Movable Vehicle Display Panel Adjusting Area for Driver Vision
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional vehicle display apparatuses face limitations in displaying information effectively, particularly due to the need for a large-scale screen that does not compromise driver visibility or interior aesthetics, and struggle with prioritizing space for essential controls and safety features.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus with a main display part and a center panel that can move in the upper and lower direction, allowing for adjustment of the display area and prioritization of information based on the vehicle's state, with the center panel providing additional functionality and flexibility in use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If a large-scaled display part is installed at the center fascia to provide various information, then the display area and information capability are improved, but the driver's vision may be blocked and safety is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The display apparatus is designed to move between a first position (extended outward) and a second position (retracted). When the vehicle is in motion, the display moves to the second position to avoid blocking the driver's vision. When the vehicle is stationary, the display extends to the first position to provide a large display area for information and entertainment functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The display apparatus is divided into separable components including the display part, center panel, and housing. This segmentation allows the display to be independently positioned and controlled, enabling it to move between extended and retracted states without affecting the overall vehicle structure or driver safety.
2Area of stationary object
If a large-scaled display part occupies most of the center fascia area, then the display capability is improved, but space for other essential apparatuses is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The movable display design allows the center fascia to accommodate both the large display apparatus and other essential controls. When the display is retracted, space is available for installing emergency lamp switches, air conditioner switches, and other controls. The system dynamically adjusts space allocation based on operational needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The display apparatus utilizes the depth dimension by moving in and out along the vehicle's longitudinal axis. This allows the display to occupy significant space during stationary operation without permanently blocking the center fascia area, enabling other controls to be installed in the same spatial envelope.
3Area of stationary object
If a large-scaled display part is installed at the center fascia, then the display area is improved, but the aesthetic quality and interior design are degraded
Solution Approach 1:
The display apparatus can be retracted into the center fascia when not in use, maintaining a clean and aesthetically pleasing interior design. When needed, it extends to provide a large display area. This dynamic capability allows the vehicle to maintain high aesthetic quality while offering large-screen functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The movable display structure serves multiple functions: it provides a large display area for information and entertainment, maintains aesthetic quality when retracted, and creates space for other controls. The center panel also provides additional functionality with its own display and control capabilities.
4Ease of operation
If separated display parts are used at different areas of the center fascia, then navigation and media information are displayed, but the ability to represent information in a large-scaled screen is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The display apparatus combines the main display part and center panel into a single integrated movable unit. When extended, they form a continuous large-scaled display surface that can present information in an immersive format, eliminating the fragmentation caused by separate display parts while maintaining all necessary functionality.

AI summary
A vehicle having a display apparatus includes a main display part installed at a front surface of a center fascia of the vehicle to display an image, and a center panel that traverses the main display part in a width direction of the main display part, wherein the center panel is provided to move in an upper side and lower side direction so as to adjust a display area of the main display part.
