Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present application relates to a vehicle, more specifically the present application is related to at least one electronic license plate of a vehicle.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Generally, upon registering a vehicle, the owner of a vehicle is typically issued a license plate by a transport department of government. The license plate is configured to display the identification and registration information pertaining to the vehicle. Further, if required, the owner of the vehicle, government body, or any other suitable party may use the displayed vehicle information to identify the information pertaining to the vehicle.

[0003] Since the license plates available in the art are typically made up of metal sheets with the desired identification and registration information formed into the sheet. For updating the displayed information, a new license plate will be issued from the transport department of government, for that the owner of the vehicle is required to visit the government office. Further, because of the environmental conditions, the metal sheets license plates are prone to corrosion.
