[0045] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the specific embodiments of the present application and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0046] In the present application, the terms “outer” and “inner” refer to directions relative to an observer, wherein “outer” refers to a direction facing the observer, and “inner” refers to a direction away from the observer.

[0047] Figure 1 A vehicle 1 according to an embodiment of the present application is schematically shown. Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle 1 includes a plurality of interior components S, such as a dashboard component 10, a ceiling component 11, and a door panel component 12. A display device 2 for the vehicle (hereinafter referred to as the display device 2 for simplicity) is provided on any one or more of these interior components S to display images on the interior components as needed.

[0048] In one embodiment, Figure 3a As shown, the door panel assembly 12 includes a door interior panel 123, and the display device 2 is mounted on the door interior panel 123. For example, the door interior panel 123 includes a first area 121 and a second area 122 surrounding the first area 121. A second surface structure (for example, the second surface structure may be a combination of one or more of texture, pattern, and color) is configured on the outer surface of the second area 122 facing the passenger compartment of the vehicle 1, so that the second area 122 presents a specific surface effect.

[0049] The display device 2 is installed in the first area 121 , and an edge of the display device 2 contacts an edge of the second area 122 . Figure 3b As shown, when necessary, the display device 2 is turned on to display an image 13 on the door panel assembly 12, thereby conveniently providing information to the occupants in the passenger compartment. The image 13 can be, for example, any one or more combinations of text, letters, graphics, symbols, numbers, trademarks, animations, logos, warning information, prompt information, static colors, and changing colors. For simplicity, the following only takes the display device 2 installed on the door interior panel 123 as an example to describe the technical solution of the present application.

[0050] The display device 2 is described below.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, the display device 2 includes a display module 3 and a light-transmitting cover assembly 4. The display module 3 can be lit to display an image 13 or in a dark state (for example, the display module 3 is turned off, or in a screen-off or sleep state) without displaying an image. The cover assembly 4 covers the display module 3 and includes a light-transmitting outer decorative layer 41, which serves as the appearance surface of the cover assembly 4. A first surface structure consistent with the second surface structure is constructed on the outer surface of the outer decorative layer 41 away from the display module 3.

[0052] When the display module 3 is lit, since the cover assembly 4 is light-transmissive, at least a portion of the outer layer 41 presents the combined effect of the image 13 displayed by the display module 3 and the first surface structure, and the occupant can see the image 13. In some embodiments, the brightness of the image is high, and the image is displayed relatively clearly, so that the occupant can clearly see the image and is not easily aware of the first surface structure. In other embodiments, the brightness of the image is moderate, and the first surface structure and the image can be displayed relatively clearly, so that the occupant can see the combined effect of the first surface structure and the image.

[0053] When the display module 3 is in the dark state, the outer layer 41 no longer displays an image, but presents the surface effect generated by the first surface structure. Since the first surface structure is consistent with the second surface structure, the surface effect of the outer layer 41 is consistent with the surface effect of the second area 122, and the display device 2 and the door interior panel 123 are thus integrated. The occupants cannot or can hardly distinguish between the display device 2 and the second area 122 of the door interior panel 123, achieving the effect of hiding the display device 2. This keeps the interior environment design of the vehicle 1 consistent and improves the aesthetics of the vehicle 1.

[0054] The surface effect of the outer layer 41 and the surface effect of the second area 122 may include, for example, a tactile effect, a visual effect, etc. In some embodiments, the first surface structure and the second surface structure include a texture so that the outer layer 41 and the second area 122 of the door interior panel 123 have the same rough touch. For example, the outer layer 41 is made of translucent leather. In other embodiments, the second surface structure has a pattern or texture, and accordingly, the outer layer 41 can be made of a translucent material with the same pattern and / or texture, so that the outer layer 41 and the second area 122 of the door interior panel 123 have the same visual effect of the pattern or texture. For example, the outer layer 41 can be made of translucent wood or a translucent film with a preset pattern and / or texture. The outer layer 41 can also be manufactured to have a variety of other tactile effects or other visual effects at the same time. In this way, the display device 2 and the door interior panel 123 are more harmonious and consistent, thereby making the interior environment design of the vehicle 1 consistent and improving the aesthetics of the vehicle 1.

