The invention relates to a vehicle computer system. The vehicle computer system gathers data from a safety sensor to determine whether the proper safety conditions are present for the vehicle operator to interact with the vehicle computer system. A safety controller receives safety condition data gathered from the safety sensor and instructs the display manager to disable the display of information to the vehicle operator during unsafe operating conditions. The vehicle computer system advantageously employs a transparent display screen to provide greater field of vision of the vehicle operator than could be provided by a traditional display screen.

This disclosure features an electronic display with overlayed electronic skin. The display includes an outer transparent display surface and can be placed in a dark state or in a bright state. The skin overlays the outer display surface and includes an electro-optic layer. Transparent electrically conductive layers are disposed on each side of the electro-optic layer. Electronic circuitry applies voltages to the electrically conductive layers enabling the electro-optic material of the electronic skin to be placed into a substantially transparent state and a reflective state. Images or colors can be displayed on the electronic skin while portions of the electronic skin are in the reflective state and light passing through the electronic skin is absorbed by the display in the dark state. When the display is in the bright state images or colors can be displayed on the display that can be seen through the electronic skin.

Systems, devices, and methods for transparent displays that are well-suited for use in wearable heads-up displays are described. Such transparent displays include one or more scanning projector(s) that is/are mounted on or proximate the lens portion(s) thereof, directly in the field of view of the user. Each scanning projector includes a respective light source that sequentially generates pixels or other discrete portions of an image and a respective dynamic optical beam-steerer that controllably steers the modulated light directly towards select regions of the eye of the user. Successive portions of the image are generated in rapid succession until the entire image is displayed to the user by projection directly onto the eye of the user from one or more point(s) within the user's field of view.

Systems, articles, and methods for transparent displays that are particularly well-suited for use in wearable heads-up display devices are described. Such transparent displays include a register of light sources that sequentially generates light signals representative of portions (e.g., pixels, and sometimes rows or columns of pixels) of an image. Light signals corresponding to the pixels are collimated and directed substantially in-plane with or co-planar to the transparent display and through, over, or across an array of controllable reflectors. Individual controllable reflectors in the array of controllable reflectors that correspond to the approximate pixel positions are activated to selectively reflect the light signals into the field of view of the user. Successive portions of the image are similarly generated and reflected in rapid succession until the entire image is displayed to the user. The controllable reflectors may include reflective microblinds, MEMS-based mirrors, and/or tunable polarization elements such as Kerr cells.
