Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Display zur Anzeige von betriebs- und/oder verkehrsbezogenen Daten in einem Kraftfahrzeug, gemäß Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a display for displaying operational and / or traffic-related Data in a motor vehicle, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Displayanzeigen in Kraftfahrzeugen sind vielfach bekannt. Neben der reinen Verwendung von Analoginstrumenten hat die Verwendung von Displayelementen zur Anzeige von betriebs- und/oder verkehrsbezogenen Daten den Vorteil, daß die Anzeigedarstellung variabel ist und nicht durch eine feste Skalierung vorgegeben ist.Display advertisements in motor vehicles are widely known. In addition to the pure Use of analog instruments has the use of display elements Display of operational and / or traffic-related data the advantage that the Display representation is variable and is not specified by a fixed scaling.

Es sind dabei sogenannte Multifunktionsbedienelemente bekannt, die zumeist in der Mittelkonsole bzw. im Armaturenbereich mittig eingebaut sind, in Anwendung. Um dieses Display herum sind zumeist Tasten, die entsprechende Gerätezuweisungen zum Display und eine entsprechend variable Darstellung auf dem selben gewährleisten.So-called multifunction control elements are known, most of which are in the Center console or in the center of the fittings are in use. To this Around the display are mostly buttons, the corresponding device assignments to the display and ensure a correspondingly variable display on the same.

Darüber hinaus ist aus der WO 92/08 210 ein sogenanntes Buchungssystem für Straßengebühren bekannt, welches ebenfalls mit einem Display und einer Bedienfläche versehen ist. Diese besagte Einheit läßt sich im Fahrzeug an verschiedenen Stellen unterbringen und ist darüber hinausgehend zweiteilig ausgeführt, nämlich bestehend aus einem Gerät und einem Sockel zur Haltung und zur Herstellung elektrischer Verbindungen, in welchen das Gerät eingeschoben werden kann.In addition, WO 92/08 210 describes a so-called booking system for Street fees known, which also has a display and a control surface is provided. This unit can be found in various places in the vehicle accommodate and is also carried out in two parts, namely consisting of a device and a base for holding and producing electrical Connections in which the device can be inserted.

Aus der EP 0 636 507 B1 ist ein Anzeigegerät für ortsvariable Anbringung im Kraftfahrzeug bekannt. Durch die ortsvariable Verschiebbarkeit bzw. Veränderbarkeit in der Plazierung des Anzeigeinstrumentes fallen jedoch bestimmte Funktionszuweisungen weg, die eine bestimmte ortsfeste oder zumindest ortsbezogene Lage bedingen.EP 0 636 507 B1 describes a display device for variable mounting in the Motor vehicle known. Due to the location-variable displaceability or changeability in however, the placement of the display instrument includes certain functional assignments way that require a certain fixed or at least location-related location.

Der Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Display zur Anzeige von betriebs- und/oder verkehrsbezogenen Daten dahingehend zu verbessern, daß im Hinblick auf die Plazierung desselben eine gute Einsehbarkeit gegeben ist, dasselbe jedoch baulich aus üblichen Anzeigeinstrumentierungen separiert ist. The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a display for displaying operational and / or to improve traffic-related data in such a way that with regard to the Placement of the same is good visibility, but the same from a structural point of view usual display instrumentation is separated.  

Die gestellte Aufgabe wird bei einem Display der gattungsgemäßen Art erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst.The object is achieved according to the invention in a display of the generic type solved by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des erfindungsgemäßen Displays sind in den abhängigen nachfolgenden Ansprüchen angegeben.Further advantageous embodiments of the display according to the invention are in the dependent subsequent claims specified.

