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: Processes and devices by which a brittle material substrate may be edge formed and finished to simultaneously remove corresponding damage remaining on the edges in the areas formed by cutting and separation while imposing a desired edge profile and achieving a desired mechanical edge strength. Processes of the present disclosure may include a chemical and mechanical brush polishing process configured to shape and/or polish a surface of one or more thin substrates. A plurality of substrates may be arranged in a stacked configuration, and engineered interposer devices may be arranged between the stacked substrates. The interposers may provide space between the substrates and may direct filament placement during brushing so as to guide material removal on the substrate edges. Substrate edge profile shapes, including symmetric and asymmetric profiles, may be formed by strategic manipulation of interposer properties including dimensions, mechanical features, material properties, and positioning.

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.
