Abstract
A dynamic and customizable vehicle display system may include a flexible and addressable display panel that is conformable and attachable to a non-planar vehicle surface. A display module may receive data signals from a vehicle and send control signal to generate desired images on the addressable display. The display may operate in a plurality of modes and may switch modes upon the occurrence of a particular event. A user input device may be provided to customize the characteristics of the displayed images and the display module may be programmed to dynamically change image characteristics in response to the occurrence of particular events.
