Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Anzeigeeinrichtung insbesondere für ein Kraftfahrzeug, mit einem Gehäuse, in dem ein von einer Ansteuereinheit ansteuerbares, großflächiges elektrooptisches Anzeigefeld zur Darstellung von Informations- und/oder Meßwertanzeigen angeordnet ist und mit einer auf der Seite eines Beobachters vor dem elektrooptischen Anzeigefeld angeordneten Blende, die den Informations- und/oder Meßwertanzeigen zugeordnete Öffnungen besitzt.The invention relates to a Display device, in particular for a motor vehicle, with a Casing, in which a large-area electro-optical display field that can be controlled by a control unit to represent information and / or readouts is arranged and with one on the side of an observer arranged on the electro-optical display panel, which the information and / or measured value displays assigned openings has.
Bei derartigen Anzeigeeinrichtungen ist es bekannt, vor dem elektrooptischen Anzeigefeld eine Blende anzuordnen, die Öffnungen besitzt, welche Informations-und Meßwertanzeigen, die durch das Anzeigefeld darstellbar sind, zugeordnet sind. Dabei sind die Informations- und Meßwertanzeigen sowohl in ihrer Anordnung als auch in ihrem Aussehen nicht veränderbar. Ebenfalls nicht veränderbar sind die Größe und das Anordnungsmuster der Öffnungen in der Blende.With such display devices it is known to have an aperture in front of the electro-optical display panel to arrange the openings possesses which information and measured value displays by the display field are representable, are assigned. The information and measured value displays not changeable both in their arrangement and in their appearance. Also not changeable are the size and that Arrangement pattern of the openings in the aperture.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher eine Anzeigeeinrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die auf einfache Weise ein Verändern der Art und/oder der Größe und/oder des Anordnungsmusters der Darstellung von Informations- und/oder Meßwertanzeigen ermöglicht.The object of the invention is therefore to create a display device of the type mentioned at the outset, which is easy to change the type and / or the size and / or the arrangement pattern of the display of information and / or measured value displays allows.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Blende eine von mehreren lösbar anordenbaren Austauschblenden unterschiedlicher Größe und/oder Anordnungsmuster der Öffnungen ist und dass die Darstellung der Informations- und/oder Meßwertanzeigen entsprechend der Öffnungen der jeweils angeordneten Austauschblende von der Ansteuereinheit ansteuerbar ist.This object is achieved according to the invention solved, that the cover is one of several detachably interchangeable replacement covers different size and / or Arrangement pattern of the openings is and that the display of information and / or measured value displays according to the openings the respectively arranged replacement panel from the control unit is controllable.
Damit kann das Anzeigebild der Anzeigeeinrichtung je nach Wunsch verändert werden.This allows the display image of the display device changed as desired become.
Möchte ein Besitzer eines Kraftfahrzeugs die Darstellung des Kombinationsinstruments, das eine solche Anzeigeeinrichtung aufweist, verändern, so kann er dies ganz nach seinen Wünschen tun. Sagt ihm die standardmäßig mit seinem Kraftfahrzeug gelieferte Darstellung des Kombinationsinstruments nicht zu und möchte er eine ihm vertraute Darstellung oder eine von ihm selbst entworfene Darstellung in seinem Kraftfahrzeug haben, so kann er dies nun realisieren, indem er eine entsprechend andere Austauschblende anordnet und das elektrooptische Anzeigefeld zu einer dieser Austauschblende passenden Darstellung der Informations- und Meßwertanzeigen von der Ansteuereinheit angesteuert wird. Dazu ist vorzugsweise das gesamte elektrooptische Anzeigefeld frei programmierbar ansteuerbar.Would like to an owner of a motor vehicle displays the combination instrument, that has such a display device, he can do so entirely according to his wishes to do. Tell him by default representation of the combination instrument supplied to his motor vehicle to and would like he is familiar with a presentation or one designed by himself Display in his motor vehicle, he can now realize this, by arranging a correspondingly different exchange panel and that electro-optical display field to match one of these replacement panels Representation of the information and measured value displays from the control unit is controlled. The entire electro-optical display field is preferably for this purpose freely programmable, controllable.
