IN-VEHICLE LIGHTING DEVICE AND OPERATING METHOD

摘要

The invention uses the backlight of a display monitor such as LCD monitor or OLED monitor as the lighting to replace dome light lamp in a vehicle.;The in-vehicle lighting device has an input circuit for inputting commands to generate the dome light, a control circuit for receiving the commands and outputting an equivalent panel signal, and a display monitor for receiving the equivalent panel signal and emitting the dome light based on the equivalent panel signal.

主权项

1. An in-vehicle lighting device set inside a vehicle for emitting dome light, the in-vehicle lighting device comprising:
an input circuit for inputting a plurality of commands comprising characteristic of the dome light, wherein the characteristic of the dome light includes a predetermined and focused shape, color, and brightness of the dome light; a scalar processor wherein the scalar processor receives a data from an MCU processor; wherein the data describes the predetermined and focused shape, color, and brightness of the dome light and the scalar processor outputs a panel signal representing the predetermined and focused shape, color and brightness of the dome light, and the panel signal generated by the scalar processor applied to a display monitor to emit the dome light with the characteristics of the predetermined and focused shape, color and brightness, therefore the scalar processor controlling the predetermined focused shape, color, and brightness of the dome light; wherein the display monitor receives the panel signal to emit the dome light that matches the predetermined and focused shape, color and brightness characterized in the panel signal received from the scalar processor or display a plurality of multimedia contents based on the panel signal, wherein a backlight of the display monitor or the display monitor itself is used to generate the dome light with the characteristics of the predetermined and focused shape, color and brightness as dome light lamp of the vehicle when the display monitor is used as the dome light lamp of the vehicle, and the backlight of the display monitor or the display monitor itself is used to provide backlight of the multimedia contents when the display monitor is used to play the multimedia contents.
