Luminous emblem
A luminous emblem includes a substrate including a mounting surface on which a light-emitting element is mounted, a housing that accommodates the substrate, an outer lens that guides light reflected by the housing, and an ornament portion that includes a transmissive portion. The ornament portion is mounted to the outer lens so as to cover the outer lens from outside. The housing includes a curved surface and a protrusion. The curved surface faces the transmissive portion and has a curvature. The protrusion reflects some of the light emitted from the light-emitting element toward the curved surface. A first position on the protrusion, which is a position farthest from the inner surface of the bottom wall, is located closer to the inner surface of the bottom wall than a second position on the curved surface, which is a position farthest from the inner surface of the bottom wall.
Lighting module and lighting device provided with same
A lighting device disclosed in an embodiment of the invention includes a substrate; a plurality of light sources disposed on the substrate; a resin layer covering the light source on the substrate; a light blocking layer having an opening portion on the resin layer; and a lens plate disposed on the light blocking layer, wherein the lens plate includes a light transmitting portion and a convex portion arranged on one surface or the other surface of the light transmitting portion, and the total area of the opening portions is 50% or less of an area of an emission surface through which light is emitted through the resin layer, and the interval between the lens plate and the light blocking layer may be greater than the length of the opening portion.
Vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly
A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head accommodating a mirror reflective element and an illumination module, which includes a light source, a first mask, and a second mask. When the light source is powered, emitted light that passes through the first mask is a first color and emitted light that passes through the second mask is a second color. With the mirror assembly mounted at a vehicle, and when the light source is powered to emit light, light emitted by the light source passes through the first mask to project a first projected image onto a ground region and passes through the second mask to project a second projected image onto the ground region. The first projected image includes a first logo portion having the first color, and the second projected image includes a second logo portion having the second color.
Optical module of a motor vehicle lighting system
The invention relates to an optical module of a motor vehicle lighting system, including at least one light source, a primary optical element comprising at least one primary optical member connected to an exit optical member, the primary optical member including a light entry face and a junction face connecting the primary optical member to the exit optical member, the primary optical element being a one-piece component, and an optical projection system designed to project, onto the ground, using light emitted by the light source and collected by the primary optical member, an image of the junction face, the primary optical member being arranged so that the image of its junction face that is projected onto the ground by the optical projection system is entirely bounded by substantially sharp edges.
LIGHTING MODULE AND LIGHTING DEVICE PROVIDED WITH SAME
A lighting device disclosed in an embodiment of the invention includes a substrate; a plurality of light sources disposed on the substrate; a resin layer covering the light source on the substrate; a light blocking layer having an opening portion on the resin layer; and a lens plate disposed on the light blocking layer, wherein the lens plate includes a light transmitting portion and a convex portion arranged on one surface or the other surface of the light transmitting portion, and the total area of the opening portions is 50% or less of an area of an emission surface through which light is emitted through the resin layer, and the interval between the lens plate and the light blocking layer may be greater than the length of the opening portion.
Thick appearance lens using reflective surfaces
Aspects of the disclosure include a relatively thin lens that leverages reflective surfaces to provide a thick lens appearance and methods of manufacturing the same. An exemplary vehicle includes a component having a lens. The lens includes a light pipe configured such that opposite sidewalls of the light pipe face each other across an airgap, a first reflector surface having a first reflective material formed on a first sidewall of the opposite sidewalls, a second reflector surface having a second reflective material formed on a second sidewall of the opposite sidewalls, and a third surface positioned between the first reflector surface and the second reflector surface and configured such that light can pass through the third surface and into the airgap. A path of light within the airgap is elongated due to internal reflections between the first reflector surface and the second reflector surface, thereby providing an infinity mirror effect.
ILLUMINATED SIGN DEVICE WITH REPLACEABLE LENS
A sign device is disclosed. The device includes a mounting frame for mounting a light box to a surface of a vehicle; a lens frame for coupling to the mounting frame and movable between an open position and closed position; and a removable lens retainable by the lens frame such that, when the light box is activated with the lens frame in the closed position, the light box back lights the lens. In the closed position, a seal seals a space between the lens and the light box.
Vehicle lamp having excitation light source, light conversion unit, and red lens
A vehicle lamp includes a lamp housing with a red lens forming a lamp chamber, an excitation-light irradiation unit for emitting excitation light with a wavelength shorter than 500 nm, and a light conversion unit disposed in the lamp chamber. The lamp lens is a red lens. The light conversion unit includes a light emitting film that receives the excitation light and emits secondary light of a wavelength longer than 500 nm, a reflection film for redirecting the secondary light towards the light emitting film. The secondary light exits the vehicle lamp through the red lens.
Anamorphic directional illumination device with selective light-guiding
An anamorphic directional illumination device may provide a near-eye display apparatus or a vehicle external light device. The anamorphic near-eye display apparatus comprises a spatial light modulator with asymmetric pixels; an input transverse anamorphic lens; and an extraction waveguide that passes input light in a first direction between a polarization-sensitive reflector and front guide surface to a lateral anamorphic reflector, and to reflect the light back through the extraction waveguide to guide between the rear guide surface and front guide surface. Reflective extraction features are arranged to extract the reflected light towards the pupil of a viewer, maintaining the directionality of the fan of light rays from the spatial light modulator and anamorphic imaging system. A thin, transparent and efficient anamorphic display apparatus for Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality displays and for scene illumination is provided.
Lighting module and lighting device comprising same
A lighting module disclosed in an embodiment of the invention includes a circuit board; a plurality of light emitting devices arranged in a first direction on the circuit board; a resin layer sealing the plurality of light emitting devices; and a reflective member disposed on a surface of the resin layer and having an opening portion on one side, wherein the resin layer includes: an exit surface portion on which the opening portion is disposed; a curved surface portion opposite to the exit surface portion; and an upper surface portion disposed on the curved surface portion and the exit surface portion, wherein the light emitting device overlaps the curved surface portion in a vertical direction, the upper surface portion of the resin portion has a horizontal plane, and the width of the opening portion in the vertical direction is smaller than a height in a vertical direction of the exit surface portion, and the light emitting device may be disposed closer to a lower end of the curved surface portion than to a lower end of the exit surface portion.