Kern der Erfindung besteht nunmehr darin, daß das Display räumlich in der Nähe anderer Anzeigeinstrumente, jedoch bezogen auf deren Anzeigeebene, räumlich zum Betrachter hin abgehoben bzw. hervorgehoben angeordnet ist. Hierdurch wird erreicht, daß das Display im Bereich ansonsten häufig eingesehener Instrumentierung plaziert ist, jedoch von der Anzeigeebene zum Betrachter hin abgehoben ist. Dadurch wird zum einen erreicht, daß das Display keine weitere und zusätzliche Blickrichtung des Fahrers beansprucht, die vom Verkehrsgeschehen ablenken könnte, darüber hinausgehend sich das Display jedoch optisch erheblich von der übrigen Anzeigenebene deutlich abhebt.The essence of the invention is now that the display is spatially nearby other display instruments, but related to their display level, spatially at Viewer is lifted or highlighted. This ensures that the display is placed in the area of otherwise frequently viewed instrumentation, but is lifted from the display level towards the viewer. This will become one achieved that the display no further and additional direction of view of the driver claimed, which could distract from the traffic, beyond the display, however, stands out significantly from the rest of the ad level.

Hierbei ist es vorteilhaft, daß im weiteren ausgestaltet ist, daß die Anzeigeinstrumentierung die des Kombiinstrumentes ist. Das bedeutet somit, daß das Display zumindest begrifflich räumlich Teil des Kombiinstrumentes sein kann, jedoch in der, wie in Anspruch 1 genannten Weise von der übrigen Ebene der Anzeigeninstrumentierung räumlich abgehoben angeordnet ist. Auf diese Weise ist es im Blickfeld der im übrigen auch permanent einzusehenden Anzeigeninstrumentierung im Kombiinstrument, hebt sich von derselben aber deutlich ab. Insgesamt ergibt sich durch diese Ausbildung eine völlige Neukonzipierbarkeit des Displays als solche.It is advantageous here that it is further developed that the Display instrumentation is that of the instrument cluster. So that means that Display can at least be conceptually part of the instrument cluster, but in which, as mentioned in claim 1, from the remaining level of Ad instrumentation is spatially isolated. That way it is in the Field of view of the ad instrumentation in the Instrument cluster, but stands out clearly from the same. Overall results from this training a complete redesign of the display as such.

In weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung wird das Display frei programmierbar gestaltet, so daß es multifunktionell einsetzbar ist.In a further advantageous embodiment, the display is designed to be freely programmable, so that it is multifunctional.

In weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, daß das Display auf einem frei einstellbaren Sockel angeordnet ist, so daß die Blickrichtung bzw. der Sichtstrahl zur einsehenden Person veränderbar ist.In a further advantageous embodiment it is provided that the display on a free adjustable base is arranged so that the line of sight or the line of sight to viewing person is changeable.

In weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung ist angegeben, daß das Display transluszent ist. Dies bedeutet, daß das Display als solches nicht nur räumlich von der Anzeigenebene wie eine kleine Scheibe abgehoben ist, sondern daß es auch durchscheinend ist. Die Beaufschlagung der beispielsweise Flüssigkristalle innerhalb eines solches durchscheinenden Displays, nach Art einer durchscheinenden gefärbten Scheibe, erfolgt dadurch, daß sich nur in den beaufschlagten Informationssegmenten dieselben farblich verändern. In den übrigen Bereichen, die in ansonsten gewählten LCD-Anzeigen Hintergrund sind, ist das besagte Display transparent. Hierdurch ergeben sich eine Reihe von erheblichen Vorteilen.In a further advantageous embodiment it is stated that the display is translucent. This means that the display as such is not just spatially from the ad level like a small disk is lifted off, but that it is also translucent. The Actuation of the liquid crystals, for example, within one  translucent displays, in the manner of a translucent colored pane in that the same color changes only in the loaded information segments change. In the other areas, the otherwise selected LCD displays Background, the said display is transparent. This results in a number of considerable advantages.

