The subject of the invention is a reflector device for a lighting module of a motor vehicle. The device includes a housing made of plastic, wherein the internal faces are metallized so as to reflect the light received. The housing on an external face of one of its walls has reception means able to house a support including at least one light source, the wall having an opening which leads toward the inside of the housing and which allows the light emitted by the light source or sources to propagate toward the inside of the housing. According to the provisions of the invention, the external face of the housing may be connected to ground potential so as to act as a shield against the electromagnetic waves emitted by various electronic components.

An illumination device (10) includes: laser light sources (20) having different radiant fluxes; and diffractive optical elements (40) provided correspondingly to the respective laser light sources. A planar dimension of the diffractive optical element, which corresponds to the laser light source that emits a laser light having a minimum radiant flux, is smaller than a planar dimension of the diffractive optical element, which corresponds to the laser light source that emits a laser light having a maximum radiant flux.

A lamp for an automobile and an automobile including the lamp. According to one aspect, the lamp is for an automobile and includes an anti-reflection coating layer attached to a portion of a surface of a lens.

The present invention enables further improvement of luminous efficiency of a semiconductor light-emitting element. In the present invention, a mounting member, a substrate, two semiconductor light-emitting elements, and three terminals are configured as a socket which is an integral structure, while a control circuit is configured separately from the socket. As a result, in the present invention, the control circuit is separated from the substrate of the socket, and therefore it becomes possible to further improve the luminous efficiency of the semiconductor light-emitting elements.

A front left lamp includes a housing, an outer cover covering an opening of the housing, and a millimeter-wave radar. The millimeter-wave radar includes an antenna unit and a communication circuit unit. The antenna unit includes a transmitting antenna and a receiving antenna. The communication circuit unit includes a transmission side RF circuit electrically connected to the transmitting antenna, a reception side RF circuit electrically connected to the receiving antenna, and a signal processing circuit configured to process a digital signal output from the reception side RF circuit. The antenna unit is provided inside the outer cover. The communication circuit unit is disposed in a space formed by the housing and the outer cover.

The method includes a first step of providing a housing with a hollow protrusion. A second step provides an auxiliary element in the hollow protrusion. A third step provides a connector receptacle in connection with the auxiliary element. A fourth step inserts a matching connector in the connector receptacle in a detachable way, the matching connector further including guiding means. A fifth step places a luminous module including a module connector, the module connector being helped by the guiding means to be connected to the matching connector, to achieve an electric connection between the module connector and the matching connector. A final step moves the connector receptacle so that the matching connector exits from the connector receptacle.

A configurable vehicle lighting module system includes a shared lens that provides a first light pattern for a first vehicle lighting function and a second light pattern for a second vehicle lighting function. The shared lens includes a mounting axis as a reference for mounting on a vehicle. First internal optics direct light toward the shared lens to provide the first light pattern; second internal optics direct light toward the shared lens to provide the second light pattern. A coupling system joins the shared lens with either the first internal optics to form a first module configuration for the first vehicle lighting function or with the second internal optics to form a second module configuration for the second vehicle lighting function. The shared lens conceals physical differences between internal optics configurations such that the first and second light module configurations appear the same when viewed along the shared lens.
