A light-guiding element (1) for a lighting unit, comprising a light-guiding body (5) having at least one light entry face (2) and at least one light exit face (3), wherein the at least one light entry face (2) comprises a plurality of entry sub-faces (2a) offset from one another at least in the light propagation direction (−x), wherein the entry sub-faces (2a) are oriented substantially normal to the light propagation direction (−x).

Provided is a vehicular lighting apparatus which is relatively small, can be manufactured at low cost, is superior in mountability to an automobile, and is superior in recognizeability of an object illuminated by a head lamp. The vehicular lighting apparatus attachable to a front end part of a vehicle includes: a composite lens element that is a light guide element constructed by molding a translucent resin substantially into a plate-like shape; a planar light-emitting unit that emits illumination light; an optical system that transforms planar light from the light-emitting unit into linear light and that causes the linear transformed light to be incident on a rear side face of the light guide element; and a diffraction lens formed on the rear side face of the light guide element on which the linear transformed light is incident, and condensing the linear transformed light. The light condensed by the lens means is emitted from a front side face of the light guide element onto a road surface in front of the vehicle. The light-emitting element emits whit light including red light.

This invention provides an automotive lighting device (1) comprising a plurality of solid-state light sources (2) and a light guide (4). The solid-state light sources (2) are configured to emit light according to a light direction (d), each one having a light source centre (20) and each one defining a light source plane (21), which is a plane perpendicular to the light direction (d) which contains the corresponding light source centre (20). The light guide (4) has a reception inlet (40) which projects an optical profile (41) on the closest light source plane (21) according to the light direction (d), the optical profile (41) having an optical centre (42). The light sources (2) are arranged to project light beams to the reception inlet (40) of the light guide (4) in such a way that at least 70% of the light source centres (20) are closer to the optical profile (41) than to the optical centre (42).

To easily increase display quality of light even in a case of a long light guide body. Depth h1 of a first dot (106) is larger than depth h2 of a second dot (108) in the vicinity of a light source, and, as a location comes closer to an end on an opposite side to the light source, depth h1 of the first dot (106) is reduced, and depth h2 of the second dot (108) is increased. Therefore, it is possible to easily increase display quality of light even in a case of a long light guide body.

A lighting system for providing a lighting image a first substantially linear lighting structure of at least one lighting component of a plurality of lighting components and a second substantially linear lighting structure of the at least one lighting component of the plurality of lighting components. The first substantially linear lighting structure is configured to appear to intertwine with the second substantially linear lighting structure on at least one cross-over point of a plurality of cross-over points. At least one of the first substantially linear lighting structure appears to overlap the second substantially linear lighting structure at the at least one cross-over point of the plurality of cross-over points and/or the second substantially linear lighting structure appears to overlap the first substantially linear lighting structure at the at least one cross-over point of the plurality of cross-over points.

An illumination device includes a light source and a light guide including a first light guide portion and a second light guide portion. The second light guide portion contains a light-emitting face, and the excitation light emitted by the light source is coupled and enters the first light guide portion and is emitted via the light-emitting face of the second light guide portion. The area of the cross section, perpendicular to a light guide central line, of the second light guide portion is gradually decreased in the direction of an optical axis of the light source. An angle between an intersecting line of the light-emitting face of the second light guide portion and the cross section passing through the light guide central line or any tangent line of the intersecting line and the light guide central line is an acute angle.

An optical light emission system for a motor vehicle, the optical system comprising: a first light emission subsystem comprising a first set of light sources, and a second light emission subsystem comprising a second set of light sources and a light guide able to diffuse the light from said light sources of the second set of light sources outside the optical system. The light guide is arranged facing the first set of light sources such that the first set of light sources substantially radiates through the light guide outside the optical system.
