audio and video entertainment functions, driving assistance functions, and interactive functions.

[0044] One or more of the multiple panels 11, 12, 13 of the display interaction system 1 can receive input from the user, and the input received from the user can include at least one of the following: a) input through a mechanical input unit; b) touch input; c) voice input; d) gesture input; e) eye movement input; and f) input through a handheld device. The mechanical input unit can be a physical operation unit such as a key, a roller, a knob, or a joystick. The handheld device can be a portable electronic device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart watch, or a laptop. One or more of the multiple panels 11, 12, 13 of the display interaction system 1 can provide output for the user, and the output provided can include at least one of the following: a) text; b) graphics; c) images; d) numbers; e) lights; f) video; g) sound; and h) vibration.

[0045] In this document, unless otherwise specified, the display interaction system including multiple panels means that the display interaction system includes two or more panels. More specifically, the number of panels of the display interaction system can be, for example, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or more.

[0046] In some embodiments, each of the multiple panels 11, 12, 13 of the display interaction system 1 can be switched between an inactive state (off) in which no output is provided and an active state (on) in which an output is provided. The inactive state of the panel can be the off / sleep / standby state of the panel, and in the inactive state, the panel is usually dark. The active state of the panel can be the working state of the panel and can provide display content, multimedia content or interactive functions, and in the active state, the panel is usually lit and displays related images, text, icons or menus.

[0047] Any of the multiple panels 11, 12, 13 of the display interaction system 1 may be a display panel or a smart surface panel, wherein the display panel is mainly used to provide information, images, videos and / or multimedia content, and the smart surface panel is mainly used for interaction and / or control. In some embodiments, the multiple panels 11, 12, 13 may all be display panels. In other embodiments, the multiple panels 11, 12, 13 may include both display panels and smart surface panels.

[0048] The display panel can be a touch-sensitive or non-touch-sensitive display panel. A touch-sensitive display panel allows the user to interact and control by directly touching the screen. A non-touch-sensitive display panel can be operated by physical buttons, knobs, or controllers. The display panel can be a liquid crystal panel (LCD panel), an organic light-emitting diode panel (OLED panel), a micro light-emitting diode panel (MicroLED panel), a plasma display panel (PDP panel), a quantum dot display panel (QLED), a projection display panel (for example, for HUD devices), or other suitable display panels. The display panel can provide vehicle-related information, status, and function options. For example, the display panel can achieve one or more of the following functions: a) providing vehicle-related information, such as vehicle speed, battery level, fuel level, mileage, warnings or reminders; b) entertainment functions, such as providing entertainment methods such as broadcasting, video, audio, games, etc.; c) communication functions, such as Bluetooth connection, mobile phone screen projection, call functions, etc.; d) navigation functions, such as providing navigation maps and route instructions; e) driving assistance functions, that is, displaying information, status and warnings of driver assistance systems, such as adaptive cruise control status display, lane keeping assist system status display, parking assist system status display, anti-collision warning system status display, etc.; f) environmental monitoring functions, such as displaying information about the vehicle's surroundings; and g) providing vehicle settings and controls, such as allowing users to adjust seats, control air conditioning, control lights, etc.

[0049] The smart surface panel is an interactive surface panel in the vehicle, especially an interactive interior panel, which can enable the user to interact with the vehicle system. The smart surface panel usually has a touch operation unit or a physical operation unit, and has the characteristics of being touchable and operable. The user can interact with the panel through actions such as pressing, touching, sliding or rotating. The smart surface panel can realize one or more of the following functions: a) providing vehicle-related information such as vehicle speed, power, fuel level, warnings or reminders; b) communication functions, such as Bluetooth connection, call functions, etc.; and c) providing vehicle settings and controls, such as allowing the driver to perform multimedia control, seat adjustment, air conditioning control, lighting control, driving mode selection (such as economy mode or sports mode), auxiliary driving function selection (such as automatic parking), etc.

[0050] Reference Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the multiple panels of the display interaction system 1 include a first panel 11, two second panels 12, and two third panels 13. The two second panels 12 are substantially arranged on the left and right sides of the first panel 11 in the width direction of the vehicle V and are spaced apart from the first panel 11. Each third panel 13 is arranged between the first panel 11 and the second panel 12, and its two edges are spliced ​​with the first panel 11 and the second panel 12 respectively.

[0051] The first panel 11 can be configured for at least one of the main driver display, the central control display, and the co-driver display of the vehicle, and can realize one or more of the multiple functions described above (for example, providing vehicle-related information, entertainment functions, communication functions, navigation functions, driving assistance functions, environmental monitoring functions, and providing vehicle settings and controls). FIG. 3A to FIG. 3C In the illustrated embodiment, the first panel 11 includes a first section 111, a second section 112, and a third section 113. The first section 111 is configured for the main driver's display of the vehicle, the second section 112 is configured for the central control display of the vehicle, and the third section 113 is configured for the co-driver's display of the vehicle. The first section 111, the second section 112, and the third section 113 can each switch between an activated state and an inactivated state. It is understood that the configuration of the first panel is not limited thereto, and the first panel may include more or fewer sections.

