Patent

Display device for use in motor car, has display e.g. multi-functional display, arranged behind steering wheel, and display controller designed for changing representation of display element based on steering wheel angle of steering wheel

TLDR
In this article, a display controller is designed for changing representation of the display element based on a steering wheel angle of the steering wheel, where peripheral angle position and breadth of steering wheel spokes (21, 22) and inner radius of a gripping ring (24) are considered during the representation of a display element.
Abstract
The device (40) has a display (10) e.g. multi-functional display, arranged behind a steering wheel (20), and a display controller (42) for representing a central display element (11) on the display. The display controller is designed for changing representation of the display element based on a steering wheel angle of the steering wheel, where peripheral angle position and breadth (48) of steering wheel spokes (21, 22) and inner radius of a steering wheel gripping ring (24) are considered during the representation of the display element. An independent claim is also included for a method for representing information on a dashboard of a motor car.
