Multi-beam vehicle light
A vehicle light includes a lighting unit with multiple light-emitting elements (LEEs), one or more couplers, a light guide and an extractor. The lighting unit has a curved elongate extension. Each of the couplers has an input aperture coupled with one or more of the LEEs and an exit aperture coupled with a first edge of the light guide and is configured to couple light from the LEEs into the light guide. The light guide is configured to propagate light via total internal reflection to a second edge of the light guide. The extractor has an input aperture coupled with the second edge of the light guide and an exit aperture configured to emit light into an ambient environment.
Lighting device having individually illuminated light guides separated by opaque walls
A lighting device including at least two LED light sources configured for individual activation; at least two light guides arranged adjacent to one another, each including an edge surface facing a respective one of the LED light sources, a back surface extending from the edge surface provided with a plurality of diffuser extractor elements, and a front surface extending from the edge surface and opposite the back surface; and opaque barrier walls provided between the at least two light guides and extending from the rear wall to the front wall, to mechanically and optically separate the light guides. The light guides are configured to receive light from the LED light sources, with the diffuser extractor elements arranged shaped redirect received light traveling within the light guide to be projected through the front surface.
VEHICULAR LAMP
Three lamp units are supported on a bracket supported to be rotatable with respect to a lamp body. In the configuration of the respective lamp units, light source units are supported to be rotatable in an up and down direction with respect to the bracket, and projection lenses are fixedly supported on the bracket. Accordingly, it is possible to correct a misalignment of optical axes among the lamp units by preventing the occurrence of the positional misalignment of the projection lenses among the lamp units and then rotating the respective light source units with respect to the bracket.
Radome for vehicles
The radome for vehicles comprises a radio transmissive transparent layer (9) and a decorative element (6), wherein the decorative element (6) comprises a brightness and tone element (62) comprising a metal layer (621) and one or more metalloid layers (622). The brightness and tone element (62) preferably comprises two metalloid layers (622, 623), each metalloid layer being made from a different metalloid.
It permits to provide a radome for vehicles that allows to match a wider range of appearance specifications (brightness and color tone) defined by the car manufacturers.
LIGHT ASSEMBLY FOR THE LIGHTING AND/OR THE SIGNALING OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
The subject matter of the invention is a light assembly which comprises means for emitting and means for focusing one or more light beams for the lighting or the signaling of a vehicle. It also comprises a mask which extends below the focusing means. This mask has at least a first surface that can be seen by any person passing close to the vehicle and at least a second surface opposite the first surface.
The mask is made from a dark diffusing material and a reflective material coating is deposited on part of the second surface while leaving a portion of this second surface free of reflective coating. Additional light-emitting means are placed opposite the second surface, such that the light rays emitted by the additional light-emitting means can pass through the mask via the portion free of reflective coating.
LIGHTING ASSEMBLY FOR LIGHTING AND/OR SIGNALING IN A MOTOR VEHICLE
A lighting assembly for lighting and/or signaling in a mootor vehicle that palliates the disadvantages resulting from the reflection and focusing of solar rays by focusing means of a lighting module for lighting and/or signaling in a motor vehicle onto a mask disposed under a lighting module. The lighting assembly comprises means for emitting and means for focusing one or more light beams, together with a mask, a part of which extends under the focusing means. A part the mask is transparent to light, so that solar rays reflected and focused by the focusing means onto the mask pass through the transparent part.
MULTI-BEAM VEHICLE LIGHT

HEAD LAMP FOR VEHICLE
A head lamp for a vehicle includes: a lamp housing; a light source disposed in the lamp housing and configured to emit light to a forward area of a vehicle; a bezel disposed on the lamp housing, spaced apart from the light source, and shaped to cover the light source; and a plurality of flip-dot units disposed in the bezel. Each flip-dot unit among the plurality of flip-dot units includes: a housing having an opening formed on one side the housing, and a space formed in the housing; and a flip disk rotatably installed in the housing and configured to selectively open and close the opening.
Vehicle light assembly including a movable light signature member
A vehicle light assembly including one or more movable light signature members that are selectively translated from a first position partially or wholly in front of conventional light units (low beams, high beams, taillights, etc.) to a second position away from the light units when the light units are in use. Thus, for example, the movable light signature member(s) can include one or more LEDs or the like that are illuminated to act as daytime running lights, turn signal indicators, accessory lights, etc. when they are disposed in front of the light units and when the low beams, high beams, or taillights are not in use. This provides the desired light signature. When the low beams, high beams, or taillights are in use, the movable light signature member(s) are translated out of the way, such that the light units are visible adjacent to and/or between the movable light signature member(s).