[0055] Also like Figure 4 As shown, the cover assembly 4 further includes a bearing layer 42 for bearing the outer decoration layer 41. The bearing layer 42 includes a light-transmitting area 421 and a mounting area 422. The light-transmitting area 421 is between the display module 3 and the outer decoration layer 41. The mounting area 422 is connected to the light-transmitting area 421 but deviates from the display module 3.

[0056] The light-transmitting area 421 covers the display module 3, and the outer layer 41 covers the light-transmitting area 421. In one embodiment, the outer layer 41 is provided as an independent film layer on the light-transmitting area 421. In other embodiments, the outer layer 41 can also be attached to the light-transmitting area 421 by a process such as injection molding. When the display module 3 is lit, the light emitted by the display module 3 passes through the light-transmitting area 421 and the outer layer 41, so that the image displayed by the display module 3 is presented on the outer layer 41. In one embodiment, the outer layer 41 is translucent so that the outer layer 41 has a better light-homogenizing effect. When the display module 3 is lit, this helps to improve the display effect of the image on the outer layer 41; moreover, this makes the image not too dazzling, thereby improving the viewing experience of the occupants. In addition, when the display module 3 is in a dark state, under the shielding of the translucent outer layer 41, the occupants cannot or can hardly see the internal structure of the display device 2 (for example, the bearing layer and the display module can hardly be seen), which helps to improve the aesthetics of the vehicle 1. In one embodiment, the light transmittance of the translucent outer layer 41 may be between 5% and 70%.

[0057] In one embodiment, the translucent property of the outer decoration layer 41 can be achieved by adjusting the haze of the outer decoration layer 41. In another embodiment, the outer decoration layer can also be made of a transparent material (e.g., glass or acrylic). In this case, the first surface structure of the outer decoration layer can be a texture. The texture diffuses the light so that the outer decoration layer appears translucent.

[0058] In one embodiment, the light-transmitting area 421 is made of a transparent material, and the mounting area 422 is made of an opaque material. Then, the light-transmitting area 421 and the mounting area 422 are combined into a whole. The light-transmitting area 421 and the mounting area 422 can also be integrally formed by two-color injection molding. The transparent material can be, for example, transparent polycarbonate (PC) or transparent polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), and the opaque material can be, for example, opaque PC, opaque ABS plastic or PC-ABS plastic. In other embodiments, the light-transmitting area 421 and the mounting area 422 can be integrally made of the same light-transmitting material, and then an opaque black-shielding material is applied to the mounting area 422 to perform a black-shielding treatment. The black-shielding material can be, for example, black paint or dye. The transparent material, opaque material, and black-shielding material described here are all well known to those skilled in the art and will not be repeated here. It should be noted that since the installation area 422 is offset from the display module 3 , the installation area 422 may be made of a transparent material without blackout treatment while ensuring that the light emitted by the display module 3 does not pass through the installation area 422 to illuminate the exterior layer 41 .

[0059] Also like Figure 4 As shown, the mounting area 422 is configured with a mounting structure 426, which extends from the light-transmitting area 421 toward the display module 3 and is located at the edge of the display module 3. In this way, the mounting structure 426 is completely deviated from the display module 3, avoiding adverse effects on the display effect of the display device 2. In addition, the mounting structure 426 contacts the edge of the display module 3, thereby limiting the display module 3 in a direction substantially parallel to the outer decoration layer 41 (or the display module 3), ensuring that the display module 3 is aligned with the light-transmitting area 421 and the outer decoration layer 41, thereby helping to maintain a good display effect of the display device 2.

