Disclosed is a lighting device of a vehicle capable of achieving an enhancement in luminous efficacy. The disclosed lighting device includes a light source for generating light, a light guide including a light emitting portion formed with first patterns arranged in a longitudinal direction of the light emitting portion, to guide the light, the light emitting portion performing light emission using the light, and a light receiving portion to receive the light generated by the light source, and a back cover, on which the light guide is mounted. The back cover is formed with second patterns arranged in a longitudinal direction of the back cover at a portion of the back cover, on which the light receiving portion is mounted. The first patterns are formed to have a greater width with increasing distance from the light source. The second patterns are formed to have the same width.

A vehicle lamp includes a lamp chamber, an automatic operation marker lamp unit, and a sensor device. The lamp chamber includes a lamp body and an outer lens, and the automatic operation marker lamp unit and the sensor device are integrated in the lamp chamber. The automatic operation marker lamp unit informs surroundings that a vehicle is being driven automatically, and a sensor device detects information around the vehicle.

In a vehicle door mirror device, a projection device projects a graphic from a graphic film. The projection device is inserted into a cap in a state in which a holding tube of the cap has been inserted into a through hole in a visor, and the holding tube is held between a peripheral face of the through hole and a protrusion portion of the projection device. The projection device is thus installed at the visor in a manner retained by the cap alone. This thereby enables easy installation of the projection device to the visor.

The light device for motor vehicles comprises a carrier case, a translucent cover, and an inner chamber where the light source and a linear light guide are mounted. A part of the light guide's outer casing forms the output surface for exiting light rays. Light guide's body comprises an active part for output of light rays from the light device, and an inactive part not visible in viewing inner chamber through translucent cover. Light guide includes a case comprising two arms, either one having at least one contact area on its inner surface to attach light guide in its mounting position therebetween. The distance between the contact areas can be increased during introduction of the light guide into its mounting position, and subsequently reduced after mounting of light guide to a distance at which the light guide surface is in contact with the arm contact areas.

The present disclosure refers to a light module, comprising a lens unit, which is formed with a bottom, a lid and one or more side walls between the bottom and the lid, wherein the one or more side walls provide one or more insertion openings; a printed circuit board unit, which carries one or more light sources and is inserted into the lens unit through a first insertion opening of the one or more insertion openings such that light emitted by the one or more light sources exits the light module through the bottom and/or the lid of the lens unit; and a housing unit, which is provided with a bottom opening, a lid opening and one or more side walls between the bottom opening and the lid opening, wherein the lens unit is arranged within the housing unit such that the bottom opening of the housing unit is closed by the bottom of the lens unit, the lid opening of the housing unit is closed by the lid of the lens unit, and the one or more insertion openings of the lens unit is closed by the one or more side walls of the housing unit. It also refers to an external rear view device with such a light unit.

A lamp for an automobile and the automobile. A lamp for an automobile includes: a substrate part; a plurality of light sources provided in close contact with a top surface of the substrate part and configured to emit light; a fluorescent layer spaced upward from the substrate part and the plurality of light sources and including a fluorescent material; and an inner lens provided in close contact with a top surface or a bottom surface of the fluorescent layer.

A present invention is a vehicle lamp provided with: an elongated light guide member provided in a lamp chamber, an incident end part being positioned below said member; and a light source provided in the lamp chamber so as to face the incident end part. The light guide member has: a light guide main part having an elongated shape in which one end is the incident end part, a prism part being provided along the longitudinal direction, the prism part causing a portion of the light incident from the incident end part to be emitted in the irradiation direction; and a flange part projecting from the light guide main part in the direction intersecting the irradiation direction. The flange part is provided with a reflecting surface that forms a depression angle with a projecting end face when viewed from the incident end part side within a prescribed range viewed in the longitudinal direction.

A lighting system for a motor vehicle includes a printed circuit board equipped with light emitting diodes for emitting light beams in lighting directions and an optical module formed to propagate and transmit the light beams. The optical module has a reception surface to receive the light beams and an emission surface for retransmitting the light beams. The lighting system also includes at least one element for masking the light beams emitted by the light emitting diodes. The element for masking which extends from at least one of the light emitting diodes toward the reception surface and substantially parallel to the lighting direction of the at least one light emitting diode, over at least a part of the periphery of the at least one light emitting diode and over at least a part of a distance separating the at least one light emitting diode and the reception surface.
