A dual-viewing mode motor vehicle display system (100 fig 1) comprises at least one displaying portion (102 fig 1) and a processor having a memory with stored instructions. The displaying portion (102) or portions comprise an illumination unit 112 or units comprising a light source 106 and plural micro fin structures 110 configurable for a wide and a narrow viewing mode. The unit 112 illuminates a display layer (114 fig 3). The processor may kinematically change a displaying portion position about a rotation axis. In response to the changed position, the displaying portion may switch between public and private mode positions to display public or private mode contents respectively. Typically, narrow viewing entails a 10 to 49 degree fin angle and wide viewing corresponds to a 50 to 70 degree angle of fin tilt. Additionally an edge lit backlight auxiliary light source (118 fig 3) may be provided. The vehicle occupant (206, 206’ fig 5a) may be a vehicle operator, co-vehicle operator or front passenger. The invention can address vehicle operator distraction.
