Switchable Privacy Displays

100% Entertainment. 0% Distraction.

In the short term, passenger displays will become mainstream for seamless mobility. For a holistic user experience the passenger display should be able to show content visible to all passengers in the car. In addition, the co-driver needs the possibility for interaction with the passenger display. Watching movies is one essential entertainment aspect for in-car infotainment.

However, the driver must not get distracted by movies or other media that is used by the co-driver. Therefore, the passenger display must be able to be switched into a state, where the driver cannot see screen content of the person sitting next to them.

The private mode is created by a strongly directed light that is fully visible only from the co-drivers viewing angle, while less than one percent is visible for the driver.
