  • Patent number: 9703372
    Abstract: A display device, in particular for motor vehicle, includes a projection module and an optical path. The optical path has at least one reflection element, which is designed to reflect at least partially an image originating from the projection module in a normal direction of gaze of a user of the display device. A first configuration of the optical path is applied in a first mode of operation of the display device, and a second configuration of the optical path is applied in a second mode of operation of the display device. In the second mode of operation of the display device, at least a part of the image generated by the projection module is visible to the user of the display device in a magnified manner with respect to the first mode of operation of the display device.

  • Publication number: 20070151835
    Abstract: An interior fitting for a vehicle, particularly for a motor vehicle, comprises a supporting body, which is provided, at least in areas, with a sensor-functional planar structure and with a covering layer that is located on the side facing the interior. Different output signals can be generated by means of the planar structure according to the location of action thereupon. According to the invention, the covering layer is flexibly designed and completely covers the sensor-functional planar structure.
