Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Color applications for aerodynamic microstructures are disclosed herein. One disclosed example apparatus includes an aerodynamic microstructure of a vehicle, sub-microstructures superimposed on the aerodynamic microstructure, and a color application defined on or within the microstructure.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus comprising: an at least partially transparent aerodynamic microstructure of a vehicle; sub-microstructures superimposed on the aerodynamic microstructure; and a color application including a color sub-layer disposed below the aerodynamic microstructure, wherein the color sub-layer is textured at an interface between the color sub-layer and an adjacent surface of the aerodynamic microstructure. 2. The apparatus as define…
