Abstract: A method for determining a tilt angle of a vehicle includes measuring accelerations of a vehicle in directions along a longitudinal axis, a transverse axis, and a vertical axis of the vehicle. A current tilt angle of the vehicle is calculated as a function of the measured accelerations. A magnitude-compensated tilt angle is calculated as a function of the current tilt angle, of a preceding tilt angle, and of the magnitude of the vector sum of the measured accelerations. A gyroscopically stabilized magnitude-compensated tilt angle is calculated as a function of the current tilt angle, of a preceding tilt angle, of the magnitude of the vector sum of the measured accelerations, and of a change in the tilt angle over a given time period calculated from angular rate data provided by a gyroscope.

The display device has a layer made of a light-emitting polymer for emitting light of a first colour, a transparent carrier layer and a mask which is arranged on the transparent carrier layer and provided with an opening in the form of the number or signal, or the display device has a layer made of a first light-emitting polymer for emitting light of a first colour and a second layer, which is arranged close to the first layer and which is made of a second light-emitting polymer for emitting light of a second colour.

Abstract: A vehicle display configuration includes an LED (light emitting diode) display with a flexible circuit board and a plurality of LEDs mounted on the flexible circuit board. The flexible circuit board conforms to the surface shape of a mounting layer to which it is fastened. A control circuit which includes a driver circuit is operatively connected to the LEDs for controlling the LEDs. The driver circuit has a serial data input and a shift register. The driver circuit shifts data received via the serial data input into the shift register and controls the LEDs in accordance with the data in the shift register. A method of controlling a display is also provided.
