LIGHTING DEVICE WITH LIGHTGUIDE ASSEMBLY WHICH CAN BE LOCKED THEREIN
In a lighting device for a vehicle, a light guide assembly (10) for guiding the light emitted by a light source comprises a head portion (12) with decoupling elements (18) for decoupling at least some of the coupled-in light, and also a feed line portion (11), which comprises a coupling-in region (15) for the coupling-in of light from a light source and by means of which light coupled in in this way is fed to the head portion (12). The coupling-in region (15) has a first securing arrangement (13) with at least one element protruding transversely to the longitudinal axis of the coupling-in region (15), for example a pin, by means of which the coupling-in region (15) is insertable into a first securing location in the lighting device and lockable there. The head portion (12) has a second securing arrangement (14) for securing the head portion (12) in the lighting device.
VEHICLE LIGHT
A vehicle light, wherein light to be emitted by a base light source which is offset with respect to an emission surface is first conducted radially outwards in targeted manner and is then reflected in an axial direction with respect to the emission surface, uses light-conducting bodies, which are spaced apart from a deflection mirror, or a light-conducting space, which extends first radially and then axially, to obtain as light-intensive, uniform and directional light emissions as possible.
LIGHT GUIDE, VEHICLE LAMP AND MOTOR VEHICLE
A light guide, and a vehicle lamp and motor vehicle including the light guide, which is configured to be installed in an opening defined by a lamp frame of a vehicle lamp. The light guide includes an elongated body, the body having a light exit segment for guiding light from a light source to exit in a target direction, the light exit segment including a bend segment. The light guide further includes a wing-like part, the wing-like part being at least connected to the bend segment and being configured to fill a gap between the bend segment and an edge of the opening.

OPTICAL LENS
An optical lens (10) capable of facilitating efficient light distribution control with a simple configuration is provided. It comprises a plurality of light distribution control parts (11) continuing in a bilateral direction such that each of the light distribution control parts corresponds to each column of LEDs (22), the light distribution control parts defining optical paths of light from the LEDs (22) on a column basis, one light distribution control part (11) discharges light entering from the LEDs (22) in a column corresponding thereto in one direction of the bilateral direction that intersects the optical axes, and a further light distribution control part (11) discharges light entering from the LEDs (22) in a column corresponding thereto in a further direction of the bilateral direction that intersects the optical axes.
VEHICLE LAMP
A vehicle lamp has a light guiding body having a light guide section having a dimension in which a dimension in one direction perpendicular to an optical axis of the light emitted from the light source is smaller than a dimension in other direction perpendicular to the optical axis and the one direction, an incidence section that causes the light emitted from the light source to enter the light guide section, and an emission section that emits the light guided inside of the light guide section to outside of the light guide section, the shade has an opening section through which light that has entered the incidence section passes, and at a cross section in the one direction, the optical axis is located at a position offset toward one side in the one direction with respect to a central axis of the light guide section.
DISPLAY DEVICE
A light guide plate guides light from a light source to form an image in a space, and includes a light introduction portion and a light emitting portion. Light from the light source is incident on the light introduction portion. The light emitting portion includes a curved emission surface that emits light from the light source incident from the light introduction portion, and is bent and connected to the light introduction portion.

LIGHT GUIDE FOR LAMPS, LAMP FOR AUTOMOBILES AND ASSEMBLING METHOD OF SAID LIGHT GUIDE
A light guide for a lamp of an automobile includes at least one body made of elastic material adapted to conduct, at least partly, light rays within itself by total internal reflection; a supporting structure adapted to connect the at least one body to the lamp. The body comprises: at least one light inlet portion, from which the light rays emitted by at least one light source enter the body; a plurality of light emission portions, from which the light rays exit the light guide, so as to be visible to an observer. The light guide comprises at least two connection elements adapted to permit fastening the body to the supporting structure. The body includes at least one pliable portion between the at least two connection elements so that the body can be bent and/or curved to take a plurality of different conformations.
IR ILLUMINATOR WITH SECONDARY FUNCTION
An IR illuminator used during the operation of autonomous vehicles, which provides improvement in the performance of cameras used in the vehicle at night time. An optical design of an outer lens of the IR illuminator is selected so that the outer lens forms a beam pattern for the output light from the IR light source, and also acts as a light guide for light emitted from a secondary visible light source, which is located in the same module as the IR light source, and which may be positioned on the same or a different printed circuit board as the IR light source. The material of outer lens is opalescent including scattering bodies. The optical design of the outer lens allows for improved field of view of the IR illuminator.
