A display unit for mounting in a vehicle may include an image generator, a display member, and a light source. The display member may be configured to move from a non-operational position to an operational position such that the display member is positioned to reflect light from the image generator in the operational position. The display member also includes an edge configured to refract light and/or otherwise be illuminated. The light source may be configured to emit light to illuminate at least a portion of the edge of the display member. In some implementations, the light source may move when the display member is moved from the non-operational position to the operational position. In other implementations, the light source may be stationary. The display unit may also include a light guide to guide the light emitted by the light source to illuminate the edge.

A vehicle interior assembly includes an interior trim component at least partially enclosing a storage volume and having a recessed compartment. The interior trim component is configured to transition between a first position, a second position, and a third position relative to a support structure. The vehicle interior assembly also includes a first light transmissive element coupled to the interior trim component and configured to illuminate an exterior surface of the interior trim component. In addition, the vehicle interior assembly includes a second light transmissive element coupled to the interior trim component and configured to illuminate a first interior of the recessed compartment. The vehicle interior assembly further includes a light source coupled to the support structure. The light source is positioned to optically communicate with the first light transmissive element while the interior trim component is located in the first position, to optically communicate with the second light transmissive element while the interior trim component is located in the second position, and to otherwise illuminate a second interior of the storage volume.
