Patent number: 11665830Abstract: A method of producing a functional vehicle component includes fixing a leather sheet over a surface of a vehicle component, applying a flexible electronic circuit to an A-surface of the leather sheet, and arranging a pigmented coating over the circuit. The pigmented coating inhibits or prevents the circuit from being visible through the pigmented coating. The method may include attaching an electronic element, such as a light source, a sensor, a wireless transmitter, or a switch, to the circuit. When the circuit includes a light source, the pigmented coating inhibits or prevents the light source from being visible through the pigmented coating, but light emitted by the light source is visible through the pigmented coating.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2017Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Zainab I. Ali, Patricia A. Scott

Publication number: 20210114517Abstract: An electroluminescent light source included as a sheet-like structure as part of headliner in a vehicle. The electroluminescent light source is arranged under an outer layer of fabric, as well as under a layer of foam and a layer of nonwoven textile material. The electroluminescent light source lacks a dedicated housing for containing the electroluminescent light source, which allows for the headliner to maintain a flat and uniform surface that is undisturbed by the inclusion of the electroluminescent light source. When the electroluminescent light source is activated, the emitted light has sufficient brightness to shine through the various layers of the headliner to illuminate the interior of the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2019Publication date: April 22, 2021Inventors: Kathryn A. Richardson, Philip Z. Teano, Nichole A. Verwys, Zainab I. Ali, Patricia A. Scott
