Abstract: A display panel with a first panel side and a second panel side is included in a display device. The display panel displays at least one graphic display object. The display panel includes a first layer which is a pixel matrix and a second layer which includes a plurality of predetermined primary subareas. The display device includes control circuitry to enable the displaying of the graphic display object based on a predefined display alignment in one of a first orientation and a second orientation. The control circuitry adjusts a respective light transmission to a predetermined individual degree for each of the predetermined primary subareas independent of each other based on a physical environment condition.

Abstract: A display panel for displaying at least one graphical display object and a control device are part of a display apparatus in a motor vehicle. The display panel is freestanding in a space and has a multiplicity of predetermined sections, each having a settable degree of light transmittance. As a result, an environment of the display panel may be visible in the display panel, depending on the degree of light transmittance. The control device is configured to individually set a respective light transmittance to a predetermined degree for each of the multiplicity of predetermined sections of the display panel.

Abstract: A one-piece display has a main display area at least partly viewable from one point of observation, and a secondary display area arranged so as to not be viewable from that point of observation. The main display area and the secondary display area are arranged relative to one another in such a way that the secondary display area is reflected in the main display area to produce a virtual display plane that is viewable from the point of observation.

Abstract: A steering handle for a steering apparatus of a motor vehicle includes an end face which faces a user when the steering handle is in a position of use and a display element arranged on a side of the steering handle which faces away from the end face. A control device carries out a method by which a position of the steering handle is changed based on a driving mode set by a driver assistance device. The control device generates an adjustment signal to change between a position of use of the steering handle and a position of rest of the steering handle. When the steering handle is in a position of rest, a surface of the steering handle which faces away from the user when the steering handle is in the position of use instead faces the user.

Abstract: At least one piece of information is displayed by a display apparatus in a motor vehicle. The display apparatus has a first subregion in the form of a viewing window of the motor vehicle, where the viewing window is part of the boundary of an interior of the motor vehicle. A second display subregion, designed to display the information, is formed integrally with the first subregion, such that the first subregion and the second display subregion lead into one another at an angle. At least regions of the second display subregion are designed so as to project into the interior of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: A display device has a display surface with at least two display regions for displaying display content, and a folding device configured to fold the display surface. The folding device can optionally have a rail element which runs parallel to a direction of extent of one of the display regions and is arranged displaceably parallel thereto. A lever element of the folding device has a first end arranged on the rail element, and a second end with at least one holding element arranged on a foldable display region.

Abstract: Vehicle information is displayed on a deformable display of an instrument cluster for a motor vehicle. The instrument cluster includes the deformable display, a support structure, at least one sensor element, and at least one movement element. The deformable display is arranged on the support structure and the support structure is movable from a first position into a second position by using the at least one movement element, based on environmental influences detected by the sensor element.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a motor vehicle having at least one flap, which can be moved between an open and a closed position, an encodable locking device for locking the flap, an unlocking device for unlocking the encodable locking device, and at least one further access opening which is adapted to the size of a specific postal article and can be closed by at least one additional flap. The access opening can be locked by an encodable locking device and can be unlocked by an unlocking device.

Abstract: An operating knob for an operating apparatus extends away from a reference plane that delimits the operating knob on a rear side. The operating knob is in the form of a three-dimensionally protruding body in relation to the reference plane up to a knob height. The operating knob has at least one side wall extending between the reference plane and the knob height at an angle greater than 20° with respect to the reference plane as a placement surface for at least one finger operating the operating knob. Luminous outputs of at least one luminous segment or a pixel matrix are provided on the side wall.

Abstract: In a method for controlling a function of an apparatus, a screen is mounted via a retaining element on an axis for rotation about the axis and can be shifted along the axis and in relation to a display unit. The function is selected in dependence on an orientation of the screen relative to the display unit. A switch is arranged on a movement path of the screen and can be activated in response to a tilting movement of the screen on the movement path in relation to the axis so as to activate or deactivate a control element for controlling the function.
