Abstract
Techniques for providing a display inside a vehicle are presented. The techniques can include: providing an electrophoretic surface integrated into an internal component of the vehicle, where the electrophoretic surface is flame resistant, and where the electrophoretic surface is configured to display an image within the vehicle; and controlling the electrophoretic surface using an electronic controller communicatively coupled to the electrophoretic surface.
Claims20
A system for providing a display inside a vehicle, comprising:
- an electrophoretic surface integrated into an internal component of a vehicle, the electrophoretic surface comprising:
- a first surface;
- a second surface that is parallel to the first surface in at least a portion of electrophoretic surface;
- a first fluid media filling a space between the first surface and the second surface;
- and
- a first electrophoretic material suspended in the first fluid media;
- wherein the first electrophoretic material has an aspect ratio of from about 10:1 to about 100:1;
- and
- an electronic controller communicatively coupled to the electrophoretic surface.

A method of providing a display inside a vehicle, the method comprising:
- providing an electrophoretic surface integrated into an internal component of the vehicle the electrophoretic surface comprising a first surface, a second surface that is parallel to the first surface in at least a portion of electrophoretic surface, a first fluid media filling a space between the first surface and the second surface, and an first electrophoretic material suspended in the first fluid media;
- providing an electronic controller communicatively coupled to the electrophoretic surface;
- and
- inducing a voltage in the fluid media using the electronic controller;
- and rotating the electrophoretic material within the fluid media within the vehicle.
