Hidden light device for vehicle
A hidden light device for a vehicle is configured to emit light from a grill of the vehicle, and when the light is not emitted, aesthetics of the grill may be maintained. The hidden light device includes: the grill having an outer surface forming a pattern composed of a plurality of grids; grid panels provided to some or all of the plurality of grids, respectively; an optical module provided inside each of the grid panels to allow the grid panels to form the pattern of the grill when turned off, and to emit light through the grid panel when turned on so as to make the grid panel serve as lighting of the vehicle; and a controller configured to control the optical modules to be turned on and off independently.

LIGHT MODULE FOR MOTOR VEHICLE HEADLAMP
A light module for a motor vehicle headlamp comprising at least one pixelated light source, a plurality of electroluminescent emitters distributed into a plurality of pixels and capable of emitting light rays, a projection optic arranged to directly image, toward the outside of the light module, a light beam formed by said light rays emitted by said at least one light source. The light module is characterized by a mask arranged between the at least one light source and the projection optic in order to completely or partially prevent light rays originating from the light source from being reflected by regions arranged outside the plurality of electroluminescent emitters of the light source.

DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING A POSITION OF A VEHICLE RELATIVE TO A CHARGING MODULE
A device for determining a position of a vehicle includes a camera system, a digital headlight system having a left digital headlight and a right digital headlight, and a data processing unit. The data processing unit is configured to assign a first detected reflected light beam by the camera system to the left digital headlight with a first angle, assign a second detected reflected light beam by the camera system to the right digital headlight with a second angle, and trigonometrically determine a distance of the vehicle from a charging module in a direction of a longitudinal axis of the vehicle and an offset in a transverse direction with respect to the longitudinal axis on a basis of the first and second angles and a distance between the left digital headlight and the right digital headlight.
Configurable luminaires and components
A steerable illumination fixture includes an emitting source and a refractive optical system that steers an emitted beam by relative translation of the emitting source against the optical system. The light emitting source may be placed along an optical axis of one or more lenses to produce an output beam along that axis, or translated in-plane (orthogonal to the optical axis) relative to the lenses to produce a steered beam. The optical system may include refractive lenses or mixing channels and/or one or more baffles with apertures. A round, uniform beam results that retains approximately the same power level and beam width as it is steered. A second lens having a diameter equal to or larger than a first lens may be provided and configured with an effective focal plane of the two lenses located approximately at the plane of the light emitting source.

LIGHTING MODULE FOR A VEHICLE HEADLAMP
A lighting module includes a first light source that generates a low beam with a bright/dark cut-off line and a second light source. First optics redirects a first part of light from the first light source to create a main part of the low beam substantially below the bright/dark cut-off line. Second optics is spaced apart from the first optics and redirects a second part of light from the first light source to create a zone III beam of the low beam substantially above the bright/dark cut-off line and redirects a fourth part of light from the second light source to create a concentrated beam of the high beam in front of the vehicle. Third optics redirects a third part of light from the second light source to create a main part of a high beam.
