An integral mounting bracket and auxiliary transmission mechanisms keep a vehicle running board stable and usable when the drive fails.
A light-blocking layer and embedded LEDs let vehicle door moldings illuminate selected regions for decorative, logo, and warning effects.
Soft, deformable light-guiding embossments create point-source door panel backlighting while reducing occupant injury risk on contact.
A protruding wrapped edge inserted into a mating component prevents upholstery wrinkles, crushing, and surface distortion during interior assembly.
A stowable support member built into the door frame gives stable roof access while avoiding door interference and vehicle damage.
Glass-based trim integrates a hidden-until-lit thin-film display, sensors, and ambient lighting to avoid bulky, heat-prone interior lighting parts.
Side-emitting LEDs embedded in clear polymer material create a uniform edge-lit effect, resolving hot spot issues while maintaining waterproof durability.
A removable protective cover shields vehicle control panels from water ingress while an illumination unit creates visible button outlines.
An optical grating embedded in a light transmissive layer directs collimated light to project virtual images, resolving distortion on curved vehicle surfaces.
A vehicle door sill display uses a transparent element and controller to orient images for occupants.
A photoluminescent side marker charges from ambient light to emit sustained illumination toward the vehicle exterior.
Hidden light sources emit toward optic end caps to resolve the contradiction between improved illumination intensity and deteriorated aesthetic appearance.
Side-edge illumination diffuses light across a planar panel, reducing thickness and eliminating mounting cutouts.
