A light distribution of light from a light-emitting device (10) has a higher luminous intensity in a first direction (D1) compared to a reference direction (R), the first direction (D1) being different from the reference direction (R). The reference direction (R) is a center direction of the light distribution, for example, a direction along the thickness direction of a substrate (100), a direction along the width direction of each layer (for example, an EML (126)) of a resonator (150), or a normal direction of a second surface (104) of the substrate (100). In addition, the light distribution has a higher luminous intensity in a second direction (D2) compared to the reference direction (R), the second direction (D2) being on an opposite side of the first direction (D1) with respect to the reference direction (R).

A lamp assembly for a motor vehicle comprises a light source and a light guide, which includes a diffuser body having a diffuser inlet and a light emission portion. The diffuser body is configured to conduct light rays from the diffuser inlet to the light emission portion, so as to be visible to an observer. The light guide also includes an extension with a light collector configured to collect rays emitted by the light source, a coupling portion, and a guide body configured to conduct light rays between the light collector and the coupling portion. The coupling portion is optically coupled to the light inlet portion of the diffuser body for transmitting the light rays from the extension into the diffuser body. The diffuser body is made of a material with high light diffusion properties and the extension is made of material with relatively poor light diffusion properties.

A light-emitting assembly configured to generate varied color light includes an assembly housing. The light-emitting assembly also includes a light filter element fixed relative to the assembly housing. The light filter element includes a plurality of transparent nanostructured ElectroChromic (TNEC) layers. When at least one of the plurality of TNEC layers is subjected to voltage, the subject TNEC layer(s) imparts a distinct reflective color to ambient light entering the light-emitting assembly. Such a light-emitting assembly may be specifically adapted for use on a motor vehicle.

A modular tailgate light for a vehicle having an auxiliary lighting plug, the modular tailgate light broadly including a left section, a right section, a middle section, and a power connector. The left section, the right section, and the middle section each include a set of red lights and a set of white lights. The red lights of the middle section include left red lights and right red lights. The modular tailgate light can be used in a small vehicle configuration in which the left and right sections are connected together with the middle section omitted and a large vehicle configuration in which the middle section is connected between the left and right sections. In the large vehicle configuration, the left red lights activate identically to the red lights of the left section and the right red lights activate identically to the red lights of the right section.

A partition member (20) partitions a space occupied by a person from the outside. The space is, for example, an interior of a mobile object (30) such as a vehicle. A substrate (100) is disposed on a surface of the partition member (20) on the space side and has optical transparency. On a surface (a second surface (110b)) of the substrate (100) on the space side, a plurality of light-emitting units and an insulating layer (150) are disposed. Each light-emitting unit (140) includes a light-transmitting first electrode (110), an organic layer (120), and a second electrode (130) in this order from the external side. The insulating layer (150) defines the plurality of light-emitting units (140). A third region (106: a light-transmitting region) in the substrate (100) in which the second electrode (130) and the insulating layer (150) are not formed is provided between light-emitting units (140) next to each other.

A vehicular rear window assembly includes a window panel having an inner glass panel and an outer glass panel laminated together. A lighting device includes a plurality of light sources arranged on a circuit element. The vehicular rear window assembly is configured to be disposed at a rear portion of a cabin of a vehicle. The lighting device is disposed between the inner glass panel and the outer glass panel. The light sources, when electrically powered, emit light that is visible through the outer glass panel of the window panel so as to be viewable by a person viewing the vehicular rear window assembly from exterior and rearward of the vehicle. At least some of the light sources of the lighting device are electrically powered responsive to actuation of a brake of the vehicle to provide a center high mounting stop lamp feature that is integrated within the window panel.

There are disclosed video systems and methods that use a camera in a lamp housing for a tractor-trailer. Within the housing is an electrical subsystem with a PLC interface and an electrical connector disposed outside the housing and adapted to connect to the trailer and draw power therefrom. A lamp mounted in the housing is connected and adapted to draw power through the electrical subsystem and emit light through a cover of the housing. The camera mounted in the housing has a field of view through the cover. The camera is connected and adapted to draw power through the electrical subsystem and to capture images through the cover and is further connected to the PLC interface. The PLC interface converts data from the camera and transmits the converted data through the electrical connector to the trailer.

A lighting apparatus includes light emitting elements having an emission peak wavelength of 400 to 510 nm, a first phosphor having an emission peak wavelength of 485 to 700 nm, a second phosphor having an emission peak wavelength of 510 to 590 nm, a third phosphor having an emission peak wavelength of 600 to 700 nm, and a color filter having transmittance for light with a wavelength of 600 to 730 nm that is 80% or more and transmittance for light with a wavelength of 410 to 480 nm that is 3% or more and 50% or less. The color filter transmits a part of light emitted from the first phosphor, at least a part of light emitted from the second phosphor, and at least a part of light emitted from the third phosphor. Light transmitted through the color filter is emitted to the outside.
