Abstract: A method, system, and devices for implementing a selectively lighted instrument cluster are disclosed herein. The aspects employ a light house layer (or collection of light house layers) using a combination of light and dark materials to provide individually lit indicia on a cover layer (i.e. applique layer) of an instrument cluster. The combination of light and dark layers selectively applied prevents light leakage into other non-intended portions on the viewable surface of the instrument cluster.

Abstract: An apparatus for mounting a free-standing display element is disclosed herein. The apparatus is u-shaped, and provides a joint that allows movement in a rotational manner to and from the viewer of the display. The mounting may occur in a motor vehicle. In response to force being applied to the display, the apparatus is configured to either maintain (or lock into a position), or allow movement along the rotational axis.
