## Abstract

An automotive vehicle includes a cabin, a controller, and a multi-view display. The multi-view display has a first side facing the cabin and a second side facing the exterior of the vehicle. The multi-view display has a first-side display screen, a second-side display screen, and a blocking layer disposed between the first-side display screen and the second-side display screen. The first-side display screen and the second-side display screen are in communication with the controller and operable to display a first pattern on the first-side display screen and a second pattern, distinct from the first pattern, on the second-side display screen.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An automotive vehicle comprising:
a cabin;
a controller; and
a multi-view display with a first side facing the cabin and a second side facing the exterior of the vehicle, the multi-view display having a first-side display screen, a second-side display screen, and a blocking layer disposed between the first-side display screen and the second-side display screen, the first-side display screen and the second-side display screen being in communication with the controller and operable to display a first pattern on the first-side display screen and a second pattern, distinct from the first pattern, on the second-side display screen.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The automotive vehicle of claim 1, wherein the multi-view display additionally includes a first-side rigid layer disposed on the cabin side of the first-side display screen, and a second-side rigid layer disposed on the exterior side of the second-side display screen.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The automotive vehicle of claim 2, wherein the first-side rigid layer is at least 70% transparent and the second-side rigid layer is at least 70% transparent.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The automotive vehicle of claim 1, wherein the first-side display screen includes a first polymer film provided with fluorescent material, the second-side display screen includes a second polymer film provided with fluorescent material, and the multi-view display includes a first energy source configured to emit energy to a portion of the first polymer film and a second energy source configured to emit energy to a portion of the second polymer film.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The automotive vehicle of claim 4, wherein the first polymer film comprises polyvinyl butyral and the second polymer film comprises polyvinyl butyral.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The automotive vehicle of claim 4, wherein the first polymer film includes a first layer for emission of a first color of the visible spectrum and a second layer for emission of a second color of the visible spectrum.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The automotive vehicle of claim 1, wherein the first-side display screen includes a transparent OLED display, and the second-side display screen includes an array of unidirectional LEDs.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The automotive vehicle of claim 1, wherein the blocking layer is configured to selectively inhibit energy transmission from the first side to the second side.

### Claim 9

A method of displaying a pattern comprising:
providing a multi-view display having plurality of laminated layers including a first polymer film with fluorescent material, a second polymer film with fluorescent material, and an ultraviolet-blocking layer disposed between the first polymer film and the second polymer film;
assembling the multi-view display to an automotive vehicle with the first polymer film oriented toward an interior of the vehicle and the second polymer film oriented toward an exterior of the vehicle;
providing a first ultraviolet energy source;
providing a second ultraviolet energy source;
generating a first pattern by emission of energy from the first source to a portion of the first polymer film; and
generating a second pattern by emission of energy from the second source to a portion of the second polymer film.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, wherein the second pattern is distinct from the first pattern.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, wherein the plurality of laminated layers includes a first rigid layer disposed on a first side of the first polymer film and a second rigid layer on a second side of the second polymer film.

### Claim 12 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, wherein the first polymer film includes a first layer for emission of a first color of the visible spectrum and a second layer for emission of a second color of the visible spectrum.