[0052] The first panel 11 may be an LCD panel, an OLED panel, a MicroLED panel, a PDP panel or a QLED panel. In this case, the brightness / light source intensity of the display panel may be adjusted to provide a display effect that is comfortable to the eyes.

[0053] The first panel 11 may also be a projection display panel, and include a dimming layer with variable transmittance and a dimming layer transmittance control unit. In this case, the brightness / light source intensity of the display panel and the transmittance of the dimming layer of the display panel may be adjusted to provide a display effect that is comfortable for the eyes. The transmittance of the dimming layer may be adjusted according to the user's input or automatically adjusted (for example, automatically adjusted according to the ambient brightness detected by the sensor) to adjust the display effect of the projection display panel. For example, the transmittance of the dimming layer may be lowered to make the projected image have a better contrast, which may significantly improve the display effect when the external light is strong; for another example, the transmittance of the dimming layer may be increased to increase the transparency of the projection display panel to provide a wider field of view, allowing the user to see the overall shape, surface texture, and lighting of the instrument panel IP through the first panel 11. Optionally, in order to achieve a display effect with a higher contrast, the transmittance may be adjusted to less than 3%; in order to provide a better field of view, the transmittance may be adjusted to greater than 90%. Optionally, the dimming layer transmittance control unit may be electrically connected to the dimming layer, in other words, the dimming layer may adjust the transmittance under the control of an electrical signal. It is understandable that the adjustment method of the transmittance of the dimming layer is not limited to this, and the dimming layer can also adjust the transmittance under the control of a magnetic signal or mechanical control. Optionally, the dimming layer may include a plurality of dimming areas corresponding to the plurality of segments 111, 112, and 113 of the first panel 11, and the transmittance of the plurality of dimming areas is independently adjusted by the dimming layer transmittance control unit, which allows the visual effects of the plurality of segments 111, 112, and 113 of the first panel 11 to be adjusted separately. For example, when the passenger of the front passenger does not need to display information and wants to avoid distracting the driver, the transmittance of the dimming area of ​​the dimming layer corresponding to the third segment 113 for the passenger display can be adjusted to a higher value so that the third segment 113 becomes transparent and the display of the third segment 113 is turned off.

[0054] The second panel 12 can be configured to display monitoring images of the vehicle. The monitoring images of the vehicle are, for example, but not limited to, real-time images of the rear left and right sides of the vehicle, real-time images of the rear of the vehicle, blind spot area images, 360-degree panoramic images around the vehicle, traffic sign recognition system images, etc. Optionally, the second panel 12 can be set inside the vehicle near a conventional vehicle rearview mirror, such as being set close to the side of the vehicle body to conform to the user's conventional usage habits. It is understandable that the second panel 12 can also be set in other suitable locations. The second panel 12 can have a variety of display views and has functions such as delay-free high-definition digital transmission, blind spot detection, and door opening warning.

[0055] The third panel 13 may be a smart surface panel. The smart surface panel may include a light source and a covering layer covering the light source, and the covering layer may have a light-transmitting area. When the smart surface panel is in an unactivated state, the light source of the smart surface panel may be turned off, and its surface presents a decorative effect consistent with the style of the interior components, or provides an independent interior decoration effect; when the smart surface panel is in an activated state, the light source of the smart surface panel may be turned on to present outputs such as light, patterns, icons, data, information, etc. at the light-transmitting area, thereby providing decorative effects, information or interactive controls. The smart surface panel may also include various sensors to accept inputs such as touch, gestures, and voice from the user. For example, the smart surface panel may include sensors such as touch sensors, distance sensors, fingerprint sensors, and sound sensors.

[0056] like Figure 3A As shown, the third panel 13 can be disposed between the first panel 11 and the second panel 12. More specifically, the first panel 11 can be indirectly spliced ​​with the second panel 12 via the third panel 13. Figure 3B and Figure 3C As shown, the first panel 11 and the second panel 12 may also be directly spliced. For example, the first panel 11 and the second panel 12 may be directly spliced, and the display interaction system 1 may not include a third panel, such as Figure 3B As another example, the first panel 11 and the second panel 12 can be directly spliced, and the third panel 13 can be arranged at other positions, such as around the first panel 11 (such as Figure 3B As shown) or around the second panel 12. It can be understood that the number of the first panel, the second panel and the third panel of the display interactive system is not limited to FIG. 3A to FIG. 3C In the illustrated embodiment, the first panel, the second panel, and the third panel may have any suitable number.

