A lighting device for emitting illumination light includes an LED configured to emit light emitting diode radiation, a laser configured to emit laser radiation, and a phosphor element configured to at least partly convert the LED radiation and the laser radiation into a conversion light which at least proportionally forms the illumination light. The LED, the laser and the phosphor element are arranged relative to one another in such a way that during the operation of the lighting device on an incidence surface of the phosphor element in each case in the time integral the LED irradiates an LED irradiation surface with the light emitting diode radiation and the laser irradiates a laser irradiation surface with the laser radiation. The laser irradiation surface and the LED irradiation surface are free of overlap.

An electronic control module of a light source includes at least one circuit card supporting electronic components and configured to be received by a first of its edges in a housing. The control module has in the vicinity of the first edge a connecting portion including at least one rib perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the plane defined by the circuit card.

In a motor vehicle having motor vehicle exterior lighting devices and an operator control device, the following lighting modes of the motor vehicle exterior lighting devices can be set: deactivated, parking light, daytime running light, forwarding lighting, and automatic mode in which the motor vehicle exterior lighting devices are operated by an automatic forward light controller. The operator control device has a single monostable operator control element by which the lighting modes can be set; or the operator control device has a monostable operator control element by which the deactivated, parking light, daytime running light and forward lighting lighting modes can be set. The operator control device has a pushbutton key or a toggle lever by which the automatic mode can be set.

A lighting device for an automotive vehicle comprising means for controlling the supply of power to a plurality of light sources, the plurality of sources being divided into at least two groups of sources. The device according to the invention is remarkable in that each of the light source groups fulfills a specific lighting function of the device and is distinguished by a requirement for electric current of a specific intensity. Additionally, the control means are capable of selectively supplying power to each of the light source groups exclusively of the other groups. A power supply method implementing the device according to the invention is also proposed.

A light emitting drive device has an output voltage supply unit, and an emergency drive unit. The output voltage supply unit generates an output voltage from an input voltage on the basis of a control signal transmitted from a control unit, and supplies at least one light emitting element with the output voltage. In the cases where the emergency drive unit received a signal indicating abnormality of the control unit, the emergency drive unit lights the whole or a part of the at least one light emitting element irrespective of the control signal transmitted from the control unit.

A light module for a motor vehicle comprising: a light guide with an input face and at least two branches each extending from the input face according to a specific length and a specific section; at least one light source arranged at the input face of the light guide, the input face being adapted to couple light rays emitted by the light source in the light guide; wherein the two branches are contiguous over a part of their length from the input face to a determined point of separation, the two sections of the branches overlapping over a zone of intersection which is present from the input face to the determined point of separation. The two sections are substantially constant along the branches from the input face over a length greater than or equal to the length of the branches between the input face and the determined point of separation.

A vehicle lamp includes a lamp outer case, a reflection-type first lamp unit, a direct emission-type second lamp unit, and a compound lens. The lamp outer case includes a cover and a lamp housing. The first lamp unit has a first light source, a reflector and a shade and forms a collective optical system. The second lamp unit has a second light source, which directly emits light, and forms a defuse optical system. The compound lens is disposed along an inner surface of the cover, and has an outer surface facing the inner surface of the cover that is formed as a curved light emitting surface. The cover also includes first and second control portions. The light emitting surface has a shape which is displaced to the rear as it extends transversely outwards of a vehicle.

A vehicle information display apparatus includes: at least one processor configured to receive a vehicle state of a vehicle, and detect a forward object ahead of the vehicle; a flip-dot display installed in the vehicle and configured to implement a pixel by rotating a flip disk; and an illumination module installed around the flip-dot display, and configured to illuminate a surface of the flip-dot display.

A vehicular lighting apparatus is relatively small, low cost, superior in mountability, and offers a superior design. The vehicular lighting apparatus attachable to a front end 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.
