Abstract
The present invention pertains to automotive surface panel illumination with the objective of attaining the whitest diffusive appearance with maximized light intensity transmission features. An automotive luminous panel system includes a luminous unit arrangement as defined by an anti-mist diffusive coating applied to a light transmissive substrate with a corresponding masked cover lens patterned with bleed-gaps that are configured to convey incident light directly through the patterned optical arrangement and operate between the hidden until lit modes of the luminous unit.
