Patent number: 11299045Abstract: A method for operating a display arrangement of a motor vehicle, which includes at least two display devices each with a display surface. A visible display content can be shifted here three-dimensionally between two display planes. A detection and evaluation device of an operator control device carries out: acquisition of an operator control action by a touch-sensitive operator control surface, preferably a pulling and/or shifting gesture, and of its extension direction, and, on the basis of the determined extension direction, determination of a data set which describes the display content, as well as determination of a predetermined shift of a virtual image of the display content from one of the display planes to the other of the display planes.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2018Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: AUDI AGInventors: Thomas Knittl, Xenia Sichwardt, Peter Zeinar, Patrik Müller, Maksymilian Nawka

Publication number: 20090029195Abstract: A thin film consisting of at least two layers of a ceramic material, a ceramic and metallic material, or in the case of several layers a metallic material. All layers of the thin film have a maximum average particle size of approximately 500 nm and at least two layers consist of different material.
