A decorative member according the present disclosure includes: a wooden veneer having a plurality of through-holes which transmit light from a back face side to a front face side; a transparent reinforcing layer laminated to a back face side of the veneer; and a coating layer which is laminated to a front face side of the veneer and fills interiors of the plurality of through-holes.

An electronic display device includes: a chassis including a plurality of mounting elements and an antenna, a power supply, a controller, a media player, a gateway, and a terminal; and a display panel comprising a plurality of display modules mounted to the mounting elements, wherein each display module includes a video display on a front surface of the display module and is positioned relative to the chassis using one or more locating pins located on a back surface of the display module that cooperate with one or more receiving holes in a front surface of the mounting elements, is magnetically secured to the chassis, and is locked in place relative to each respective mounting element using a locking mechanism, such that each individual display module may be secured or removed from the chassis independently; wherein the controller causes the media player to display media content on the display panel.

A self-contained illuminated sign for mounting on a vehicle is disclosed. The sign includes a front panel, a rear panel situated opposite and substantially parallel to the front panel in spaced relation therefrom to define a space therebetween, and a light source comprising a plurality of LEDs. The light source is positioned between the front and rear panels and is configured to emit light that emanates from the front panel. The front panel is thus backlit to display indicia. A system for supporting a self-contained illuminated sign on a vehicle is also disclosed. The system includes the sign and a separate mounting frame mountable on a vehicle. The mounting frame is configured to removably receive the sign and, when the sign is received in the mounting frame, to surround a perimeter of the sign while permitting visibility of the front display area. Related methods are also disclosed.

The present invention relates generally to the field of displaying devices for vehicles. More specifically, the present invention relates to an illuminated vehicle display device primarily comprised of a top cover, a circuit board, a bottom cover, and a housing with at least one solar panel. The device can be attached via at least one fastener to the interior surface of a vehicle window, wherein the circuit board has at least one LED that is powered by a solar panel which illuminates the top cover. In differing embodiments, the top cover may have a plurality of indicia such as, but not limited to: patterns, logos, emblems, images, symbols, designs, letters, numbers, words, characters, animals, advertisements, brands, etc. and may further be shaped like said indicia.

This technology relates to a display mounted messaging system. The display mounted messaging system may include a light emitting diode (LED) display attached to a housing of a sensor. The housing of the sensor may rotate. The display mounted messaging system may also include an LED controller which is configured to selectively activate and deactivate at least one LED in the LED display, to provide a message in the direction of an intended recipient.

A light-emitting emblem includes a light-emitting element as a light source, a housing that houses the light-emitting element and includes an opening, a cover including an emblem on a surface thereof and a light-emitting portion on the surface to allow light emitted from the light-emitting element to be extracted therethrough, the cover being attached to the housing so as to cover the opening, and at least one of a first rib on the housing and a second rib on the cover, the first rib extending from the housing toward the cover, and the second rib extending from the cover toward the housing.

An aircraft passenger service unit signage placard adapted to be retrofitted to a passenger service unit, the placard comprising at least a first signage area and a second signage area, wherein the first signage area is arranged to be illuminated by a switchable illumination means in the passenger service unit and wherein the placard comprises a first and a second layer and photoluminescent material is provided on at least one of the first and second layers of the placard in the second signage area, the second signage area having at least one first icon illuminated by the photoluminescent material such that the first icon is always illuminated in use.

An apparatus, according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a vehicle body member and at least one badge that identifies at least one service provider. The badge comprises an applique that is mounted to the vehicle body member. A control activates and deactivates illumination of the badge based on at least one of a driver or user input. A method according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, mounting at least one badge to a vehicle body member, the badge comprising an applique that includes one or more identification logos, and illuminating at least one identification logo based on at least one of a driver or user input.

The invention relates to an area light decorative element (1) comprising an optically activatable symbol body (2) at least partially formed of a transparent optically activatable first material (9) and configured to emit visible light in response to the optically activatable symbol body (2) being excited with electromagnetic radiation in a predetermined first frequency range, a light element (3) consisting of a transparent material, wherein the optically activatable symbol body (2) is arranged in the light element (3), a touch-sensitive surface (4) disposed in a first area (5) of a surface of the light element (3) above the optically activatable symbol body (2) for detecting a touch of a user in the first area (5), and an illumination unit (6) which is arranged to emit visible light in a predetermined visible frequency range (22) into the light element (3) and, together with the visible light, also to emit electromagnetic radiation in the predetermined first frequency range into the light element (3).

This technology relates to a display mounted messaging system. The display mounted messaging system may include a light emitting diode (LED) display attached to a housing of a sensor. The housing of the sensor may rotate. The display mounted messaging system may also include an LED controller which is configured to selectively activate and deactivate at least one LED in the LED display, to provide a message in the direction of an intended recipient.
