A vehicle applique is provided that includes a decorative layer and an over-mold positioned over the decorative layer. The over-mold is substantially transparent. A light conversion layer is positioned on an opposite side of the decorative layer from the over-mold and configured to convert ambient illumination. A reflective layer is configured to convert ambient illumination. A reflective layer is configured to reflect light into the light conversion layer.

Lit image projection lamp and method. In an exemplary embodiment of a projection device of the present disclosure, the projection device comprises a light source; a first lens positioned at a first distance from the light source; and a second lens at a second distance from the first lens; wherein the first lens and the second lens are lenticular lenses, each having an optical axis; and wherein the projection device is configured to generate a three-dimensional image from light emitted from the light source that passes through the first lens and the second lens.

A light emitting emblem includes: a light emitting element as a light source; a housing configured to house the light emitting element; and a cover including an emblem on a surface thereof, including a light transmitting portion as defined herein, and attached to the housing to cover the light emitting element, at least a part of an outer surface of the light transmitting portion is exposed to an outside as a light emitting region of the cover, an inner surface of the light transmitting portion includes a bent portion being a boundary line between a plane and a plane different in orientation, and all low-lightness lines, which are linear low-brightness regions appearing on a surface other than the inner surface of the light transmitting portion due to a factor including refraction of light incident on the bent portion, appear in a region other than the light emitting region.

An illumination device (1) for a vehicle, wherein the illumination device (1) is configured to create an illuminated, in particular 3-dimensional, shape. The illumination device includes an optical element (2), a first bezel element (3), a second bezel element (4), a light source (5) and a diffuser device (6), wherein the optical element, the first bezel element, and the second bezel element are arranged downstream of the diffuser device. The illuminated shape created with the illumination device is composed of an illuminated and a dark area, wherein the illuminated area is created by the light emitting surface of the illuminated optical element and the dark area is created by the first bezel element and the second bezel element blocking/absorbing light, wherein the first bezel element comprises an aperture, wherein the optical element and the second bezel element permeate the aperture.

A vehicle lamp suppressing design deterioration due to moire is provided. The vehicle lamp includes: a first plate material including a plurality of first light transmissive areas transmitting light therethrough and a first light non-transmissive area positioned between the plurality of first light transmissive areas and not transmitting light therethrough; a second plate material including a plurality of second light transmissive areas transmitting light therethrough and a second light non-transmissive area positioned between the plurality of second light transmissive areas and not transmitting light therethrough, the second plate material being layered on the first plate material; and a light source that emits light via the plurality of first light transmissive areas of the first plate material and the plurality of second light transmissive areas of the second plate material, where the plurality of second light transmissive areas are larger, in acreage, than the plurality of first light transmissive areas.

An illumination device for a motor vehicle having a printed circuit board with a plurality of light emitting diodes disposed thereon. An optical pane and a reflector element are provided, whereby the reflector element is disposed between the printed circuit board and the optical pane. The reflector element has a plurality of segments into which the reflector element is divided. Each light emitting diode is assigned a segment so that light emitted from the light emitting diodes is reflected by the segments of the reflector element and passes through the optical pane.

A lighting apparatus for vehicles which may provide a unique and beautiful image of an electrified vehicle and aesthetic sensibility, and a method of manufacturing the same, include a light source configured to emit light, a light guide plate configured to diffuse the light emitted by the light source, and a lens cover configured to transmit the light diffused by the light guide plate and to emit the light forwards of the light cover, and irregularities configured to form thickness differences of the lens cover depending on a position on the lens cover or a portion of the lens cover are formed on an internal surface of the lens cover configured so that light having passed through the light guide plate is incident thereupon.

A badge is provided herein. The badge includes a housing having an integrally formed first layer and second layer. A light source is disposed within the badge. A first photoluminescent structure is disposed between the light source and housing. The first photoluminescent structure is configured to emit outputted light in response to inputted light emitted from the light source. The outputted light exits the housing through a light transmissive portion. A substrate is attached to the housing.

A lighting device for a motor vehicle, the lighting device being designed to emit at least one light beam, at least one characteristic of which relates to the type of propulsion of the motor vehicle, the device being arranged to emit the light beam at least when the motor vehicle is moving.

A light arrangement includes two vehicle rear lamps and an illuminated decorative strip, which are aligned to each other both functionally and creatively. The decorative strip has a light outlet provided with a covering glass, under which an is optical fiber. The covering glass is provided on the outside with a translucent chromium foil and the base body of the decorative strip is chromium-plated on its surface. The optical fiber, the lighting source, the controller of the lighting light source, and the connections for the power supply are integrated into the base body of the decorative strip. Color selection can be adjusted by the controller of the lighting source so that the light and intensity of the color selection supplied to the optical fiber can be aligned with that of the rear lamps.
