Thus, the adopted directional terms are used to describe and understand the present disclosure, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In figures, elements with similar structures are indicated by the same numbers.
The present disclosure is directed to the technical problem of poor display effect caused by external light in current automotive display devices, and the present disclosure can solve the defects.
As shown in
Specifically, referring to
Wherein, the rotating component 101 may be a rotating shaft, but not limited herein. The second unfolded portion 12 is fixed at any angle within the rotation range through a cooperation between the first unfolded portion 11, the second unfolded portion 12, and the rotating component 101, or a limiting structure on the display device, that is, the folded state can be automatically locked.
The display device 1 comprises a case 100 and a display screen 200 attached to a surface of the case 100, and the display screen 200 is an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display screen. The display screen 200 is disposed corresponding to the folded portion 10 and the unfolded portions (11 and 12). Meanwhile, all the folded portion 10 and the unfolded portions (11 and 12) are configured to display, and a display effect is better than a liquid crystal display (LCD) display screen.
A light-blocking component 300 is disposed on edges of both sides of the display device 1 perpendicular to the rotating component 101 respectively, an end of the light-blocking component 300 is connected to the first unfolded portion 11, an opposite end is connected to the second unfolded portion 12 on a same side, and the light-blocking component 300 stretches or retracts as the second unfolded portion 12 moves relative to the first unfolded portion 11. The light-blocking component 300 is configured to block external light irradiated to the display screen 200 from both sides of the display device 1.
Refer to
The display device 1 is in a folded form combining an inward folding type and an outward folding type, wherein the light-blocking component 300 is disposed between the two adjacent unfolded portions (such as 12 and 13) of the inward folding type. A design of the light-blocking component 300 is equal to the light-blocking component 300 in the above first foldable automotive display device, which will not describe details herein.
As shown in
In the present disclosure, on the one hand, foldable OLED display screens are applied in automotive display, and a display effect of the automotive display is improved compared to traditional foldable liquid crystal display (LCD) display screens. On the other hand, the light-blocking component is disposed in the foldable automotive display device in the present disclosure, which can effectively block external light from irradiating a display region of the display device, and effectively prevent the display effect of the display device from adverse effects caused by the external light, thereby improving the display effect of the automotive display.
The foldable automotive display device of the present disclosure will be described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
Refer to
The display device 1 is located in-front of the center console. The display device 1 may be the inward folding type, which shows a folded state when not in use, and can prevent dust from entering a surface of the display screen in the folded state. When the vehicle is started, the display device 1 will be in an open state, and an opening angle varies with the driving mode.
The display device 1 can be switched between a large screen and a small screen. When the display screen 200 corresponding to one of the first unfolded portion 11 or the second unfolded portion 12 is used for display, it is in a small screen state; and when the display screen 200 corresponding to the first unfolded portion 11 and the second unfolded portion 12 is used for display, it is in a large screen state.
When an angle between the first unfolded portion 11 and the second unfolded portion 12 is less than 180°, since the second unfolded portion 12 is not fully unfolded, the second unfolded portion 12 can block a part of light incident from the front window, and the light-blocking component 300 on the sides can simultaneously block light incident on sides (as shown by arrows in the figure). Therefore, adopting such method can yield a good driving experience, and effectively prevent the display effect of the display device 1 from adverse effects caused by the external light, thereby improving the display effect of the automotive display.
For an unfolded state of a second foldable automotive display device provided by the present disclosure, reference may be made to the unfolded state of the first foldable automotive display device, and details are not described herein.
When the vehicle is in an automatic driving mode, people can lie in the front seat. When the vehicle is started, the display device 1 will change from the folded state to a fully unfolded state (the angle of expansion is equal to 180°), so that a driver can watch a larger display screen. As shown in
When the vehicle is in the automatic driving mode, the seat 24 can be adjusted to the rear, and a person can lie back on the seat 24. Since quality of viewing images will be different as a lying angle of the person is different, the display device 1 in the fully unfolded state can be rotated along the second rotating component 101b to adjust an angle between the display device 1 and the center console 231. Therefore, the unfolded display device 1 can be adjusted according to the lying angle of the person, so that the person can get the best visual experience.
Combined with
As shown in
Wherein, the light-blocking component 300 may be a light-blocking net or a light-blocking plate. The light-blocking component 300 shown in the figure is a Z-shaped folded structure which is similar to a folding-fan structure. One end of the light-blocking component 300 is fixed on a bottom of the storage groove 110, and another end is fixed on the second unfolded portion 12. The light-blocking component 300 unfolds as the display device 1 unfolds, or folds as the display device 1 folds.
As shown in
Moreover, the light-blocking component 300 may be a telescopic folded structure, and the light-blocking component 300 unfolds as the display device 1 unfolds, or folds as the display device 1 folds.
Refer to
The present disclosure provides the foldable automotive display device and the vehicle. On the one hand, foldable OLED display screens are applied in the automotive display, and the display effect of the automotive display is improved compared to traditional foldable LCD display screens. On the other hand, the light-blocking component is disposed in the foldable automotive display device in the present disclosure, which can effectively block the external light from irradiating the display region of the display device, and effectively prevent the display effect of the display device from adverse effects caused by the external light, thereby improving the display effect of the automotive display.
As mentioned above, while the present disclosure has been disclosed via preferred embodiments as above, the preferred embodiments are not intended to limit the disclosure. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and alternations without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure. The scope of protection of the disclosure is defined by the claims.
