Abstract: In various embodiments, a computer-implemented method comprises measuring a current drawn by a display panel, determining whether the current exceeds a threshold value, and upon determining that the current exceeds the threshold value, causing a light source associated with the display panel to shut off.

Abstract: Various embodiments include a computer-implemented method comprising determining a height of an eye associated with a user, determining, based on the height of the eye, a target mirror position for a movable mirror to reflect an image on to a reflective surface, wherein the image reflects off of the reflective surface and towards the user at an angle of inclination to reach the user at the height of the eye, the angle of inclination being constant for different heights of the eye, and causing the movable mirror to move to the target mirror position.

Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for a method for controlling backlighting of a heads up display of a vehicle. In one example, the method includes adjusting different backlighting regions of the heads up display differently without analyzing a displayed image. In another example, different backlighting regions include a first region and a second region that do not overlap, and adjusting is based on a vehicle operating parameter, user input, and/or a vehicle mode. In another example, backlighting is controlled via a backlight with an array of light emitting elements, and regions include separate adjacent groups of light emitting elements.
