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.

Disclosed is a system for making a vehicle lamp have an overall solid occluded appearance when the lamp is inactive, and allowing for the passage and optional filtering of light when the lamp is on. A light modifier is created that has optical elements on an inside surface, and an opaque or translucent covering on an opposite side of the modifier. The optical elements and corresponding apertures are aligned with each other and diversely configured.

A lamp for the rear of a vehicle is disclosed with a light transmissive cover having a red first illuminated surface area and a clear second illuminated surface area. It has a first LED light emitter located directly beneath the red first area, a second LED light emitter located directly beneath the clear second area, and a third LED light emitter, also located directly beneath said clear second area. The third red LED light emitter is for emitting red light through the clear second area simultaneously with light transmitted through the red first area, whereby the first and second areas are adapted to collectively form a contiguous red illuminated surface area.

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 lighting device disclosed in an embodiment of the invention includes a plurality of light sources disposed on a substrate; a resin layer disposed on the substrate and the plurality of light sources; a phosphor layer disposed on the resin layer, and an ink layer disposed on the phosphor layer, wherein the ink layer has a first ink layer and a second ink layer having a height greater than that of the first ink layer with respect to the upper surfaces of the phosphor layer, and it possible to provide a three-dimensional image of the surface.

An illuminated-marking system for a lamp assembly includes one or more markings illuminated by an organic light emitting diode (OLED) panel. The markings may include an ink composition printed directly onto the OLED panel. A process for printing the ink composition includes printing one or more desired ink compositions onto the OLED panel.

The present invention relates to a lighting apparatus for a vehicle that includes a housing; a screen unit mounted in the housing; and a projection unit fixed to the housing and configured to radiate light toward the screen unit.

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.
