Pivoting internal display unit with fixed screen
Display systems for a vehicle are contemplated that comprise a seat display unit coupled with a display screen, where the display screen is affixed to a seat back and the seat display unit is disposed within the seat back. The display screen is fixed to the seat back such that its relative position with the seat back remains constant when the seat back is reclined. The seat display unit is coupled to the seat back, such that the seat display unit automatically tilts or pivots when the seat back is reclined, and while the display screen does not move relative to the seat back.
1. A display system for a vehicle, comprising:
a seat display unit disposed within a seat having a seat back in a vehicle;
a display screen communicatively coupled with the seat display unit, wherein the display screen is affixed to the seat back, such that the display screen maintains a fixed position and does not tilt or move relative to the seat back when the seat is reclined;
wherein the display unit is configured to project or present content on the display screen; and
wherein the seat display unit is mounted within the seat such that the seat display unit is configured to (i) automatically tilt and (ii) change its position relative to the seat, when the seat is reclined.
2. The display system of claim 1 , wherein the display screen is separable from the seat display unit and is removably affixed to the seat back, such that the display screen can be removed from the seat back without removing the seat display unit.
3. The display screen of claim 1 , wherein the display screen is sized to extend from a first edge of the seat back to a second edge of the seat back.
4. The display screen of claim 1 , wherein the seat display unit comprises a pivot point at a bottom portion of the seat display unit at which the seat display unit is coupled to the seat back or a frame within the seat back, such that when the seat back is reclined, the bottom portion of the seat display unit remains at the pivot point while the top portion of the seat display unit rotates.
5. The display screen of claim 1 , wherein the display screen is coupled to the seat back via a first set of fasteners, and wherein the seat display unit is coupled to the seat back or a frame within the seat back via a second set of fasteners that is distinct from the first set.
6. An in-vehicle display system, comprising:
a plurality of seat display units, each of which is disposed within a seat having a seat back, wherein each of the plurality of seat display units is coupled with a display screen that is affixed to the seat back of the eat where the seat display unit is placed;
wherein each display screen is fixed in place relative to the seat back to which the display screen is mounted and maintains a fixed position and angle relative to the seat back when the seat is reclined; and
wherein each of the seat display units is configured to automatically tilt within the seat where it is disposed as the seat is reclined.
7. The display system of claim 6 , wherein each display screen is separable from the seat display unit and is removably affixed to a seat back, such that the display screen can be removed from the seat back without requiring removal of the seat display unit from the seat back.
8. The display screen of claim 6 , wherein each display screen is sized to extend from a first edge of the seat back where it is affixed to a second opposing edge of the seat back.
9. The display screen of claim 6 , wherein each seat display unit comprises a pivot point at a bottom portion of the seat display unit at which the seat display unit is coupled to the seat back or a frame within the seat back, such that when the seat back is reclined, the bottom portion of the seat display unit remains at the pivot point while the top portion of the seat display unit rotates.
10. The display screen of claim 6 , wherein the display screen is coupled to the seat back via a first set of fasteners, and wherein the seat display unit is coupled to the seat back or a frame within the seat back via a second set of fasteners that is distinct from the first set.
