Abstract: A display assembly for an automotive interior comprises a dynamically bendable cover panel having first and second panel portions a flexible panel portion connecting the first and second panel portions, a display positioned adjacent the first and second panel portions, and a frame that supports the cover panel and comprises a first frame portion for supporting the first panel portion, a second frame portion for supporting the second panel portion, and a hinge portion coupling the first frame portion and the second frame portion, the hinge portion configured to induce a curvature having smoothly connected arc segments in the flexible panel portion between the first panel portion and the second panel portion when the second frame portion is articulated relative to the first frame portion from a straight position to a deployed position.

Abstract: A vehicle interior system having a first frame having a first end and a second end and a second frame having a third end and a fourth end. The third end of the second frame is arranged proximal to the second end of the first frame, and the first frame and the second frame define a bending axis between the second end and the third end. A continuous cover material is bonded to the first and second frame and across the bending axis. The vehicle interior system also includes a first display device positioned in a first aperture of the first frame. The system has a first configuration in which the first frame is planar with the second frame and a second configuration in which the first frame is not planar with the second frame. The system is configured to reversibly transition between the first and second configurations.

Abstract: A fixture apparatus for positioning an optical component has a transparent base. An adjustment plate that is formed from a transparent material is kinematically coupled to the base. Support posts extend from the adjustment plate for seating the optical component. A number of alignment elements extend from the transparent base for aligning one or more edges of the optical component seated on the support posts.
