Abstract: An analog gauge includes a pointer attached to a post and overlying and rotating relative to a substrate to indicate a first vehicle operating condition. A cap may be disposed on the pointer and opposite the substrate and over the post, with a first coil of electrically conductive material disposed therein. A light source may be mounted to the pointer and in electrical communication with the first coil. A second coil of electrically conductive material may provide power to the first coil via non-contact coupling. A stepper motor may cause the pointer to rotate. The second coil may be formed as a trace in a metal layer of a printed circuit board disposed beneath the substrate. The light source may cause the pointer to be illuminated. Alternatively, the light source may cause an applique in the cap to illuminate as a telltale icon, indicating a second vehicle operating condition.

Abstract: An instrument cluster for a vehicle includes a gauge having a face plate, a pointer rotatably coupled to the face plate, and a gauge indicator on the face plate. The pointer includes an arm with a bottom plate and a top plate on opposed sides of the arm, a reflector coupled to the bottom plate, and a light source coupled to the bottom plate. The light source is positioned to emit a light along the arm and the reflector is positioned to reflect the light through the top plate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a display device, notably for a motor vehicle, comprising a projection module for generating an image for the purpose of a projection in the normal direction of looking of a user of the display device on an optical path, the display device comprising a reflection element, the reflection element being capable of being moved between a multitude of different display positions, the different display positions corresponding to different viewing positions of a user of the display device.

Abstract: A display device for a motor vehicle includes a projection module for generating an image for projection in a normal direction of looking of a user long an optical path. The display device comprises a reflection element capable of being moved between a first rest position and a second display position. The reflection element in its display position is provided in the normal direction of looking of the user. When the reflection element moves between its first rest position and its second display position, it is subjected to rotary movement about a fixed axis of rotation.

Abstract: This apparatus comprises a housing (1) in which a place (12) is provided for a screen formed by a display unit (15) which comprises, inter alia, an assembly of a plate of optical fibers (30) disposed on the side of the front face, facing the user (28) and a display unit (29) comprising a multiplicity of pixels.

Abstract: The invention discloses a liquid crystal display including in succession a first polarizer, a first glass layer, a liquid crystal, a second glass layer, a second polarizer, a purely reflective reflector, a light source and a reflector film surrounding the edge of the second glass layer while preserving at least one opening for letting light pass that is emitted by the source through the glass layer. Such an arrangement provides a liquid crystal display, which has an efficient and uniform irradiance without the aid of a light guide which renders the display lighter and flatter than the conventional displays.

Abstract: A device for demagnetization of the picture tube of a television receiver and earthing of the conductive coating applied to the cone of the tube includes a demagnetization coil system (4) constituted by a bundle of insulated electric wires held together and forming at least one loop applied to the cone of the tube. The wires of the strand are held together by a tape of plastic material wound helically around them, while a bare electric wire (1) is wound helically with the same pitch as the tape. This wire is connected to earth (15, 16).

Abstract: A device for varying an electrode voltage of a CRT of a color TV includes a novel potentiometer arrangement for adjusting the aforesaid electrode voltage. In known voltage-generating devices the electrode voltage is adjusted by a special potentiometer which can handle several kilovolts. According to the invention, the potentiometer track is constituted by a resistive layer (2) situated inside the interior of the output-voltage feedthrough (10) and the wiper is constituted by the end portion of the high-voltage cable (9) which is inserted into a tubular feedthrough portion and which can slide therein in order to adjust the voltage.
