  • Vehicle lighting
    Patent number: 10451558
    Abstract: A vehicle lighting apparatus may include a backing panel. The vehicle lighting apparatus may include a light guide panel (LGP) layered over the backing panel, wherein the LGP includes a front surface, a rear surface opposite the front surface, and a plurality of side surfaces connecting the front surface with the rear surface. The vehicle lighting apparatus may include a light source positioned along a first side surface of the plurality of side surfaces of the LGP. The vehicle lighting apparatus may include a front film layered over the front surface of the LGP, wherein the LGP includes a plurality of refraction elements that refract light emitted from the light source through the front surface of the LGP and through the front film and wherein a distribution pattern of the refraction elements creates a corresponding pattern of differing light intensities visible through the front film when illuminated by the light source.