[0057] The multiple panels 11 , 12 , 13 of the display interaction system 1 all communicate with the electronic control unit of the vehicle V and can be linked with each other to enhance the user's interactive experience.

[0058] For example, for Figure 3A and Figure 3CIn the embodiment shown, the display interaction system 1 can provide multiple operation modes by controlling the switching between the inactive state and the active state of each section 111, 112, 113 of the first panel 11, the second panel 12 and the third panel 13, as shown in Table 1 below. It can be understood that the operation modes listed in Table 1 are only examples, and other operation modes can also be set. The first panel 11, the second panel 12 and the third panel 13 can also be functionally linked with each other. For example, an interactive control can be provided on the third panel 13 to allow the user to switch the first panel 11 and the second panel 12 between the inactive state and the active state by operating the third panel 13. For another example, in driving scenes where accidents are prone to occur due to visual blind spots, such as reversing and turning of the vehicle, the vehicle monitoring image of the second panel 12 can be displayed on the first panel 11, so that the driver can obtain a clearer and wider view outside the vehicle. For another example, when the vehicle speed is less than 5 km / h, the vehicle's door opening warning system can be automatically activated. When a target is detected entering from the rear, the vehicle's door opening warning system issues a warning of the danger of getting off the vehicle. A warning image can be provided through the first panel 11 and / or the second panel 12, while a warning light, icon, warning sound and / or vibration can be provided through the third panel 13, thereby achieving multi-dimensional warnings to avoid accidents when opening the door.

[0059] Table 1 shows the operation modes of the interactive system 1

[0060]

[0061]

[0062] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cover plate 20 may include a plurality of sections 21, 22, 23 corresponding to the plurality of panels 11, 12, 13, and each of the plurality of sections 21, 22, 23 covers a corresponding panel of the plurality of panels 11, 12, 13. The cover plate 20 may be bonded to the plurality of panels 11, 12, 13. Optionally, the cover plate 20 may be bonded to the plurality of panels 11, 12, 13 by liquid optical adhesive bonding (OCR bonding) or optical adhesive tape bonding (OCA bonding) to improve the uniformity and flatness of bonding. Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the cover plate 20 includes a first section 21, two second sections 22 and two third sections 23. The first section 21 covers the first panel 11, each second section 22 covers a corresponding second panel 12, and each third section 23 covers a corresponding third panel 13.

[0063] The cover plate 20 may have a shape that matches the user-facing surfaces of the multiple panels 11 , 12 , 13 spliced ​​to each other (hereinafter may also be referred to as the visible surfaces of the multiple panels) so as to better fit the visible surfaces of the multiple panels 11 , 12 , 13 .

[0064] The cover plate 20 may have a curvature that matches the curvature of the visible surface of the plurality of panels 11, 12, 13. The cover plate 20 may be configured to satisfy one or more of the following items to adapt to the self configuration and splicing method of the plurality of panels 11, 12, 13: a) at least one of the plurality of sections 21, 22, 23 of the cover plate 20 is curved; b) at least two of the plurality of sections 21, 22, 23 of the cover plate 20 have different curvatures; c) at least one of the plurality of sections 21, 22, 23 of the cover plate 20 itself has a varying curvature.

[0065] Each of the multiple sections 21, 22, 23 of the cover plate 20 may be in a planar shape or a curved shape. The curved shape of the section of the cover plate 20 may be a simple curved shape such as a cylindrical shape, a spherical shape, an ellipsoidal shape, a conical shape, or a complex curved shape such as a twisted surface shape, wherein the twisted surface shape may be a curved shape obtained by twisting a plane or a curved surface. Figure 4A and Figure 4B In the illustrated embodiment, the first section 21 and the second section 22 of the cover plate 20 are substantially planar, the third section 23 is simply curved, more specifically cylindrical, and the cross section S1 of the third section 23 along line AA is a straight strip. FIG. 5A to FIG. 5C In the illustrated embodiment, the first section 21 of the cover plate 20 is substantially planar, the second section 22 is complexly curved, and the third section 23 is complexly curved to connect the first section 21 and the second section 22. In other words, the transition from the planar first section 21 to the complex curved second section 22 is achieved through the complex curved third section 23. FIG. 5A to FIG. 5C In the illustrated embodiment, the third section 23 is in the shape of a twisted surface and has a variable curvature, and the third section 23 is in the shape of a curved strip in the cross section S2 along the line BB and the cross section S3 along the line CC, and the bending directions of the cross sections S2 and S3 are different. It can be understood that the above-mentioned configuration of the cover plate is only an example and not a limitation, and the cover plate may also have other suitable configurations.

