A light-emitting apparatus includes; a light-emitting device including a photoluminescent layer that receives excitation light and emits light including first light having a wavelength λ.sub.a in air, and a light-transmissive layer located on or near the photoluminescent layer; and an optical fiber that receives the light from the photoluminescent layer at one end of the optical fiber and emits the received light from the other end thereof. A surface structure is defined on at least one of the photoluminescent layer and the light-transmissive layer, and the surface structure has projections or recesses or both and limits a directional angle of the first light having the wavelength λ.sub.a in air.

A vehicle lamp includes: a first light guide including a first light guiding portion having a first light emitting surface and a first light incident surface; a second light guide including a second light guiding portion having a second light emitting surface and a second light incident surface; and a first reflector configured to reflect a part of light emitted from the first light emitting surface. The first light guiding portion and the second light guiding portion are disposed on opposite sides across the first reflector, the first light guiding portion is positioned on a light emitting direction side of the second light guiding portion, and a part of the second light guiding portion is positioned outside the first light guiding portion in the light guide direction.

The present invention relates to a portable indication system, including an indication device and a control device. The indication device has a cover, a printed circuit board, and an indicator. The control device has an operation interface, a wireless transmission module, and a micro-processor. The indicator has a light transmissive member detachable with the cover and a light emitting member that is assembled inside the light transmissive member. A length of the light emitting member penetrates into the interior of the cover to form a connection portion electrically connected with the printed circuit board, and the rest of length of the light emitting member is located outside the cover to form a projection portion coved by the light transmissive member. This invention is designed with a fast-detached mechanism facilitating users to replace the destructed light emitting member or modify the light emitting member by themselves according to their need.

The present disclosure relates an integrated module including a camera and a lamp, and may include a camera that acquires an image of a periphery of a vehicle and provide the image, at least one first lamp and at least one second lamp disposed at at least one location of an upper side and a lower side of the camera in a direction of a transverse axis of the camera, and a lamp controller that provides electrical energy for the first lamp to the first lamp and provides electrical energy for the second lamp to the second lamp according to daytime/nighttime determination information based on the image.

A functional vehicle component and related methods include a transmitter coil and a molded part. The molded part includes a first thermoformed film, a molded polymeric structural layer arranged under the film, a printed electronic circuit arranged under the film and adjacent the structural layer, an optional second thermoformed film, and graphics on the first film. The electronic circuit includes a receiver coil, conductive traces, and electronic elements. The first film is arranged to cover the polymeric structural layer and the electronic circuit to thereby define an exposed surface of the molded part. The first film and/or the graphics camouflages the circuit. The transmitter coil is connected to an external power source, and is arranged on the molded part such that the receiver coil is inductively coupled to the transmitter coil so as to wirelessly power the electronic elements of the circuit.

An expanded solar alarm lamp includes a solar cell component, a solar battery, a main controller, a xenon tube lamp, a circuit board, and a PC housing. The solar battery is connected to the solar cell component for receiving solar energy from the solar cell component and storing the solar energy to a battery that supplies electric power to the alarm lamp. The main controller and xenon tube lamp are installed on the circuit board; the PC housing is used for wrapping the circuit board and installed at the top of a car body; the xenon tube lamp is for generating a warning light; and the main controller is for determining whether the electric power supply is provided by the solar battery which is the xenon tube lamp based on the current stored electricity of the solar battery. The invention improves the performance and function of the solar alarm lamp.

A vehicular apparatus includes: a housing that is configured to be attached to a vehicle; and a first light source and a second light source that are provided in the housing to emit light having main wavelengths in mutually different wavelength ranges. The first light source emits light having a main wavelength in 490 nm-498 nm while the vehicle is being automatically driven.

A hybrid vehicle lamp includes a functional surface and a functional marking integrated within the functional surface. A housing has a plurality of mounting locations configured to respectively align a plurality of light sources configured to illuminate the functional marking or the functional surface, or both, in a lit mode. A controller is configured to individually control each of the plurality of light sources for providing different illumination patterns of the functional marking and the functional surface such that such that automotive functional lighting and non-automotive functional lighting is provided.

A lighting device for a motor vehicle, having at least one light source, a planar light guide with an input surface and at least one output surface. The input surface is formed in particular as a front surface of the light guide.
