  • Patent number: 10275914
    Abstract: A display system for a commercial vehicle, having a capturing unit for acquiring image data of the vehicle environment, a calculation unit and a display unit for displaying an image to be displayed with an image portion. The calculation unit is adapted to carry out a modification of the image data acquired by the capturing unit and to supply the modified image data to the display unit for display. The modification uses overlaying or superimposing of an overlay portion on the image portion of the image to be displayed, wherein the overlay portion is positioned within or directly adjacent to the image portion, and wherein the image portion further includes a measuring portion. An image characteristic of the image portion is acquired in the measuring portion. The calculation unit is adapted to determine an overlay portion characteristic dependent on the acquired image characteristic.

  • Publication number: 20110115913
    Abstract: At least a first and second monitoring device that outputs display signals to a control device. A display device connected with the control device is able to display the display signals from the monitoring devices in at least two sections in split screen mode. The control device is connected to an actual state of motion signal line, so that depending on the actual state of motion of the vehicle, the display device displays at least two display signals originating from at least two different monitoring devices in split screen mode.
