Image projection lighting assembly
A lighting assembly is provided with a housing defining a cavity that is aligned along a longitudinal axis. A light source is supported by the housing and aligned with the longitudinal axis. A lens is supported by the housing to collimate light from the light source. An image plate with a plurality of apertures formed through passes a portion of the collimated light as light segments. An exit lens includes a first series of optics arranged on a first plane spaced apart from the image plate at a first focal distance to focus the light segments at a first distance from the housing, and a second series of optics arranged on a second plane spaced apart from the image plate at a second focal distance to focus the light segments at a second distance from the housing. The second focal distance is greater than the first focal distance.
HARDCOAT DIFFUSER FOR AUTOMOTIVE LIGHT ASSEMBLIES
A light assembly includes a light source and a lens. The lens includes a hardcoat surface that protects the lens. The light source is positioned close to the lens, and a microtexture is defined in the hardcoat material to increase diffusion of the light to overcome the limitations of the close spacing between the lens and the light source. The hardcoat material and microtexture may be applied to both sides of the lens or one side of the lens. The light source may be a plurality of spaced apart LEDs. The microtexture may be applied to the entire surface of the lens or select regions of the lens. The microtexture is defined after the hardcoat is applied, and is defined via removal or disruption of hardcoat material. The microtexture may be defined in different ways to vary the appearance of the microtexture.
LIGHT ASSEMBLY FOR ATTACHMENT TO A SURFACE OF A VEHICLE
A light assembly for attachment to a surface of a vehicle. The light assembly includes a vehicle base configured to be coupled to the surface of the vehicle and a light head coupled to the vehicle base. The light head is configured to rotate relative to the vehicle base about a first axis and about a second axis that is different from the first axis. The light head is configured to rotate about the first and second axes at a first speed in response to a first user input, and to rotate about the first and second axes at a second speed that is different from the first speed in response to a second user input.
VEHICLE LAMP
To improve the sense of connection between a fixed-side lamp unit and a movable-side lamp unit. A vehicle lamp includes; a fixed-side unit, and a movable-side unit, the fixed-side unit has: a first light source; a first light guide body; and a first outer lens having a first front surface part, and a first leg part, the movable-side unit has: a second light source; and a second light guide body; and a second outer lens having a second front surface part, and a second leg part, the second leg part has a light control surface, and the light control surface performs control such that light emitted from at least one of the first light source and the second light source and incident on the light control surface passes through inside of the second leg part and is emitted from a front surface side of the second leg part.
Lamp for vehicle and vehicle including the same
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a lamp for a vehicle, the lamp including a plurality of light sources configured to form two or more types of light distribution patterns, and a light guide unit disposed at one side of the plurality of light sources and having a recessed region having a shape recessed upward in a lower portion of the light guide unit, in which the plurality of light sources includes a first light source disposed rearward of the light guide unit and configured to face a rear portion of the light guide unit, and a second light source disposed below the light guide unit and configured to face a lower portion of the light guide unit, in which the light guide unit includes a first light entering portion provided on a rear portion of the light guide unit and configured such that at least a part of light emitted from the first light source enters the first light entering portion, and a second light entering portion provided in the recessed region of the light guide unit and configured such that at least a part of light emitted from the second light source enters the second light entering portion, and in which the second light entering portion is positioned below a function division plane which is an imaginary plane connecting an uppermost end of the rear portion of the light guide unit and a lowermost end of a front portion of the light guide unit.
LIGHTING AND/OR SIGNALING DEVICE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE AND A LIGHT GUIDE THEREFOR
A lighting and/or signaling device for a motor vehicle. Further, the device includes a light guide having a light incident region, a first optical region, a second optical region, and a third optical region. Further, the first optical region is configured to receive and redirect incident light rays from the light incident region to the second optical region as a first set of light rays. Further, the second optical region is configured to receive the first set of light rays, refract a first portion thereof towards an exit facet and reflect a second portion thereof towards the third optical region as a second set of light rays. Further, the third optical region is configured to receive the second set of light rays and is configured to reflect the second set of light rays towards an exit facet of the third optical region.
Vehicle exterior lighting systems with revealable fascia lamp assemblies
Vehicle exterior lighting systems may be equipped with fascia mounted lamp assemblies. The proposed systems are capable of controlling a fascia lamp assembly to reveal the lamp assembly within the vehicle fascia and then produce various lighting effects based on sensed vehicle conditions. Exemplary fascia lamp assemblies may include a conductive lens that can be charged in order to reveal the lamp assembly within the vehicle fascia.
Motor vehicle light module
Motor vehicle light module (1) comprising at least one microprojector (2) and at least one at least partially translucent projection screen element (3), the at least one microprojector (2) being configured to create a light distribution (4), the light distribution being projectable in the form of a predefinable luminous pattern (5) onto the at least one at least partially translucent projection screen element (3), wherein, when the motor vehicle light module (1) is in a switched-on state, the predefinable luminous pattern (5) is visible on a side (30) of the projection screen element (3) facing away from the microprojector (2) and contains optically displayed information.
MULTI-COLORED VEHICLE REAR LAMP
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.
VEHICLE LAMP
A vehicle lamp includes: a first light source and a second light source having light emission colors different from each other; and a light guide body that receives and emits light from the first light source and the second light source. The light guide body includes an incident portion on which the light is incident, a reflecting portion that reflects the light incident from the incident portion, and an emitting portion that emits the light reflected by the reflecting portion. The reflecting portion includes a plurality of first light distribution control surfaces that reflects the light from the first light source toward a predetermined direction and a plurality of second light distribution control surfaces that reflects the light from the second light source toward the predetermined direction. The plurality of first and second light distribution control surfaces are alternately arranged.