So kann beispielsweise in weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung das Display randseitig teilweise die Anzeigeinstrumentierung überdeckend ausgestaltet sein. Durch die transparente durchscheinende Eigenschaft, die das entsprechende Display hat, erscheint die Displayanzeige, wie eine auf einer holographischen, also eigentlich nicht existenten oder durchscheinenden Projektionsfläche projizierte Darstellung. Dadurch kann das Display größer ausgestaltet sein, als es ansonsten der Zwischenraum zwischen beispielsweise zwei Anzeigeninstrumentierungen im Kombiinstrument zulassen würde. Dies deshalb, weil randseitig durch das Display hindurchgeschaut werden kann, und die vom Display überdeckten Anzeigenareale der übrigen Instrumentierungen nur scheinbar verdeckt werden.For example, in a further advantageous embodiment, the display can be on the edge partially designed to cover the display instrumentation. Through the transparent translucent property that has the corresponding display appears the display, like one on a holographic, so actually nonexistent or translucent projection screen projected representation. This can do that Display should be larger than the space between for example, would allow two display instrumentation in the instrument cluster. This is because the edge can be seen through the display, and the Display areas of the other instrumentation covered by the display only seemingly be covered.

In weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist das besagte Displayelement oder das Display randlos. Somit wird die Wirkung des durch das Hindurchsehenkönnens durch das Display unterstützt.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, said display element is or the display borderless. Thus, the effect of being able to see through supported by the display.

In weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung ist angegeben, daß das Display mittig im Kombiinstrument plaziert ist, wodurch es in optimaler Weise auch durch die Lenkradanordnung üblicher Bauart in nahezu allen Betriebsarten des Fahrzeuges einsehbar ist.In a further advantageous embodiment it is indicated that the display in the middle Instrument cluster is placed, which means that it is optimally positioned through the Steering wheel arrangement of conventional design in almost all operating modes of the vehicle is visible.

In weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung ist angegeben, daß das Display frei wählbaren Geräten im Kraftfahrzeug frei wählbar zuordenbar ist. Hierdurch ergibt sich, daß das Display auch multifunktional eingesetzt werden kann.In a further advantageous embodiment it is stated that the display can be freely selected Devices in the motor vehicle can be freely assigned. This means that Display can also be used multifunctionally.

In letzter weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist angegeben, daß das Display lagemäßig mechanisch an die Lenkstockverstellung gekoppelt ist. Hierdurch wird ermöglicht, daß bei Einstellung der Lenkradhöhenverstellung das Display sich entsprechend mitneigt, um einen optimalen Sichtstrahl, auch bei verstelltem Lenkrad stets nachzuführen.In the last further embodiment of the invention it is stated that the display is mechanically coupled to the steering column adjustment. This will enables the display to change when the steering wheel height is adjusted accordingly inclines to an optimal line of sight, even when the steering wheel is adjusted always track.

Die Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und nachfolgend näher beschrieben.The invention is illustrated in the drawing and described in more detail below.

Es zeigt:It shows:

Fig. 1: Kombiinstrument mit mittig angeordnetem Display. Fig. 1: Instrument cluster with a centrally located display.

Fig. 2: Kombiinstrumentteilausschnitt mit seitlicher Ansicht auf Display. Fig. 2: Instrument cluster section with a side view on the display.

Fig. 1 zeigt in Frontdarstellung mit Draufsicht auf das Kombiinstrument 1 und die Plazierung bzw. die erfindungsgemäße Plazierung des ebenfalls erfindungsgemäßen Displays 10. Die Kombiinstrumentierung enthält in üblicher Verteilung in Großinstrumentierung das Tachometer 3 sowie den Drehzahlmesser 2. Darüber hinausgehend sind weitere Anzeigen wie Kühlwassertemperatur und Tankfüllzustand sowie Uhrzeit und dergleichen vorgesehen. Fig. 1 shows in front view with a plan view of the instrument panel 1 and the placement and the placement of the display according to the invention 10 also according to the invention. The instrument cluster contains the tachometer 3 and the rev counter 2 in the usual distribution in large instrumentation. In addition, other displays such as cooling water temperature and tank fill level as well as time and the like are provided.

