A lighting module for a vehicle is disclosed. The lighting module comprises a light source configured to generate a light emission in an emission direction substantially along a forward operating direction of the vehicle. A circuit is in connection with the light source. The lighting module further comprises an optic device comprising a body forming a receiving surface. The receiving surface is configured to receive an input emission of the light emission. The optic device is configured to transmit the input emission through the body, emit a first portion of the input emission along a primary path directed toward a passenger compartment of the vehicle, and emit a second portion of the input emission along a stray light path into a light trap formed by the body and arranged substantially opposite the light extraction surface.

A light beam forming module, in particular in the vehicle external lighting system, is in the form of a monolithic body formed of a plurality of contiguous cross-sectional segments, each of which includes an entrance surface facing the light source, an exit surface, and a first total internal reflection surface and at least another total internal reflection surface. A first total internal reflection surface is positioned downstream of the entrance surface, and at least one further total internal reflection surface has a shaped optical structure formed thereon.

The present disclosure provides a light source assembly for a vehicle lamp, a method for producing a light source assembly, and a signal lamp for an automobile vehicle. The light source assembly for a vehicle lamp includes: a base body; at least one metal holding member, each of which includes a light source holding part and one or more penetration parts, the light source holding part being arranged on a first surface of the base body, the penetration part penetrating through the base body from the first surface of the base body and extending outwardly from a second surface of the base body, the second surface being opposite to the first surface; and a light emitting component mounted on the light source holding part of the at least one metal holding member.

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.

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.

A light emitting device is provided to a vehicle. The light emitting device includes a display portion and a light emitting portion. The display portion includes a first light source and a light guide plate that guides light from the first light source to form a first image in a space. The light emitting portion includes a second light source and a light emitting region that overlaps with the first image in a vehicle front-rear direction at a position close to the first image and emits light from the second light source to the outside of the vehicle.

An illuminated emblem assembly with improved homogeneity includes an emblem body comprising emblem edges, a housing comprising a chamber, a light source positioned at a second end of the chamber, and a light guide positioned over a housing aperture, the light guide having a proximal side facing the emblem body and a distal side facing the light source. Light enters the light guide through a housing-side entry surface disposed on the distal side. A first exit surface is defined by a first proximal edge of the proximal side and a first distal edge of the distal side. A second exit surface is defined by a second proximal edge and a second distal edge. The illuminated emblem assembly includes a reflector that directs light exiting a reflector-side transmissive surface of the light guide back through and toward the first exit surface and the second exit surface.
