Windshield display and testing system

A display and testing system for a vehicle having a display surface, comprising:

• a light source configured to emit a light when activated;
• a first fiber-optic cable and a second fiber-optic cable each having a first fiber end and a second fiber end opposite the first fiber end, the first fiber-optic cable first fiber end receiving the light from the light source and directing the light from the light source to the first fiber-optic cable second fiber end, and the first fiber-optic cable second fiber end emitting the light to the display surface;
• a piezoelectric actuator coupled to the first fiber-optic cable adjacent the first fiber-optic cable second fiber end and to the second fiber-optic cable adjacent the second fiber-optic cable second fiber end, wherein the piezoelectric actuator is actuated to vibrate the first fiber-optic cable second fiber end to project an image on the display surface while the light source is activated and to vibrate the second fiber-optic cable second fiber end with the first fiber-optic cable second fiber end;
• and
• a photodetector configured to detect light, wherein the second fiber-optic cable second fiber end receives the image reflected from the display surface and directs the image to the second fiber-optic cable first fiber end, the second fiber-optic cable first fiber end emits and directs the image to the photodetector, and the photodetector detects functionality of the display surface based on the image while the light source is activated.

A display and testing system for a vehicle having a display surface, comprising:

• a first light source configured to emit a first light when activated into a first fiber-optic cable;
• a second light source configured to emit a second light when activated into a second fiber-optic cable, the second light being different than the first light;
• a third light source configured to emit a third light when activated into a third fiber-optic cable, the third light being different than the first light and the second light;
• a first photodetector configured to detect light received from a fourth fiber-optic cable;
• and
• a piezoelectric actuator,
• wherein when the first light source, the second light source, and the third light source are activated, the respective first light, second light, and third light are emitted to the display surface, the piezoelectric actuator vibrates to cause the first light, the second light, and the third light to project an image on the display surface, and the first photodetector receives the image reflected from the display surface via the fourth fiber-optic cable and detects functionality of the display surface based on the image while at least one of the light sources is activated.