Mittig zwischen den beiden Großinstrumenten Tachometer 3 sowie Drehzahlanzeige 2 ist das erfindungsgemäße Display 10 angeordnet. Bei dieser Darstellung ist bereits zu erkennen, daß das Display 10 gegenüber der übrigen Anzeigenebene zum Betrachter hin, und in realiter somit zum Fahrzeugführer hin, von der übrigen Anzeigenebene abgehoben ist. Darüber hinaus ist zu erkennen, daß das Display 10 in seiner randseitigen Erstreckung über die übrige Anzeigeninstrumentierung, hier über den jeweiligen Rand von Tachometer 3 und Drehzahlanzeige 2 des Kombiinstrumentes 1 hinausragend und dieselben teilweise überdeckend ist. Aus dieser Darstellung ist jedoch ebenfalls zu erkennen, daß das Display 10 transluszent ausgestaltet ist, wodurch es als Ganzes durchscheinend, wie eine getönte Scheibe, ist. Dennoch sind innerhalb des Displays 10 Flüssigkristalle angeordnet, die über entsprechende elektrische Signale wie ein üblicher Bildschirm ansteuerbar sind.The display 10 according to the invention is arranged in the middle between the two large instruments, the tachometer 3 and the speed display 2 . In this representation it can already be seen that the display 10 is raised from the rest of the display level in relation to the rest of the display level towards the viewer, and thus in more real way towards the vehicle driver. In addition, it can be seen that the display 10 extends in its edge-side extension over the remaining display instrumentation, here over the respective edge of the speedometer 3 and speed display 2 of the instrument cluster 1 and partially overlaps the same. However, it can also be seen from this illustration that the display 10 is designed to be translucent, as a result of which it is translucent as a whole, like a tinted pane. Nevertheless, 10 liquid crystals are arranged within the display, which can be controlled via corresponding electrical signals such as a conventional screen.

Hierbei wird ersichtlich, daß eine Reihe von Merkmalen in vorteilhafter Weise zusammenwirkend eine völlig neue Art von Displays, in Verbindung mit Kombiinstrumenten herkömmlicher Bauart, ergibt. So kann durch die durchscheinende transluszente Ausführung des Displays ein solches gewählt werden, was in seiner räumlichen Verstreckung größer ist, als ein ansonsten zwischen den Anzeigeinstrumenten integriert plaziertes Display es wäre. Hierdurch wird eine wesentlich größere Anzeigefläche gewährleistet, ohne daß sich die übrige Anzeigeninstrumentierung verkleinern müßte. Die entsprechende bildgenerierende Ansteuerung des Displays führt zu einer Färbung und entsprechender Blickdichtschließung nur in den Arealen und Bereichen, in denen Anzeigen, Symbole oder dergleichen generiert werden. In den übrigen Bereichen, die in üblichen Displays den Hintergrund darstellen, bleibt das erfindungsgemäße transluszente Display durchscheinend, und die übrige Anzeigeninstrumentierung bleibt in ihrer Ablesbarkeit unbeeinflußt bzw. unbeeinträchtigt.It can be seen here that a number of features are advantageous interacting a whole new kind of displays, in conjunction with Instrument cluster of conventional design, results. So through the translucent translucent design of the display can be chosen what in its spatial stretch is greater than an otherwise between the Display instruments integrated placed display it would be. This makes one essential ensures larger display area without the rest  Would have to reduce ad instrumentation. The corresponding image-generating Activation of the display leads to a coloring and corresponding Opaque closing only in the areas and areas in which advertisements, symbols or the like can be generated. In the other areas, the usual displays represent the background, the translucent display according to the invention remains translucent, and the rest of the display instrumentation remains legible unaffected or unaffected.

