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.

A trim element having an outer surface that is at least partially translucent, the outer surface defining a main display surface and a peripheral display surface, the peripheral display surface extending around at least a portion of the main display surface, a screen of a display device extending opposite the main display surface. The trim member includes an illumination device having a luminous sheet extending opposite the main display surface and the peripheral display surface so as to emit at least a first luminous signal onto the screen and at least a second luminous signal illuminating at least a portion of the peripheral display surface when the luminous sheet is activated.

A trim element having a display area defined by a display device, and an edge piece that includes a peripheral area extending around at least part of the display area, the peripheral area being at least partly translucent, the display area and the peripheral area forming at least a part of an outer surface of the trim element. The trim element further includes an illumination device arranged to illuminate the display device to display images on the display area. The illumination device has a luminous sheet extending at least facing the display area and the peripheral area of the edge piece.

Technologies are generally described for context sensitive display of information on a consumable delivery vehicle with en route preparation. An on-board controller may receive different sets of sensor data associated with time, location, temperature, humidity, captured images, and/or captured audio from sensors on the vehicle or at a destination location. The sensor data may be analyzed/processed at the on-board controller or by a remote control system and instructions may be generated for display of context sensitive information based on received sensor data and/or processed sensor data. One or more displays on the vehicle may display images are associated with a branding, a menu, a pricing, and/or an advertisement based on the generated instructions.

There is disclosed a flexible panel, including (i) a fluorescent layer; (ii) an electroluminescent panel layer arranged to illuminate the fluorescent layer; (iii) an ultraviolet protection layer, transparent to visible light, arranged on a front face of the flexible panel to protect the fluorescent layer, and (iv) an adhesive layer; wherein the adhesive layer is arranged on a rear face of the flexible panel, such that the flexible panel is attachable to a surface. There are further disclosed related systems including such flexible panels and a power supply for the flexible panel; objects including such systems; related kits of parts; related methods of assembly; related methods of connection; and connector systems suitable for connecting such flexible panels to a power supply for the flexible panel.

A color display device (D) is provided, including a colored light-transmitting base material (10), a light-blocking base material, and a light source unit (30) that has at least a part located between the colored light-transmitting base material (10) and the light-blocking base material (20), in which the colored light-transmitting base material (10) has a total light transmittance of 18% or less, and in which the light source unit (30) is disposed such that emission light transmits through the colored light-transmitting base material (10), the color display device having excellent designability and high luminance.

A vehicle lighting system is provided primarily for use with emergency response vehicles. The vehicle lighting system includes at least one luminescent planar sheet affixed to a vehicle's mounting surface. The luminescent planar sheet includes a non-luminescent printed circuit board in the shape of a letter or number which has a top surface of a color which contrasts with the mounting surface's color. The luminescent planar sheet includes a plurality of light emitting LEDs which are surface mounted upon the printed circuit board so as to be arranged in the shape of the desired letter or number with the LEDs covering no more than 20% of the printed circuit board's top surface. Preferably, the LEDs cover no more than 7% the printed circuit board's top surface.

A covering layer (240) is formed by atomic layer deposition (ALD) and contains an insulating inorganic material. An intermediate layer (220) contains a material having a linear expansion coefficient different from that of a material of the covering layer (240). A buffer layer (230) has a surface in contact with the intermediate layer (220), that is, a first surface. The buffer layer (230) has a surface in contact with the covering layer (240), that is, a second surface. A linear expansion coefficient difference between a material of the buffer layer (230) and the inorganic material of the covering layer (240) is less than a linear expansion coefficient difference between the material of the intermediate layer (220) and the inorganic material of the covering layer (240).

Systems and methods for operating light emitting diodes (LEDs) circuits are provided. Aspects include a plurality of sets of light emitting diodes (LEDs), the plurality of sets of LEDs comprising a first set of LEDs and a second set of LEDs and a first current control circuit, wherein the first current control circuit is configured to determine whether a voltage through the first set of LEDs is below a first threshold and responsive to determining that the voltage through the first set of LEDs is below the first threshold, bypass the second set of LEDs.

An integrated aircraft lighting and display panel includes high-density arrays of micro-scale light-emitting diodes (LED) set into a flexible printed circuit board (PCB). The PCB and LED arrays may be set into structural layers corresponding to overhead panels, side panels, bin panels, divider panels, doorway panels, or other interior structural panels of the aircraft. The LED arrays may be activated by a controller to provide cabin lighting, indicate aircraft signage, display high-resolution image or video graphics, or any simultaneous combination of all three. The panel may have a translucent or transparent decorative outer skin which may mimic the outward appearance of wood, stone, bamboo, or other decorative materials while the integrated lighting and display panels are inactive. Highly reflective core materials, such as an aluminum core in a honeycomb pattern, may guide the luminous output of the LED arrays through the outer skin.