[0060] Also like Figure 4As shown, the display device 2 also includes a skeleton layer 43. The skeleton layer 43 is located on the side of the display module 3 away from the cover assembly 4, and the display module 3 is mounted on the skeleton layer 43. The mounting structure 426 is connected to the skeleton layer 43 (for example, connected together by screws 431). In this way, the display device 2 forms an independent module, which is convenient for storage and transportation, and is also convenient for disassembly and assembly on the door interior panel 123. In addition, the light-transmitting area 421 of the skeleton layer 43 and the bearing layer 42 limits the display module 3 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the exterior layer 41 (or the display module 3), and the mounting structure 426 of the bearing layer 42 limits the display module 3 in a direction substantially parallel to the exterior layer 41 (or the display module 3), which helps to avoid the display module 3 from being misaligned relative to the bearing layer 42 and the skeleton layer 43, and further ensures that the display module 3 is aligned with the light-transmitting area 421 and the exterior layer 41.

[0061] The skeleton layer 43 may be made of plastic. The plastic may be, for example, polypropylene (PP), ABS, etc. In one embodiment, at least part of the skeleton layer 43 is made of a thermally conductive material, which helps to improve the heat dissipation effect of the display device 2. In one embodiment, the thermally conductive material may be a metal such as aluminum, magnesium, copper, or a thermally conductive plastic.

[0062] In one embodiment, the minimum thickness of the metal skeleton layer 43 can be 0.4 mm, and the minimum thickness of the thermally conductive plastic skeleton layer 43 can be 2.5 mm; the thickness of the light-transmitting area 421 is about 0.6 mm; and the minimum thickness of the exterior layer 41 can be 0.3 mm. In this way, the total thickness of the display device 2 is small, so that it can be used in a small space; and the thickness of the door interior panel 123 of the vehicle 1 will not be significantly increased, thereby avoiding a significant reduction in the size of the passenger compartment.

[0063] In one embodiment, the display module 3 and the cover assembly 4 can also be directly mounted as a whole on the door interior panel 123 of the vehicle 1. In this way, the display device 2 has no skeleton layer, which helps to further reduce the thickness of the display device 2.

[0064] In one embodiment, the display device 2 is embedded in the first area 121 of the door interior panel 123, and the edge of the outer layer 41 contacts the edge of the second area 122 in a smooth transition. From the overall view of the door interior panel 123, the display device 2 does not protrude or sink relative to the second area 122, which further keeps the interior environment design of the vehicle 1 consistent and improves the aesthetics of the vehicle 1. Moreover, when the occupant touches the seam between the display device 2 and the second area 122 of the door interior panel 123, there will be no abrupt feeling of drop, which further improves the occupant's experience.

[0065] In one embodiment, Figure 4As shown, the outer layer 41 is constructed in a planar shape. In this case, the skeleton layer 43, the display module 3 supported on the skeleton layer 43, and the supporting layer 42 are also formed in planar shapes. When the outer surface of the door interior panel is a plane, the outer layer matches (or is consistent with) the outer surface of the door interior panel. As a result, the display device is integrated with the door interior panel, so that the interior environment design of the vehicle is consistent and the aesthetics of the vehicle are improved.

[0066] In one embodiment, when the outer surface of the door interior panel is configured as a first curved shape, the outer decorative layer 41 is configured as a second curved shape (eg, Figure 5 As shown). In this way, the shape of the outer decorative layer matches (or is consistent with) the shape of the outer surface of the door interior panel, thereby making the interior environment design of the vehicle consistent and improving the aesthetics of the vehicle. Figure 5 As shown, the light-transmitting area 421 has an outer surface 425 away from the display module 3. The outer surface 425 of the light-transmitting area 421 is configured as a first curved surface matching the second curved shape of the outer decoration layer 41, so that the outer decoration layer 41 is attached to the outer surface 425 of the light-transmitting area.

[0067] Also like Figure 5 As shown, the display module 3 and the light-transmitting area 421 are both configured to have a first curved shape consistent with the exterior layer 41. In this way, the light-transmitting area 421 can be tightly fitted to the display module 3, for example, the two are bonded together by optical glue to avoid mutual movement between the light-transmitting area 421 (or the cover assembly 4) and the display module 3 and affect the display effect. In one embodiment, the display module 3 includes a flexible display panel so that it can be bent. For example, the flexible display panel can be a flexible Micro-LED display panel, a flexible Mini-LED display panel or a flexible OLED display panel, and of course it can also be other types of flexible display panels. It should be understood that the skeleton layer 43 can also be configured to have a second curved shape consistent with the exterior layer 41, and of course it can also not be bent, but it can be configured with a curved surface of the display module 3 for setting the second curved shape.

