Abstract
Disclosed herein are structures and methods for assembling said structures to provide a glass-based and flush implementation of a display structure for a vehicle-based context. Employing the aspects disclosed herein, an implementer is provided a structure capable of passing head-impact tests, while prevent stray shard creation and providing an aesthetically superior design to convention implementation.
Claims12
A display structure for a vehicle, comprising:
- a glass substrate with a tapered edge;
- an in-molded plastic part, molded to conform around the tapered edge;
- a a laminated plastic film disposed to overlap the glass substrate and the in-molded plastic part,
- wherein the laminated plastic film is on a surface opposing a viewer of the display structure.
