A rear structure of a vehicle includes a lamp and a dividing member. The lamp includes at least one lamp part, and is disposed on a rear portion of the vehicle. The dividing member is a member for dividing the lamp at least in a vehicle up-down direction. The dividing member is formed in such a manner that blinking of a single lamp part of the lamp is directly viewable both from above and below the dividing member when viewed from the rear side of the vehicle.

In various embodiments, an illumination system is provided. The illumination system may include at least two light guides, which each have an input coupling surface and an output coupling surface, and at least one radiation source having a radiation surface that faces the corresponding input coupling surface provided for a respective light guide. A distance between the input coupling surface of one of the light guides and the radiation surface of the at least one assigned radiation source and the distance between the input coupling surface of a further light guide and the radiation source of the at least one assigned radiation source differ.

Provided is a vehicle lamp configured such that light emitted from a light emitting element (30) and incident from an incident portion (22e) formed on a top surface (22c) of a plate-like light guide (22B) is reflected toward a front end surface (22a) of the plate-like light guide (22B) by a first reflecting portion (22f) formed on a bottom surface (22d) of the plate-like light guide (22B). At that time, the incident portion (22e) is positioned on a step-up surface (22c1) formed to protrude from a general portion (22c0) of the top surface (22c). Further, the first reflecting portion (22f) is formed such that its upper end edge (22f1) is located closer to the step-up surface (22c1) than the general portion (22c0) of the top surface (22c). In this way, a wide reflecting area of the first reflecting portion (22f) can be secured.

A vehicular lighting assembly (and methods of making the same) that includes a parabolic reflector; a condenser lens comprising a non-planar rear surface; an outer lens; a bezel between the lenses; and a light source that emanates light that strikes the reflector and exits the assembly through the condenser lens and the outer lens. Further, the non-planar rear surface of the condenser lens refracts ambient light entering the condenser lens away from the bezel. In embodiments, the non-planar rear surface can comprise a convex or a concave surface.

An air flap apparatus for a motor vehicle encompasses a frame having a flowthrough opening, on which frame at least one air flap is mounted movably relative to the frame, protrudingly into the flowthrough opening or penetratingly therethrough, the at least one air flap being displaceable between a closed position and an open position in order to modify a gas quantity flowing per unit time through the flowthrough opening in the context of a predefined impinging flow, the at least one air flap decreasing a flowthrough-capable cross section of the flowthrough opening more greatly in the closed position than in the open position, the air flap apparatus further encompassing a movement drive system that is coupled in movement- and force-transferring fashion to the at least one air flap in order to drive the at least one air flap to move between the closed position and the open position, at least one air flap constituting a light-emitting air flap including a flap light guide having a light emergence surface through which light transferred in the flap light guide can emerge to the external environment of the light-emitting air flap.

The present utility model discloses a light guiding device and a vehicle lamp. The light guiding device includes a light guide medium component configured to allow light to be transmitted through it from one end thereof to another end thereof. A light guide fixing component is arranged on the light guide medium component and configured to fix the light guide medium component, wherein the light guide medium component and the light guide fixing component are both at least partly made of a transparent material. The light guide fixing component has a light directing portion configured to direct the light leaked from the light guide medium component into the light guide fixing component to exit the light guide fixing component away from a predetermined direction. Using the light guiding device and the vehicle lamp according to the present utility model can prevent light exiting the light guide fixing component from forming undesirable light spots in an undesirable direction.

The light device, especially a signal lamp, for motor vehicles, comprises a carrier housing and a translucent cover of the carrier housing that delimit an inner chamber, wherein a planar light-guide is mounted to conduct light rays generated by a lighting element comprising at least one light source, and to emit them from at least a part of the front surface of the light-guide. In the area of the front surface, elevations and/or recesses are formed comprising surface areas of parts of macroscopic crystals

A method and device for controlling a light emission of a rear lamp of a vehicle. The rear lamp includes optical components having emission surfaces having at least three partial emission surfaces. At least a first and a second light function can be produced by the light emission of the emission surfaces. After a switchover process from the first to the second light function, the first partial emission surface, which emits light for the first light function, emits no light, the second partial emission surface, which emits light for the first light function, continues to emit light, and the third partial emission surface, which emits no light for the first light function, emits light.

The present invention relates to a vehicle lighting device including a first light guide and a second light guide each adapted to emit at least a part of a lighting function. The first light guide has a main light guide part, a fixing part fixing the main part to the second light guide and extending between the main part and the second guide so that one of the guides supports the other one in said lighting device.

The lighting device includes a lens unit mounted on a vehicle body and a light source unit embedded in the lens unit and hidden in the lens unit or configured to radiate light to the lens unit.
