Further, a surface of at least one of the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate includes a plurality of protrusion patterns.

A projection device including a light source system having an excitation light source for generating a excitation light, a wavelength conversion device, a supplemental light source for generating a supplemental light, a light introducing device for directing the supplemental light to the wavelength conversion device, a light collection device for collecting the supplemental light that scattered and reflected by the wavelength conversion device. By setting the relative sizes of the light introducing device and the light collection device, the luminous flux of the supplemental light that is lost due to the light introducing device is less than or equal to a quarter of that the luminous flux of the supplemental light collected by the light collection device. The converted light is supplemented by the supplemental light.

A light assembly is positioned in a vehicle rear portion of the at least one side wall. A box light is configured to emit light into the box and a puddle lamp is configured to emit light in a vehicle rearward direction.

A diffuse reflection material, a diffuse reflection layer, a wavelength conversion device, and a light source system are disclosed. The diffuse reflection material includes white scattering particles and an adhesive agent, where the whiteness of the white scattering particles is greater than 85, and the white scattering particles contain high reflection scattering particles with a whiteness of greater than 90, high refraction scattering particles with a refractive index of greater than or equal to 2.0, and high thermal conductivity scattering particles, where the high thermal conductivity scattering particles are boron nitrite and/or aluminum nitride particles, and the particle shape of the high thermal conductivity scattering particles is rod-like or flat. The reduction in the thickness of the diffuse reflection layer is realized while keeping a high reflectivity, thus causing the wavelength conversion device to have both a high light efficiency and high heat stability.

A light source system and a lighting apparatus comprising: a light-emitting module which emits first light along a first light path and second light along a second light path; a wavelength conversion device which received the first light to emit excited light with a different color from that of the first light; and a compensation device which guides the second light and adjusts a luminous intensity distribution of the second light so that the luminous intensity distribution of the second light exiting from the compensation device is substantially identical to that of the excited light. The second light exiting from the compensation device is combined with the excited light to form third light to be emitted from the light source system. The luminous intensity distributions of the first light and the second light in the third light are substantially the same, and illumination light spots have a uniform color.
