Abstract:
An automotive animated image projector comprises a light source emitting a light beam, a microelectromechanical system projector aligned to receive the light beam and project an animated image onto a target surface, a computer system programmed to control the light source and the microelectromechanical system with commands to produce the animated image, and a transmission link for sending the commands from the computer system to the light source and the microelectromechanical system projector. In some embodiments, the target surface is the ground next to a vehicle and the animated image illuminates the ground to assist entry into, and exit from, the vehicle. A method is also provided of projecting an animated image from an automotive animated image projector. The method comprises generating a light beam, directing the light beam onto a microelectromechanical system projector, manipulating the light beam by dynamically controlling the microelectromechanical system projector to generate animated images that are projected onto a target surface.

Claim (Index 1):
A lighting system comprising:\n a light source for integrating with an automotive vehicle and for emitting a light beam; a projector aligned to receive said light beam and project an animated image onto one or more pre-determined target surfaces; a processor programmed to control said light source and said projector to produce said animated image; and one or more transmission links for communicating at least one signal between said processor, said light source, and said projector, the at least one signal containing information for causing the animated image to be projected.