[0068] In one embodiment, Figure 6As shown, the light-transmitting area 421 has a raised area 424 that protrudes outward (i.e., generally protrudes in a direction away from the display module 3) and a recessed area 423 that is recessed inward (i.e., generally recessed in a direction toward the display module 3). The thickness of the recessed area 423 is less than the thickness of the raised area 424, so that the outer surface 425 of the light-transmitting area 424 forms a first curved surface, and then fits well with the outer decorative layer 41 of the second curved shape. In other words, by changing the thickness of different areas of the light-transmitting area 421 of the supporting layer 42, the outer surface 425 of the light-transmitting area 424 forms the desired first curved surface. It should be understood that in this case, the display module may not be curved (i.e., the display module is Figure 4 The flexible display panel may be bent in the planar state shown in the figure); but the bending degree is less than the bending degree of the second curved shape. For the case where the bending degree of the display module is less than the bending degree of the required second curved shape (for example, the bending degree of the required second curved shape is greater than the bending limit of the flexible display panel), Figure 6 The structure of the light-transmitting area 421 shown is particularly advantageous because the areas of different thickness (i.e., the raised areas and / or recessed areas) of the light-transmitting area 421 compensate for the curvature of the corresponding areas of the display module (in this case, the curvature of the outer layer 41 is greater than the curvature of the display module 3). Figure 5 Similar to the embodiment shown, Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the skeleton layer 43 may be curved; or it may not be curved, but may be configured with a curved surface for arranging the display module 3 having a second curved shape.

[0069] Also like Figure 4 As shown, the area of ​​the orthographic projection of the light-transmitting region 421 of the supporting layer 42 on the display module 3 is larger than the area of ​​the display module 3. In other words, the coverage of the light-transmitting region 421 is larger than the area of ​​the display module 3. The area of ​​the exterior layer 41 is equal to the area of ​​the light-transmitting region 421, so the coverage of the exterior layer 41 is also larger than the area of ​​the display module 3. When the display device 2 is in use, the light 31 emitted by the light-emitting device near the edge of the display module 3 is obliquely scattered away from the display module 3 and passes through the light-transmitting region 421, and can still illuminate the entire exterior layer 41. In this way, the area of ​​the display area 411 of the exterior layer 41 for displaying images is larger than the area of ​​the display module 3, that is, the cover assembly 4 expands the display of the image displayed by the display module 3. For example, as Figure 2aAs shown, the display area 411 is substantially equal to the area of ​​the outer trim layer 41 (i.e., the edge 413 of the display area 411 is adjacent to or almost overlaps with the edge 414 of the outer trim layer 41). In one embodiment, the outer trim layer 41 (or the cover assembly 4) can cover the corresponding styling surface of the door interior panel 123. In this way, the entire corresponding styling surface of the door interior panel 123 can be used to display images, which further improves the viewing experience of the occupants.

[0070] For irregularly shaped cover components (for example, the edge of the cover component is an irregular curve), the cover component 4 is also very beneficial for the extended display of the image. This is because the display module 3 does not need to be constructed to have the same shape as the cover component 4 (that is, the edge of the display module 3 does not need to be constructed in an irregular curve form). For example, the display module 3 can be constructed in a rectangular shape with straight edges. When the display module is lit, the entire irregularly shaped cover component can still be illuminated by the display module. This reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the display module 3 and also reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the display device 2.

[0071] In one embodiment, the area of ​​the orthographic projection of the light-transmitting area 421 of the carrier layer 42 on the display module 3 may also be equal to the area of ​​the display module 3. In this case, the cover assembly 4 does not expand the image displayed by the display module. When the display module 3 is turned on, the area of ​​the display area 411 is equal to the area of ​​the display module 2. For example, Figure 2b As shown, the area of ​​the display region 411 is smaller than or equal to the area of ​​the outer decoration layer 41 , and a non-display region 412 exists between an edge 413 of the display region 411 and an edge 414 of the outer decoration layer 41 .
