FLEXIBLE LIGHT GUIDE FOR VEHICLE DISPLAY APPLICATIONS

摘要

The present invention relates to a vehicle display assembly including at least one flexible light guide in a path of illumination to illuminate predetermined different shapes, contours, areas, and/or surfaces of the vehicle display assembly. The flexible light guide is made of silicon or another material suitable to provide flexibility to allow use of the same flexible light guide in different vehicle display assembly shapes and to be a light guide conductor. The flexible light guide is mountable adjacent to at least one light source within the vehicle display assembly to illuminate the predetermined shapes, contours, areas, and/or surfaces of the vehicle display assembly visible to vehicle occupants.
