An automated headlight system for vehicles replaces the high and low beam with a continuum of beam patterns, with further variable spatial distribution of intensities and color spectrum. The digital-headlight is comprised of a controller, sensors and multiple, individually-controllable light-sources modified by optical-control elements to form narrow-beams which are then combined to create the overall headlamp beam. Utilizing real-time sensor data regarding beings, objects and vehicles in the way-ahead, as well as optional information on the driver, vehicle and environment, the logical controller dynamically adapts the headlight system's illumination so as to provide vehicle operators with optimal visibility while preventing discomfort-glare from reaching the eyes oncoming traffic or pedestrians.

A lamp for a vehicle includes an array module comprising a plurality of micro Light Emitting Diode (LED) chips that are arranged in one or more patterns and that are configured to generate light, where the array module has a shape that is concave in a first direction.

In a vehicle lamp, an optical axis adjustment screw for pivoting an optical member around a pivotal axis extending in a vehicle width direction is supported by a lamp body in a state of extending in a vertical direction on the rear side of the vehicle lamp with respect to pivotal axis. A protruding piece extending toward the rear of the vehicle lamp is formed in the optical member, and a groove portion to be screwed with a threaded portion of the optical axis adjustment screw is formed in the rear end surface of the protruding piece. The groove portion of the protruding piece and the threaded portion of the optical axis adjustment screw can be maintained in the screwed state.

The invention relates to a vehicle's luminous module that includes a light source, a pixelated digital imaging system and an optical input device inserted (along the path of the light rays coming from the source) between the light source and the pixelated digital imaging system in order to transmit some light rays coming from the light source towards the pixelated digital imaging system; the invention also includes a prism comprising first, second and third faces that are configured to: transmit rays of the transmitted portion towards an impact surface between the first and third faces; form reflected rays by reflecting rays returned by the impact surface, by total internal reflection on the first face; and return reflected rays via the second face.

Problem: To integrate portions of lamps and sensors with a bumper fascia, reduce the number of components and the number of man-hours for assembly, and easily assemble a vehicle exterior assembly to an outer surface of a vehicle body.

Solution: In an exterior assembly 11 for being installed on a front surface of a vehicle body, head lamps 13 and fog lamps 14 that provide illumination in front of a vehicle and sensors 15 that collect information from in front of the vehicle are arranged in vertical rows on a bumper fascia 12. Lens portions 18 and 21 of the lamps 13 and 14 and antenna portions 24 of the sensors 15 are integrally formed with both right and left ends of the bumper fascia 12. Body portions 19 and 22 of the lamps 13 and 14 and case portions 25 of the sensors 15 are integrally formed in a separate molding step from that for the bumper fascia 12 and assembled to a back surface of the bumper fascia 12 as single components.

A substrate supports a light source and a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to be able to control lighting and lights-out of the light source. The substrate is supported to a conductive housing. The housing is configured to couple with a transparent cover through which light emitted from the light source is to pass. The housing has a through-hole. A connector unit has a connection part and a terminal holding part. The connection part is arranged outside the housing. At least a part of the insulating terminal holding part is arranged in the through hole. The terminal holding part holds a conductive terminal. The conductive terminal is coupled to the substrate and electrically connected to the control circuit.

A light-emitting module for a motor vehicle. The light-emitting module includes a substrate including a curved main section, light-emitting elements arranged on a face of the substrate and configured to generate light rays, a curved screen arranged facing the face of the substrate and away from the face, an area of the screen being suitable for being illuminated by the light rays emitted by the light-emitting elements, the screen having scattering properties with respect to the light emitted by the light-emitting elements, each light-emitting element being arranged on the substrate in a given zone, each light-emitting element furthermore being arranged to emit the corresponding light rays in a main emission direction that is angularly offset from a local direction that is normal to the substrate in the given zone.

The invention proposes a light device casing formed by a wall made of an electrically insulating material, such as a polymer. The casing includes an inner surface forming a housing receiving a light module with a light-emitting diode and a light guide. The inner surface includes a zone reflecting light from the light module out of the casing, and a fixing zone for a control module of the light module. The light device includes a reflecting and electrically conductive coating, which covers both the reflecting zone and the fixing zone. The aluminum coating is cost-effective since it is applied in one step, and it ensures two functions, namely a reflection and a protection against the electromagnetic field.

The present invention is directed to a fog lamp apparatus comprising a substantially cylindrical housing that comprises at least one bracket, ridges and grooves, at least one inset, at least one pair of sockets on the housing's inside wall, and at least one access hole. The fog lamp apparatus further comprises an outer lens, and at least one slanted mask that comprises at least one clip and one hook. The outer lens is attached to the mask by the clip, and the hook deposits in the inset of the housing. The fog lamp further comprises at least one inner lens that comprises at least one hollow cylindrical leg and at least one hook, and the hollow cylindrical leg is threaded to receive a crew. The fog lamp further comprises at least one LED board that comprises a light source; at least one heat sink that comprises a pair of symmetrical cylindrical arms, and ridges and grooves that are counterparts of the ridges and grooves of the housing. The heat sink further comprises a socket on its outer back wall. The LED board and inner lens are attached to the heat sink. The cylindrical arms deposit in the pair of sockets of the housing. The screw of the inner lens fastens the inner lens to the heat sink. The fog lamp further comprises at least one PCB, at least one adjuster bolt assembly that comprises an adjuster bolt, an O-ring gasket, and a nut.