[0066] The cover plate 20 can be made of glass, for example, formed integrally from glass by a hot bending process. The radius of curvature of the cover plate 20 made of glass is greater than or equal to 50 mm. The cover plate 20 can also be made of plastic, for example, formed integrally from plastic by extrusion cold bending, extrusion hot bending or injection molding. The cover plate 20 made of plastic can have any curvature and curvature variation, thereby allowing the cover plate 20 of the display interactive system 1 to have a more flexible structure and shape, in particular, allowing the cover plate 20 to be configured into a curved shape with a large curvature and / or a variable curvature.

[0067] Reference Figure 2 , the user-facing surfaces of at least two of the multiple sections 21, 22, 23 of the cover plate 20 may have different surface properties. The aforementioned surface properties may include at least one of the following: a) reflectivity; b) haze; c) water drop angle; and d) transmittance, so as to adapt to different application requirements of the multiple panels 11, 12, 13. In some embodiments, at least two of the multiple sections 21, 22, 23 of the cover plate 20 have different surface coatings on the side facing the user, so as to change the surface properties of different sections of the cover plate 20 by adjusting the surface coatings of different sections of the cover plate 20.

[0068] For example, when the panel is a projection display panel, the user-facing surface of the corresponding section of the cover plate 20 may have a relatively high reflectivity (e.g., a reflectivity of 10% to 50%, preferably a reflectivity of 20% to 30%), so that the projection display panel can more efficiently utilize the energy of the projection light source and provide a brighter display effect and a higher contrast. For another example, when the panel is a display panel such as an LCD panel, an OLED panel, a MicroLED panel, a PDP panel, or a QLED panel, the user-facing surface of the corresponding section of the cover plate 20 may have a relatively low reflectivity (e.g., a reflectivity of less than 2%) to reduce interference of external light on the display; the haze of the above-mentioned surface of the corresponding section of the cover plate 20 may be less than 5% to reduce glare; in particular, when the panel is a touch display panel, the water drop angle of the above-mentioned surface of the corresponding section of the cover plate 20 may be greater than or equal to 110° to reduce fingerprints caused by touch. For another example, when the panel is a smart surface panel, the water drop angle of the user-facing surface of the corresponding section of the cover plate 20 in the touch area may be greater than or equal to 110° to reduce fingerprints caused by touch.

[0069] Continue to refer to Figure 2, the visual effects of the above-mentioned display interaction interface of the display interaction system 1 may include the visual effects of the cover plate 20 and the visual effects of the multiple panels 11, 12, 13. The display interaction interface includes multiple interface areas corresponding to the multiple panels 11, 12, 13. The visual effects of the interface area corresponding to the first panel 11 of the display interaction interface include the visual effects of the first section 21 of the cover plate 20 and the visual effects of the first panel 11. The visual effects of the interface area corresponding to the second panel 12 of the display interaction interface include the visual effects of the second section 22 of the cover plate 20 and the visual effects of the second panel 12. The visual effects of the interface area corresponding to the third panel 13 of the display interaction interface include the visual effects of the third section 23 of the cover plate 20 and the visual effects of the third panel 13.

[0070] In some embodiments, the color difference ΔE of at least one of the above-mentioned multiple interface areas is less than 2 when the corresponding panel is in an inactivated state. This allows one or more interface areas of the display interaction interface of the display interaction system 1 to present a visual effect such as integrated black when the corresponding panel is in an inactivated state, thereby improving the overall appearance of the display interaction system 1.

[0071] In some embodiments, the color difference ΔE of the adjacent portions between at least two of the above-mentioned multiple interface areas is less than 2 when the panels corresponding to the aforementioned at least two interface areas are in an inactivated state. This allows the adjacent portions between two or more interface areas of the display interaction interface of the display interaction system 1 to present a visual effect such as integrated black when the corresponding panels are in an inactivated state, so that the panel joints of the display interaction system 1 have a coordinated, unified and neat appearance.

[0072] It is understandable that the color difference ΔE of each interface area of ​​the display interaction interface of the display interaction system 1 can be comprehensively controlled by adjusting the colors of the multiple panels 11, 12, 13 themselves and / or the colors of the multiple sections 21, 22, 23 of the cover plate 20. For example, in some cases, the color difference of the panel itself may be large (for example, the color difference between the display part of the display panel and the non-display part of the display panel containing the ink layer is large), and the color of different parts of the cover plate 20 can be adjusted to complement the color of the panel, thereby controlling the color difference of the display interaction interface within a desired value range.

[0073] It should also be understood that the various components and features described herein may be made of a variety of materials, including but not limited to polymers, rubbers, metals, and other suitable materials or combinations of materials known to those skilled in the art. Figures 1 to 5CThe illustrated embodiments merely show the shapes, sizes and arrangements of the various optional components of the display interaction system according to the present invention. However, they are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Other shapes, sizes and arrangements may also be adopted without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
