A light-emitting assembly includes an outer lens. The outer lens has a lens exterior surface and a lens interior surface. The outer lens also defines a window between the lens exterior surface and the lens interior surface. The light-emitting assembly additionally includes a light element fixed to the outer lens in the window. The light element is exposed on the lens exterior surface, and configured to direct a beam of light away from the outer lens exterior surface. Such a light-emitting assembly may be specifically adapted for use on a motor vehicle.

A vehicle lighting assembly may include a housing including a lower part, the lower part defining an opening; and a lighting device arranged within the housing and configured to emit light through the opening, the lighting device including at least one circuit board and a lens arranged on the circuit board, the lighting device further including a single overmolded encapsulate configured to encase the circuit board and at least a portion of the lens.

The light device comprises an optical module (17), comprising a light source (5) and an associated optical body (8) of a transparent material to bind light rays (10) emitted by the source (5). The source (5) is a multidirectional light source configured to emit the primary light beam (6) of rays (10) towards the cover (1), and secondary beams (7) comprising rays (10) that are approximately transversal with respect to the rays (10) of the primary beam (6). The body (8) has a front surface (12) that forms a central front recess (18) in the body (8), a rear surface (14) that is opposite to the front surface (12) and is, in the direction from the optical axis (x) of the optical module (17), which passes through the source (5), inclined towards the cover (1), and a lateral surface (13) connecting the front surface (12) with the rear surface (14). The deepest point of the front recess (18) is situated approximately at the optical axis (x). The rear surface (14) and the lateral surface (13) are configured to prevent rays (10) from passing through these surfaces (14, 13).

A semiconductor device includes a first substrate, a semiconductor device includes a first substrate, a color filter layer over the first substrate in an effective pixel region, a second substrate over the color filter layer, a joint member joining the first and second substrates, and a pattern layer over the first substrate outside the effective pixel region. The color filter layer has a color filter material and the pattern layer has the color filter material. In a planar view with respect to a surface of the first substrate on which the joint member is disposed, the pattern layer is disposed between two portions of the joint member, the two portions being separate from and adjacent to each other. In the planar view, the joint member is not disposed between the pattern layer and an end of the first substrate closest to the pattern layer among ends of the first substrate.

A light source unit of a vehicle lighting system includes: a light source to emit excitation light; a light generating unit including a luminescent layer to emit generation light by being irradiated with the excitation light and a holding member holding the luminescent layer; and a lens member to output generation light from the luminescent layer toward the front, with the light source unit mounted on the vehicle.

A light guide has an elongated body that includes an entrance face at which light is admitted into the light guide and an exit face at which the light emanates from the light guide. The light guide has an inboard side wall and an outboard side wall extending between the entrance face and the exit face. The entrance face, the exit face, the inboard side wall and the outboard side wall enclose a medium containing a colorant by which the medium meets a color criterion while minimizing light absorption at a wavelength of the light.

A safety-related signalling device for a motor vehicle including a light guide, a first light source capable of emitting a light beam that illuminates a lateral face of the light guide to allow the light beam to propagate in the light guide, and a reflective screen having a front face located at a distance and across from a rear face of the light guide. The light guide is translucent and light-coloured, and the reflective screen promotes diffuse reflection of the light from the light guide so as to homogenize and intensify, on a front face, the light emitted by the light guide.

A light of a vehicle with a cover lens, the light having a light source for generating light, the light having a shifter for shifting the wavelength of at least a portion of the light generated by the light source in the visible, short-wave range into radiation in the long-wave range, the shifter being disposed in the light in such a way that the long-wave radiation generated by the shifter is directed towards the cover lens.

A light guide has an elongated body that includes an entrance face at which light is admitted into the light guide and an exit face at which the light emanates from the light guide. The light guide has an inboard side wall and an outboard side wall extending between the entrance face and the exit face. The entrance face, the exit face, the inboard side wall and the outboard side wall enclose a medium containing a colorant by which the medium meets a color criterion while minimizing light absorption at a wavelength of the light.

According to one embodiment, a color changing display includes a housing, a cover cooperatively coupled to the housing, a light panel, and a color display panel. The light panel and the color display panel are positioned between the housing and the cover. The light panel and the colored display panel are each selectively activated to operate in at least one of: a reflective mode, a transmissive mode, and a transflective mode.
