An illumination module for a motor vehicle that includes at least a light source, an optical light guide including an entry face for the light emitted by the light source and a light exit face. The optical guide is arranged in order to allow propagation of the light from its entry face to its exit face. An opaque mask is arranged on the path of the light rays exiting the optical guide and includes at least one window allowing the passage of the light. At least one supplementary optical element closes off the window. The supplementary optical element includes a convergent optical device.

A vehicle lamp includes a light source and a plate-shaped light guide body. The plate-shaped light guide body is configured to totally reflect light from the light source that is incident on the plate-shaped light guide body by a plurality of reflective elements formed on a first plate surface of the plate-shaped light guide body, and then, to emit the light from a second plate surface of the plate-shaped light guide body toward the front side of the vehicle lamp. The plurality of reflective elements are disposed in a state of being continuously arranged along a line extending in a required direction. Each of the reflective elements has a substantially concave spherical surface shape or a substantially convex spherical surface shape.

A laser-based fiber-coupled white light system is provided. The system includes a laser device comprising a gallium and nitrogen containing emitting region having an output facet configured to output a laser emission with a first wavelength ranging from 385 nm to 495 nm. The system further includes a phosphor member integrated with light collimation elements. The phosphor member converts the laser emission with the first wavelength to a phosphor emission with a second wavelength in either reflective or transmissive mode and mixed partially with laser emission to produce a white light emission. The system includes a transport fiber coupled to the phosphor member via the light collimation elements to receive the white light emission and deliver the white light emission remotely to a lighthead for either directly distributing white light on road or to a leaky fiber for illumination applications by side-scattering.

Provided is a vehicular illumination device capable of increasing a degree of design freedom in designing a vehicle having enhanced design. An illumination device is provided on a front portion of a vehicle. The illumination device includes a headlight, a light guide, and an outer glass. The light guide has an annular shape in such a way as to surround a periphery of the headlight. The outer glass includes a front surface portion for covering a front surface of the headlight, and a perimeter portion for covering a periphery of the headlight. The light guide is disposed along an imaginary plane inclined with respect to a tubular axis of the perimeter portion.

A method and an illumination arrangement for generating image effects in the interior of a motor vehicle or also outside the motor vehicle. To use existing installation space as efficiently as possible, light is radiated, in the form of at least a first optical reference wave field, onto a irradiation surface that is arranged laterally on an optical image storage device. In the optical image storage, which contains a holographic layer or a diffractive optical layer, the optical reference wave field is transformed into at least a first image wave field and is emitted on an emission side, at a first angular offset with respect to the irradiation surface.

A fiber optic light panel includes an optical fiber layer having a plurality of optical fibers each configured to emit light along a length of the optical fiber. The plurality of optical fibers are arranged in a predetermined form such that the optical fiber layer has a light emitting side configured to emit light, and a mounting side opposing the light emitting side. Also included is an adhesive layer having a first surface in direct contact with the mounting side of the optical fiber layer, and a second side opposing the first side and configured to directly contact a surface of a supporting structure such that the adhesive layer connects the optical fiber layer to the support structure.

A vehicle lamp includes a first light guide, a second light guide, a first light source, and a second light source. The first light guide includes a first portion extending in a first direction, a second portion extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and a third portion shaped to be bent from the first direction to the second direction and interconnecting the first portion and the second portion. The second light guide extends along the first portion and the third portion and has a shape gradually decreasing in a cross-sectional area outside of the bend of the third portion, thereby merging with the light emitting light guide.
