Accent Lighting Systems for Cupholders in Vehicles

An accent lighting system for a vehicle that includes a light module, which may be flexible or rigid in construction, and a transmitter. The light module includes a first inductive member, and the transmitter includes a second inductive member that is configured for electromagnetic communication with the first inductive member so as to create current in the first inductive member and thereby power the light module. The light module may be reconfigurable between unfolded and folded configurations and may emit light via a light-permeable diffuser that extends along an outer perimeter of the housing or via a display panel (e.g., an OLED screen).
