Abstract: Systems and methods for providing sunlight simulation in a vehicle simulator include a vehicle simulator. The vehicle simulator includes a visual projector configured to generate visual scene images and a bright forward field of view projector mounted with the visual projector, wherein the bright forward field of view projector includes plural light emitting diode (LED) light sources configured to generate a bright forward field of view. The vehicle simulator also includes a projection screen configured to project the visual scene images generated by the visual projector or the bright forward field of view generated by the bright forward field of view projector.

Abstract: A polarizer film tool, for removal of polarizer film from an LCD panel, is provided. The tool includes a take-up cylinder whose rotational action pulls the film from the LCD and wraps the removed film around itself. Two padded rotating stabilization cylinders guide the LCD in a preferred path through the tool to equally distribute the force used to hold the LCD as the polarizer film is pulled from its surface. The padded cylinders allow for deviations in the preferred path to accommodate any discrete parts mounted on the LCD that have a higher profile than the LCD surface. A method for removing the polarizer film with the above-mentioned tool is also provided.