Darüber hinaus kann die Austauschblende je nach Wunsch ein beliebiges Design besitzen. So ist es möglich, dass die Sichtseite der Austauschblende eine einfache schwarze oder farbige oder auch beliebig lackierte Oberfläche besitzt. Die Öffnungen können mit Chromringen eingefaßt und die Austauschblende mit beliebigen Applikationen versehen sein. Solche zusätzlichen Applikationen können z.B. die Austauschblende beleuchtende Lichtelemente sein.In addition, the replacement panel have any design as desired. So it is possible that the visible side of the replacement panel is a simple black or colored one or also has any lacquered surface. The openings can edged with chrome rings and the replacement panel can be provided with any applications. Such additional Applications can e.g. the replacement panel be illuminating light elements.
Das elektrooptische Anzeigefeld besitzt eine besonders geringe Tiefe und damit ein besonders geringes Raumerfordernis, wenn es ein Flüssigkristallanzeigefeld oder ein Elektrolumineszenzanzeigefeld oder ein Plasmaanzeigefeld ist.The electro-optical display field has a particularly small depth and thus a particularly small space requirement, if it's a liquid crystal display panel or an electroluminescent display panel or a plasma display panel is.
Insbesondere dann, wenn der Eigentümer des Kraftfahrzeugs die Art der Darstellung, die Größe und das Anordnungsmuster selbst frei festlegen will, können die Informationen von Größe und/oder Anordnungsmuster der Darstellung der Informa tions- und/oder Meßwertanzeigen manuell der Ansteuereinheit eingebbar sein.Especially if the owner of the Motor vehicle the type of representation, the size and the arrangement pattern wants to decide freely the information of size and / or Arrangement pattern of the display of information and / or measured value displays be manually input to the control unit.
Wird aber eine von mehreren Standartkombinationsanzeigen ausgewählt, so ist es besonders einfach, wenn die Informationen von Größe und/oder Anordnungsmuster der Darstellung der Informations- und/oder Meßwertanzeigen selbsttätig zuleitbar sind.But becomes one of several standard combination displays selected, So it is particularly easy if the information is of size and / or pattern the presentation of the information and / or measured value displays can be automatically fed are.
Dies erfolgt dabei zwangsläufig, wenn jede Austauschblende eine Informationseinheit trägt, durch die bei in dem Gehäuse angeordneter Austauschblende die deren Größe und/oder Anordnungsmuster entsprechenden Informationen der Ansteuereinrichtung der elektrooptischen Anzeige zuleitbar sind.This inevitably occurs when each replacement panel carries an information unit through which when arranged in the housing Exchange cover the their size and / or Arrangement pattern corresponding information of the control device can be fed to the electro-optical display.
Eine Möglichkeit zur Zuleitung der Informationen besteht dabei darin, dass die Informationen von Größe und/oder Anordnungsmuster der Austauschblende berührungslos von der Informationseinheit der Ansteuereinrichtung zuleitbar sind.One way to feed the Information consists in that the information is of size and / or Arrangement pattern of the exchange panel contactless from the information unit of the Control device can be fed.
Ist die Informationseinheit mittels einer Steckkontakteinrichtung mit der Ansteuereinrichtung verbindbar, so erfolgt durch die Montage der Austauschblende automatisch auch eine Zuleitung der entsprechenden Informationen zur Ansteuereinrichtung.Is the information unit by means of a plug contact device can be connected to the control device, this is done automatically by installing the replacement panel a supply of the corresponding information to the control device.
Soll zwar das Anordnungsmuster der Öffnungen beibehalten, aber in den Öffnungen andere Informations- und/oder Meßwertanzeigen dargestellt werden, so kann die Informationseinheit eine austauschbare Informationseinheit sein. Die Austauschblende selbst kann dann beibehalten bleiben.Should be the arrangement pattern of the openings maintained, but in the openings other information and / or measured value displays are shown, the information unit can thus be an exchangeable information unit his. The replacement panel itself can then be retained.
Eine einfache Montage ergibt sich, wenn die Austauschblende durch eine Rastverbindung in dem Gehäuse vor dem elektrooptischen Anzeigefeld lösbar anordenbar ist.A simple assembly results if the replacement panel before by a snap connection in the housing the electro-optical display panel can be arranged releasably.