Das erfindungsgemäße Display 10 kann dabei freiprogrammierbar ansteuerbar gestaltet sein und darüber hinausgehend auch verschiedenen Geräten, nach Art eines Multifunktionsdisplays, zugeordnet sein.The display 10 according to the invention can be designed to be freely programmable and can also be assigned to various devices, in the manner of a multifunction display.

Die Plazierung des Displays 10 ist optimal, da es in der üblichen Blickrichtung des Fahrers liegt. Gegenüber Displays, die im Mittelbereich der Armaturentafel oder in der Konsole angeordnet sind, muß beim hier dargestellten erfindungsgemäßen Display der Fahrzeugführer seinen Blick nicht aus der geradeaus nach vorne gerichteten Blickrichtung zur Mittelkonsole abwenden, sondern behält seine Blickrichtung nach vorne, unabgewendet bei. Dies hat zur Konsequenz, daß die ansonsten übliche Fahrerablenkung, wenn auch nur temporär, hier gänzlich vermieden wird. Insofern ergibt sich hieraus auch ein erheblicher sicherheitstechnischer Aspekt.The placement of the display 10 is optimal since it is in the driver's usual line of sight. Compared to displays which are arranged in the center area of the dashboard or in the console, the driver of the display according to the invention shown here does not have to look away from the straight forward direction of the center console, but maintains his direction of view forward, unabated. The consequence of this is that the otherwise usual driver distraction, if only temporarily, is completely avoided here. In this respect, there is also a significant safety aspect.

Ebenfalls ist bereits in der Darstellung der Fig. 1 zu erkennen, daß am unteren Rand des Displays dasselbe mit einer Art Lagerung oder Halteeinrichtung verbunden ist, auf welcher es in der erfindungsgemäßen Weise, nämlich aus der übrigen Anzeigenebene hervorgehoben, gehalten ist.Also in FIG. 1 can be seen already in the presentation that at the bottom of the screen that it is connected with some kind of storage or holding device on which it is held in the inventive manner, namely highlighted from the rest of the ad level.

Fig. 2 zeigt in Seitendarstellung mit nur noch einem Teilausschnitt des Kombiinstrumentes 1 die erfindungsgemäße Plazierung des erfindungsgemäßen Displays 10. Das Display 10 selbst ist dabei sehr dünn ausgestaltet, und wegen der transluszenten Eigenschaft auch wie eine Scheibe wirkend. Diese sozusagen Displayscheibe ist dabei am unteren Rand mit einer in gewissen Grenzen drehbaren bzw. kippbaren Lagerung 11 befestigt. Diese Kipplagerung 11 ist dabei aus der übrigen Anzeigenebene, wie in er Seitendarstellung deutlich erkennbar, nach vorne aus derselben abgehoben. Fig. 2 shows in side view with only a partial section of the combination instrument 1 according to the invention the placement of the display 10 according to the invention. The display 10 itself is designed to be very thin and, due to the translucent property, also acts like a pane. This display screen, so to speak, is attached to the lower edge with a bearing 11 that can be rotated or tilted within certain limits. This tilting bearing 11 is lifted out of the rest of the display level, as can clearly be seen in the side view.

Es besteht nun die Möglichkeit, die Kipplagerung 11 entweder elektrisch oder manuell einstellbar zu gestalten oder sogar ggfs. dieselbe mechanisch an die Verstellung der Lenksäule bzw. des Lenkstocks zu koppeln. Durch diese Koppelung wird konsequenterweise bei einer an die Körpergröße und die Blickrichtung angepaßte Einstellung des Lenkstockes auch das Display entsprechend neigend nachgeführt, um den Sichtstrahl der betreffenden Person optimal zu erhalten.It is now possible to design the tilting bearing 11 either electrically or manually, or even to couple it mechanically to the adjustment of the steering column or the steering column. As a result of this coupling, when the steering column is adjusted to the body size and the viewing direction, the display is inclined accordingly in order to optimally maintain the line of sight of the person concerned.
