Abstract

A display assembly for a vehicle is disclosed. The display assembly may include a variable transmittance panel connected to a support structure that connects the display assembly to the vehicle. The variable transmittance panel may include: an electro-optic element configured to change its transmittance in response to a transmittance control signal; and a display that is at least partially light-transmitting. The display may include opposing display surfaces on a first side and a second side. The first side is disposed adjacent to the electro-optic element. In operation, the display can output display content as display light from both the first side and the second side. The visibility of the display light output from the first side can be controlled or adjusted by the transmittance of the electro-optic element.
