  • Vehicle interior panel with shape-changing surface
    Patent number: 10795519
    Abstract: A vehicle interior panel includes a capacitive touch panel with a control surface that can assume different contours. The capacitive touch panel includes a conductive layer beneath the control surface that is sufficiently flexible to maintain electrical continuity when the touch panel changes shape. The conductive layer can be formed from carbon nanobuds or other fullerenes to enable such flexibility, while also providing optical transparency. Pushers situated behind the touch panel extend and retract to stretch the touch panel and allow it to morph from one shape to another.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 31, 2019
    Date of Patent: October 6, 2020
    Assignee: FAURECIA INTERIOR SYSTEMS, INC.
