  • Patent number: 11908432
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for automatically controlling a screen brightness of an AVN system are provided to automatically change screen brightness in a user customized manner in a response to a change in illumination outside the vehicle. The apparatus include a screen brightness control module that controls such that a screen brightness of a display provided in the AVN system is automatically changed according to a change in the illumination data received from the illumination sensor, based on a default matching relationship between previously stored illumination data and screen brightness and a gain adjustment module that generates a new customized matching relationship by correcting the screen brightness matched to each illumination data based on the default matching relationship in accordance with an input of a user who adjusts to enhance or weaken the screen brightness and provides the screen brightness control module with the new customized matching relationship for screen brightness control.

  • Publication number: 20220404926
    Abstract: The disclosure herein describes a display panel that includes a display area and a non-display area. The example display panel includes a flexible substrate, a touch metal layer, and a metal layer between the flexible substrate and the touch metal layer. Each of the display area and the non-display area include the flexible substrate, the touch metal layer, and the metal layer. The metal layer includes signal lines for transmitting signals between the display area and the non-display area. The non-display area includes a bending area with the touch metal layer being disposed on the metal layer in the non-display area to shield noise from signals transmitted through the signal lines in the bending area from the antenna. The display area includes light emitting diodes and a thin film encapsulation layer disposed between the touch metal layer and the metal layer.
