  • Patent number: 11932108
    Abstract: A display panel with a first panel side and a second panel side is included in a display device. The display panel displays at least one graphic display object. The display panel includes a first layer which is a pixel matrix and a second layer which includes a plurality of predetermined primary subareas. The display device includes control circuitry to enable the displaying of the graphic display object based on a predefined display alignment in one of a first orientation and a second orientation. The control circuitry adjusts a respective light transmission to a predetermined individual degree for each of the predetermined primary subareas independent of each other based on a physical environment condition.

  • Publication number: 20230054576
    Abstract: A display device may include a flexible display surface element having a display surface, and an adjustment unit which includes a clamping element in form of a rod and arranged such that the rod moves in a first adjustment direction, a restoring element arranged on the clamping element, and a deflection element in form of a rod. A first side edge of the display surface element is arranged on a length of the clamping element. A second side edge of the display surface element opposite the first side edge is connected to the clamping element via the restoring element. A surface of the display surface element is bent and has a bending region. A length of the deflection element extends in same direction as the clamping element, the deflection element extends within the bending region of the bent display surface element and is arranged such that the deflection element moves in a second adjustment direction to change a distance between the deflection element and the clamping element.
