The automotive industry has been rapidly evolving with the advancement of technology, and one of the key players in this evolution has been Audi. Known for its luxury and innovative designs, Audi has once again caught the attention of car enthusiasts and tech geeks alike with their recent patent filing for a new kind of display device.
This new display device consists of two separate screens – a large main display and a smaller auxiliary display. Its fully adjustable and foldable nature sets it apart from other display systems. The patent mentions that these displays can even be used in autonomous driving and fastened on the sun visor, providing a whole new level of convenience and safety for drivers.
One of the most notable features of this display device is the ability to adjust each screen between an angle of 45 degrees and 200 degrees, placing them both at eye level. This not only enhances the viewing experience but also reduces distractions for the driver as they do not have to take their eyes off the road to check the information displayed on the screens.
Another interesting aspect of this patent is the mention of using the screens for autonomous driving. With the rise of self-driving cars, having a display device that can be easily adjusted and positioned by the passengers can greatly enhance the overall experience. It can also serve as a backup display in case of any technical failures in the car’s main display.
Furthermore, the patent also mentions the use of this display device for navigation purposes. By having the screens positioned at eye level, drivers can easily follow navigation instructions without having to take their eyes off the road. This can significantly improve safety on the road, especially during long-distance drives.
The patent even states that the screens can be fastened to the sun visor, adding to the convenience factor for drivers. A sun visor screen would eliminate the need for additional dashboard or windshield clutter, providing a clean and unobstructed view for the driver.
It is worth noting that the patent specifically mentions that the screens are LCD displays and does not mention anything about the display device being a HUD (Head Up Display). This could mean that Audi is looking to introduce a new and innovative technology that goes beyond the traditional HUD. With the increasing demand for advanced display systems in cars, this patent filing by Audi shows their commitment to staying ahead of the game and providing their customers with the latest and most cutting-edge technology.
