Patent number: 9605984Abstract: A display assembly includes an LCD that is transparent and has a viewing area and a blocked area which are reconfigurable. The display assembly includes a self-emissive display that is also transparent and extends along and in front of the LCD. A graphics processing unit is coupled with and controls the LCD and the self-emissive display. The LCD is controlled to allow light through the viewing area and the blocked area while the self-emissive display is off in a full analog mode. The LCD is controlled to block light through the viewing area and the blocked area while the self-emissive display is controlled to display an image in a full digital mode. Additionally, the LCD is controlled to allow light through the viewing area and block light through the blocked area while the self-emissive display is controlled to display an image in a hybrid mode.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2015Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: Visteon Global Technologies, Inc.Inventor: James Paul Farell

Publication number: 20140049938Abstract: A lighting system includes a display, a pointer, a motor, a lighting element, a lens, and a coating. The display has first and second opposed sides, with the pointer at least partially disposed on the first opposed side of the display, and the motor disposed on the second opposed side of the display for moving the pointer. The lighting element disposed within the motor on the second opposed side of the display lights the pointer. The lens is disposed on the first opposed side of the display with the pointer at least partially disposed between the first opposed side of the display and the lens. The coating, disposed on an underside of the lens facing the pointer and the display, is made of a material which when excited by light emits light onto the display creating a shadow of at least a portion of the pointer on the display.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2012Publication date: February 20, 2014Applicant: VISTEON GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, INCInventor: James Paul Farell
