First Claim
Patent Images
1. A display device for a vehicle, comprising:
- a brightness sensor;
a temperature sensor disposed proximate to the brightness sensor and configured to detect a temperature, wherein the temperature is used to adjust a measurement of the brightness sensor;
a printed circuit board having the brightness sensor and the temperature sensor electrically coupled thereto;
a flexible fiber-optic cable comprising a light input point and a light output point, wherein the fiber-optic cable is configured to direct light into the brightness sensor; and
an adaptor element disposed proximate to the light output point and the brightness sensor, and coupled to the printed circuit board, wherein the adaptor element is extruded via an injection molding process onto the fiber-optic cable to establish an integral bond.

Abstract
A display is disclosed, such as for a vehicle. A brightness sensor receives light from a flexible fiber-optic cable. An adapter element is provided proximate, such as between, the light output point of the optical fiber and the brightness sensor. The adapter element may be an angled piece, and may be extruded onto the optical cable.
