20230034836 · 2023-02-02 · ·

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.

ADAPTABLE HANDLEBAR LIGHTS WITH TURN ACTUATION
20230029461 · 2023-02-02 ·

A bicycle including a handlebar attached to a frame at substantially a midpoint and a seat post, a plurality of light sources normally disposed to project light in either of a first, second or third forward direction, said plurality of light sources controlled by a microcomputer which employs a sensor to monitor the immediate position of either the handlebar with respect to the frame or the orientation of the bicycle with respect to the horizontal, and which selects the appropriate light source to be illuminated to project light in the most preferred direction to illuminate the anticipated path of the bicycle to improve visibility and safety during operation, particularly under low ambient light conditions, and wherein the microcomputer activates one or more front or rear turn signals, and brake lights in response to movement of the bicycle, handlebars or a manual signal.

Method of addressing an LED array with light intensity adaptive LED sidewalls

A first pixel with a first pixel sidewall is disclosed. A second pixel with a second pixel sidewall facing the first pixel sidewall is also disclosed. A first dynamic optical isolation material between the first pixel sidewall and the second pixel sidewall and configured to change an optical state based on a state trigger such that a light behavior at the first pixel sidewall for a light emitted by one of the first pixel and the second pixel is determined by the optical state, is also disclosed.

Two headlights are spaced apart from each other in the transverse direction of a vehicle in which they are installed. When the headlights are in position to simultaneously provide light patterns, a first light pattern is located at least partially above a second light pattern in the vertical direction with respect to the installation position of the headlights.

AUTOMOTIVE LAMP

Multiple light sources are arranged in an array. A light guide member receives light emitted from the multiple light sources on its back face, and outputs the light thus received from its front face. The light guide member has a base portion such that its back face faces the multiple light sources and such that it extends in the array direction of the multiple light sources. Multiple back-face protrusions and multiple front-face protrusions are formed such that they protrude from the back face and the front face of the base portion. The front-face protrusion has multiple continuous faces in the circumferential direction along the front face of the base portion.
