An embodiment of the present invention relates to a lighting device comprising: a light source unit comprising a plurality of light emitting elements; a conversion unit for converting light emitted from the light source unit; a reflection unit for reflecting light which has passed through the conversion unit; and a half mirror member, which is disposed on the top of the reflection unit, for transmitting a portion of incident light and reflecting a portion of the incident light. The conversion unit includes an optical pattern for selectively transmitting light emitted from the light source unit, the light source unit is disposed on a periphery portion of the reflection unit, and the height of the center portion of the reflection unit is greater than the height of the periphery portion thereof.

A driving support apparatus includes an other vehicle detector, an other vehicle information acquisition unit, a proximity detector, a proximity controller and a setting unit. The other vehicle detector detects an other vehicle travelling on the second lane. The other vehicle information acquisition unit acquires information containing the size of the other vehicle. The proximity detector outputs a proximity signal when it is detected that the other vehicle is located in the detection range of set on the second lane at a predetermined detection distance from the own vehicle. The proximity controller activates a proximity control unit when detecting that a turn signal lever is operated while the proximity signal is being output. The setting unit increases the detection distance according to the size of the other vehicle.

A lighting system of an aircraft cabin includes a plurality of light units disposed at a plurality of locations within the aircraft cabin, wherein each of the plurality of light units includes at least one infrared light source, with an emission of infrared light across the aircraft cabin resulting from an operation of the at least one infrared light source of the plurality of light units.

Lighting may be provided using light sources such as lighting systems with arrays of light-emitting diodes. A lighting system may be integrated into a seat, a door panel, a dashboard, or other interior portions of a system such as a vehicle. The interior portions of the vehicle may be illuminated using lighting systems to provide ambient light, to provide custom surface textures and other decorative patterns, to provide icons, text, and other information, and to provide custom gauges and other illuminated regions. Illuminated regions may overlap sensors such as capacitive touch sensors, force sensors, and other sensors. The light-emitting diodes in a lighting system may supply light that passes through openings in a cover layer. The layer may be formed from fabric, leather, or other materials. Lens structures may guide light through the openings.

A vehicle is provided that includes a transparency that includes a substantially transparent exterior substrate, a substantially transparent interior substrate, an interlayer positioned between the exterior and interior substrates, a first plurality of perovskites positioned between the interior substrate and the interlayer, and a second plurality of perovskites positioned between the interior substrate and the interlayer. A first series of light sources is positioned to emit a first light on the first and second pluralities of perovskites. The first plurality of perovskites are configured to emit light having a wavelength of from about 620 nm to about 750 nm in response to the first light.

A lighting module for a vehicular bumper includes at least one light source and a transparent polymeric portion configured to be coupled to a vehicular bumper so as to form at least part of the vehicular bumper. The transparent polymeric portion has a chromium-based reflective coating coated on an outer surface thereof configured to be at least partially permeable to light emitted by the at least one light source. At least one etching in the chromium-based reflective coating is devoid of the chromium-based reflective coating. With the at least one light source electrically-connected to a vehicle, light emitted by the at least one light source is reflected and distributed by at least one light reflector, substantially within at least one light chamber and towards the transparent polymeric portion, so as to simultaneously pass through the chromium-based reflective coating and the at least one etching in the chromium-based reflective coating.

A vehicle lighting system includes a plurality of lights. A controller is in communication with a sensing system for detecting the presence of an electronic device carried by a vehicle occupant. The controller is configured to assign a seating area to the electronic device based on a detected cabin location of the device and operate the lights based on the assigned seating area and information indicative of an impending vehicle departure of the vehicle occupant.

Systems and methods for providing active ceiling display on the ceiling of a vehicle that is manipulated by occupant gestures. A display provides an area of illumination that illuminates at least a portion of the interior of a vehicle. The occupant manipulates aspects of the area of illumination with gestures. The system causes an area of illumination to follow the movements of an occupant. The system changes aspects of illumination within the vehicle based on the activities of an occupant, mood of the occupants, and ambient lighting inside and outside the vehicle.
