Abstract
A system for addressing a washout condition on a vehicle display includes an instrument cluster that makes up a first display panel, an infotainment cluster that makes up a second display panel positioned apart from the instrument cluster. The system also includes a conlight sensor to determine a sunlight condition, a navigation unit to determine navigational information pertaining to the vehicle, and an electronic control unit communicatively coupled to the first display panel, the second display panel, the conlight sensor, and the navigation unit. The electronic control unit determines an estimated light intensity on the first display panel based on the navigation information and the sunlight condition, and presents a prompt on the second display panel to duplicate contents displayed on the first display panel onto the second display panel when the estimated light intensity exceeds a reference light intensity value.
