Inventors:

- Van Buren Township MI, US
Qais Sharif - Northville MI, US

International Classification:

G02F 1/133

Abstract:

A dimmable display lens system and method is provided which includes a display element configured to emit light. The system and method also includes a dimmable lens disposed in the direction of light emission of the display element and configured to increase the transmission of light emitted by the display through the dimmable lens. The dimmable lens also includes a control system configured to increase the transmission of light emitted by the display according to a plurality of light transmission incremental steps. The control system includes a feedback control system configured to adjust the transmission of light through the dimmable lens based at least on the measured values of an ambient light sensor and a forward looking light sensor.

G02F 1/01
G02F 1/137
G02F 1/1337
B60R 1/08

Abstract:

A display system includes a display device disposed in a housing to generate an image on a projection surface. A mirror element cooperates with the display device. The mirror element includes a rotator cell disposed proximate to the display device and at least one reflective polarizer cooperating with the rotator cell. An active polarizing cell cooperates with the rotator cell. A first optical bonding layer is positioned between and cooperating with the rotator cell and the active polarizing cell that maintains a planar relationship between the rotator cell and the active polarizing cell.

Abstract:

An electro-optical system includes a voltage supply device, an active polarizing layer, a retarding layer, and a reflective layer. The active polarizing layer is electrically coupled to the voltage supply device. The active polarizing layer is configured to switch back and forth between a non-polarized state and a polarized state as the voltage supply device supplies varying levels of voltage. The retarding layer is configured to alter the polarization state of light traveling through it. The reflective layer is positioned adjacent to the retarding layer.

G06F 3/044

Abstract:

A display system including a display, a cover layer, an active cell, an opaque print, an adhesive film and an anti-reflective film. The display may generate an optical signal. The cover layer may cover the display and has a first and second surface. The optical signal may pass through the second surface and out the first surface. The active cell may be adjacent to the second surface and includes conductive planes configured to vary a transmission of the optical signal in response to a signal. The opaque print may be adjacent the active cell and has a clear area aligned with the display. The clear area may be smaller than the display. The adhesive film may be adjacent to the active cell, aligned with the clear area, and transmits the optical signal. The anti-reflective film may be attached to the adhesive film and receives the optical signal from the display.
