Information related to a vehicle can be displayed by projecting an image based on the information on a road surface or the like. An image projection apparatus that projects an image includes: a sensor unit that acquires information related to a vehicle; and an image projection unit that projects the image based on the information acquired by the sensor unit.

A tailgate illumination system includes an illumination device having (i) a tailgate bracket configured for mounting at a tailgate of a vehicle and (ii) a pivot bracket pivotally mounted at the tailgate bracket. The pivot bracket supports a light source that, when powered, emits light. With the tailgate bracket mounted at the vehicle tailgate, the pivot bracket pivots relative to the tailgate bracket responsive to gravitational force acting on the pivot bracket as the tailgate moves from a closed position to an opened position. With the tailgate bracket mounted at the vehicle tailgate, and with the tailgate in the closed position, light emitted by the light source, when powered, illuminates a ground region rearward of the vehicle. With the tailgate bracket mounted at the vehicle tailgate, and when the tailgate is in the opened position, light emitted by the light source, when powered, illuminates the ground region rearward of the vehicle.

To provide a vehicular lamp capable of making a desired light distribution on a light shielding member while having a simple configuration. The vehicular lamp comprises a first and second light source each having a light emitting surface and being arranged in a predetermined parallel direction; a single condenser lens for condensing light emitted from the first and second light source; a light shielding member provided with an irradiation slit through which light condensed by the condenser lens is partially passed; and a projection lens for projecting light passed through the light shielding member to form an irradiation pattern. The first and second light source are arranged with an interval equal to or larger than dimensions in the parallel direction on the light emitting surfaces, the condenser lens makes a light distribution in which a high light quantity area with the highest light quantity is single in the parallel direction.

A forklift 1 as a cargo vehicle includes: a vehicle body 1A which an operator M gets on; and an image projection device 31, projecting an image related to vehicle information in a direction (left) in which the operator M alights to display the image on a road surface G. In addition, the forklift 1 further includes an alighting sensor that detects an alighting operation when the operator M alights. The image projection device 31 projects the image when the alighting sensor detects the alighting operation.

A projection headlight for a vehicle is provided comprising at least one light source, a projection lens, a condenser lens arranged between the at least one light source and the projection lens, and at least one printed graphic arranged between the condenser lens and the projection lens. The condenser lens has a flat side and a curved side. The at least one printed graphic is printed on the flat side of the condenser lens. Further, a vehicle is provided having at least one such projection headlight.

An illumination device for a motor vehicle includes at least one light source and an elongated waveguide which is delimited along the length thereof by a lateral surface. The waveguide is configured to guide light from the at least one light source along a light propagation direction in a totally reflective manner, the light propagation direction corresponding to the length of the waveguide. The light of the at least one light source can be coupled into the waveguide via a coupling surface at an end face of the waveguide, and a decoupling structure is provided in the lateral surface of the waveguide for decoupling light, which exits the waveguide via an exit region of the lateral surface along the light propagation direction, thereby overriding the total reflection condition.

The invention proposes a lighting device for a motor vehicle, including a first lighting module adapted to project a pixelized first beam with a first resolution and a second lighting module adapted to project a pixelized low beam type second beam with a second resolution lower than the first resolution, the first and second lighting modules being such that the first and second beams overlap vertically at least in part to form a global beam, the device including a control unit able to control selectively a plurality of pixels of the first and second beams so as to project a motif in the global beam.

A lamp for a vehicle includes a light source unit for generating a first light; a light adjustment unit for adjusting a first light concentration for the first light to generate a second light having a second light concentration from the first light concentration; and a movable mirror unit for reflecting the second light to form an image of a predetermined shape on a road surface. A position where the image is formed on the road surface is changed depending on a position of the movable mirror unit.

A vehicle light includes: a light source; a light condensing lens condensing a light emitted from the light source; and an irradiation pattern forming member having an irradiation slit for allowing the light to partially pass through, and that forms the passing light into an irradiation pattern. The irradiation slit has a farthest location that corresponds to a farthest portion projected at a farthest position in the irradiation pattern and a nearest location that corresponds to a nearest portion projected at a nearest position in the irradiation pattern. The light condensing lens, on the irradiation pattern forming member, makes the farthest location brightest and the nearest location darkest in an upper-lower direction, and diffuses the light emitted from the light source more in a width direction, which is orthogonal to an optical axis direction and to the upper-lower direction, than in the upper-lower direction.

A lamp apparatus for use in an external rear view assembly includes at least one aperture, the apparatus including a housing comprising a rear view face and a front face with the at least one aperture; a printed circuit board (PCB) mounted adjacent the rear face, the PCB further having a power connector; an electronic circuit; and at least one light source mounted in a location on the PCB; a transparent lens component comprising at least one lens portion; and an adjusting device for spatially adjusting the apparatus relative to a housing part of the rear view assembly, relative to at least one of a housing cap or a mirror foot cover.
