Abstract
A system for displaying images on a surface of a vehicle may include a smart display sheet adhered to a component of the vehicle or integrally formed into a component of the vehicle such as an outer body panel or wheel of the vehicle. The smart display sheet is configured to display at least one image. The system may also include a display controller configured to output display instructions to the smart display sheet and at least one power source secured to the vehicle. The at least one power source is configured to provide power to the smart display sheet, and the at least one power source may be independent from a vehicle power source of the vehicle.
Claims19
A system for displaying images on a surface of a vehicle, comprising:
- a smart display sheet adhered to a component of the vehicle or integrally formed into a component of the vehicle, wherein the component is an outer body panel or wheel of the vehicle, and wherein the smart display sheet is configured to display at least one image;
- a display controller configured to output display instructions to the smart display sheet;
- and
- at least one power source secured to the vehicle, wherein the at least one power source is configured to provide power to the smart display sheet, and wherein the at least one power source is independent from a vehicle power source of the vehicle, wherein the at least one power source includes a turbine having a plurality of blades coupled to a rotatable shaft, wherein the turbine is configured to rotate in response to airflow passing through the plurality of blades.
