The at least one second optical coupler is configured to receive the second collimated light beam and directs the second collimated light beam along a second optical axis towards a second region of the light exit face to perform a second photometric function.
ILLUMINATION APPARATUS FOR VEHICLES
A lighting device for vehicles with a plurality of light sources and with a plurality of light guide elements each assigned to each of the light sources, which are arranged in front of the light sources in the main emission direction, wherein the light guide elements are designed as micro light guide elements and that an optical separation is provided between neighboring micro light guide elements and/or in the main radiation direction behind the micro light guide elements so that a scattered light portion emitted by a first light source cannot be irradiated or emitted by a light guide element assigned to a second light source.
Light-emitting module for a motor vehicle
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.
Multifaceted discontinuous reflector
A vehicle anti-collision light is disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the vehicle anti-collision light includes one or more illumination sources disposed on a substrate, and a reflector assembly coupled to the substrate at a base. In embodiments, the reflector assembly includes a reflective element including one or more reflective surfaces configured to redirect a first portion of illumination, and one or more transmissive portions configured to transmit a second portion of illumination through the reflective element. In embodiments, the one or more transmissive portions are bounded within the one or more reflective surfaces of the reflective element such that the reflective element includes one or more reflective surfaces between the base and the one or more transmissive portions, and one or more reflective surfaces between the one or more transmissive portions and a distal edge of the reflective element.
Light-guiding optical system, especially for motor vehicles
The light-guiding optical system comprises at least one light source (2) and a light guide (1) for coupling and guiding light rays (10) emitted by a light source (2). Furthermore, the light guide (1) may comprise a decoupling surface (4) on its rear side (13) and an output surface (3) for the exit of light rays (10) decoupled by the decoupling surface (4) on an opposite front side (14). The decoupling surface (4) comprises: (i) first decoupling elements (5) configured to decouple light rays (10) falling onto the first decoupling elements (5) out of the light guide (1) approximately in a pre-determined first output direction (p) to fulfill a first light function, and (ii) a second decoupling element (6) configured to uncouple light rays (10) falling onto the second decoupling elements (6) out of the light guide (1) approximately in a pre-determined second output direction (d), which is deflected from the first output direction (p), to fulfill the second light function.
VEHICLE SIDE LIGHT
A vehicle side light that can decrease the number of components to reduce the cost, that does not produce a dark portion not easily visible, and that can more easily perform efficient light distribution control only in necessary directions with a simple configuration. In a vehicle side light (10) that is provided on a vehicle side surface, and that is constructed by supporting, in a light body (11), a light source (20) and a lens (30) for distributing light from the light source (20), the light source (20) is constructed by mounting a plurality of LEDs (22) on a surface of a single substrate (21), and the lens (30) is arranged in a front direction of the light source (20), and is capable of distributing light of any of the plurality of LEDs (22) to both sides of the vehicle side surface in addition to the front direction perpendicular to the vehicle side surface.
Tie-down bracket for motor vehicle
This disclosure relates to a tie-down bracket for a motor vehicle. The tie-down bracket includes at least one light. In this way, the tie-down bracket may function as one or more of a signature light, turn signal, cornering light, etc. A method is also disclosed.
Vehicle Side Light
A vehicle side light (VSL) that is secured to a side of a vehicle such as a car or truck to provide illumination to an area adjacent the side of the vehicle. The VSL has an attachment plate, a gasket, a heat sink, a power/light emitting diode (LED) board, a reflector, and a cover. At least one LED and preferably multiple LEDs, on the power/LED board provide the illumination. The reflectors has a metallic reflective front surface with outward extending members that create reflecting chambers. At the bottom of each chamber is an opening that allows a LED to illuminate outward to the chamber. The reflector's surface and reflecting chamber design the increase the LEDs illuminative strength. The cover is either a flat front surface with angled side sections, or a convex front surface. The VSL can also function as an auxiliary turn signal with red or yellow LEDs in the side sections. The USLVSL can also include a camera that interfaces with the vehicle's audio/navigation system. While the VSL can be used with may vehicles, the VSL is optimally designed to be secured to a four-door Jeep vehicle, onto a lower area of a B-pillar, between the Jeep's front and rear doors. To facilitate the securement, the attachment plate has right and left angled sections, with angles of 55 which allows optimal placement on the B-pillar.
Sidemarker light assembly and motor vehicle light assembly incorporating that sidemarker light assembly
A sidemarker light assembly includes a support bracket, a light blade carried on the support bracket and a light source in communication with the first end of the light blade. Light from that light source is then transmitted through the light blade and emitted from a second end of the light blade to provide a sidemarker indication. A motor vehicle light assembly incorporating the sidemarker light assembly is also disclosed.
