AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing systems lack efficient methods to indicate context, such as the state of a mobile system and its environment, which can lead to increased cognitive burden on users and reduced safety and productivity.

Method used

A mobile system equipped with exterior displays and sensors that detect environmental objects, allowing the system to display representations of objects on the exterior displays while keeping this information obscured from the interior, thereby providing contextual information to users outside the system without distracting those inside.

Benefits of technology

This solution enhances user safety and productivity by reducing the need for users to constantly monitor external conditions, while also improving system efficiency by automating the display of contextual information.

Abstract

A system may include a display having a housing, a cover lens coupled to the housing, a light plate assembly in the housing, a diffuser that overlaps the light plate assembly, a louver layer that overlaps the diffuser, and a ring light source that emits additional light around the periphery of the light plate assembly and through the cover lens. The light plate assembly may include an array of light-emitting components. To improve the efficiency and contrast of the light plate assembly, reflective fill material may be formed around each light-emitting component, and absorptive fill material may surround the reflective fill material. The absorptive fill material may absorb ambient light, while the reflective fill material may redirect stray light out of the display. Dam material may surround the absorptive fill material and / or the reflective fill material.
