  • Method and system for object rippling in a display system including multiple displays
    Patent number: 11150486
    Abstract: An instrument panel may include a multi-layer display including a first display panel and second display panel arranged in a substantially parallel manner, a backlight configured to provide light to the first display panel and the second display panel of the multi-layer display system, and a processing system comprising at least one processor and memory. The processing system may be configured to: display content including an object on a first display panel; divide the object into a plurality of segments; assign to each divided segment a position in a time sequence; and responsive to instructions, display, on the second display panel, segments corresponding to the segments of the object displayed on the first display panel, wherein the segments displayed on the first and second display panel are animated by varying optical properties of each segment according to the positions assigned the segments in the time sequence.
