Abstract

A system (20) for displaying electronically generated images within a vehicle includes two display screens (30, 34). One display screen (30) is dedicated to displaying images for the driver of the vehicle while the second display screen (34) is dedicated to generating images for a passenger of the vehicle. The images on the two display screens (30, 34) are generated independently of each other. The display screens (30, 34) preferably are mounted on frames (26, 28) that are movable relative to each other and the interior of the vehicle so that one screen (30) is viewable to the driver and the other (34) faces a passenger.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS[received by the International Bureau on 9 March 1998 (09.03.98); original claims 1-15 replaced by amended claims 1-14 (5 pages)]
1. A device (20) for displaying an electronically generated image, comprising: a frame including two panel support surfaces (26,28); a first display screen (30) supported on one of said panel support surfaces (26); a second display screen (34) supported on the other of said panel support surfaces (28); a first control switch (32) supported near said first display screen that is manipulable to control a display on said first display screen; a second control switch (36) supported near said second display screen that is manipulable to control a display on said second display screen; and characterized by said frame being supported on an instrument panel (22) within a vehicle and wherem said panel support surfaces are moveable relative to each other between a first position where said first and second display screens are generally co-planar and a second position where said first and second display screens are angled relative to each other.
2. The device of claim 1, wherem said two panel support surfaces each include a front face and first and second ends at opposite sides of said front faces, said display screens being supported on said panel support surfaces such that said screens are generally co-planar with said front faces, respectively, said first ends of said support surfaces being adjacent each other and hingedly connected such that said support surfaces are moveable between said first and second positions. -13-
3. The device of claim 2, wherein said second ends of said support surfaces are pivotally and slidably supported on said instrument panel such that said second ends pivot and slide relative to said instrument panel when said panel support surfaces axe moved between said first and second positions.
4. The device of claim 3, further comprising a cover (60) that is supported on said instrument panel and moveable between a first cover position where said cover covers over said frame and display screens when said panel support surfaces are in said first position and a second cover position where said display screens are not covered by said cover.
5. The device of claim 1, further comprising a first shelf portion (44) that is supported to extend generally away from said first display screen and a second shelf portion (50) that is supported to extend generally away from said second display screen, and wherein each said shelf portion includes at least one adjustment switch (46, 52) that is manipulable to control a displayed image on a respective display screen.
6. The device of claim 5, wherein said first and second shelf portions are moveable relative to said panel support surfaces between a use position where said adjustment switch is accessible to a user for controlling a displayed image and a storage position.
-14-
7. A system (20) for displaying visual images within a vehicle, comprising: a first frame (26) supported in the vehicle such that said first frame is moveable between a plurality of positions; a first display screen (30) supported on said first frame; a second frame supported (28) in the vehicle such that said second frame is moveable between a plurality of positions; a second display screen (34) supported on said second frame; a controller (66) that is coupled to said first and second display screens and controls a displayed image on each screen such that a displayed image on said first display screen is independent of a displayed image on said second display screen; and characterized by said first frame (26) being supported on a first visor (80) within the vehicle and wherein said second frame (28) is supported on a second visor within the vehicle, said first and second visors being moveable between a plurality of positions.
8. The system of claim 7, further comprising a first position sensor (88) that senses a position of said first visor and a second position sensor that senses a position of said second visor, said position sensors communicating with said controller (66) such that said controller adjusts a display on said first display screen responsive to a position of said first visor and wherein said controller adjusts a display on said second display screen responsive to a position of said second visor.
9. The system of claim 7, wherein said first frame includes an edge, said second frame includes and edge that is adjacent said first frame edge and wherem said edges are -15- hingedly connected such that said first and second frames are hingedly moveable relative to each other.
10. The system of claim 7 , further comprising a first plurality of selection switches (32) supported on said first frame and a second plurality of selection switches (36) supported on said second frame, said selection switches being manipulable to select an image to be displayed on said display screens, respectively.
11. The system of claim 10, wherein said controller (66) is coupled to a plurality of subsystems within the vehicle and wherein said controller controls said display screens to display one of said subsystems responsive to one of said selection switches being manipulated by a user of said system.
12. The system of claim 11 , further comprising a first adjustment switch (46) for adjusting a display on said first display screen and a second adjustment switch (52) for adjusting a display on said second display screen, and wherein said controller (66) alters an operation condition of a displayed vehicle subsystem responsive to said control knobs being manipulated.
13. The system of claim 7, further comprising a first shelf portion (44) supported near said first frame and including a first adjustment switch (46) that is manipulable to adjust an image on said first display screen and a second shelf portion (50) supported near said second frame and including a second adjustment switch (52) that is manipulable to adjust an -16- image on said second display screen, said shelf portions being moveable between a use position where said adjustment switches are accessible to a user and a storage position.
14. The system of claim 7, further comprising a cover (84) that is moveable between a covering position where said cover is generally over said display screens and a storage position and wherem said controller (66) determines a position of said cover and automatically controls said display screens such that said display screens do not display an image when said cover is in said covering position.
