Abstract
An autonomous vehicle includes a window having first and second layers of polymer material between inner and outer layers of glass. The first layer of polymer material includes perovskite crystals that are activated by UV light and emit visible light. The second layer of polymer material is disposed between the outer layer of glass and the first layer of polymer material. The second layer of polymer material blocks UV sunlight to prevent activation of the perovskite crystals. The vehicle further includes a projector that is configured to project UV light onto the inside of the window to form illuminated images on the window.
