A gauge assembly includes a gauge surface including at least one graphic, which may be a plurality of graphics defining a scale in a generally circular pattern on the gauge surface. The gauge surface has a viewable side. A light guide has a main body portion disposed adjacent to the gauge surface and corresponding to the shape of the gauge surface. The light guide has a plurality of raised tick marks extending from the main body portion. Each tick mark is viewable via a viewing side of the gauge surface. The light guide includes ends that curve away from the gauge surface to receive light. The light guide is configured to provide illumination to the illuminable graphic(s) and the plurality of tick marks.

An illumination apparatus includes: a light source including an LED and a lens; an illuminated body; and a cover, wherein: the light source is arranged inside the cover; the light from the light source passes between the edge of the cover and the illuminated body; the front edge of the cover defines the illumination range of the light from the light source with respect to the illuminated body; and the light transmittance of such portion of the lens as is near to the illuminated body is higher than that of the remaining portions.

An interior lighting module for a motor vehicle interior, the lighting module including at least two light sources, each light source being associated with an optical guide in order to make at least two distinct light beams. The lighting module thus makes it possible to produce at least two light functions, preferentially distinct from one another. According to the invention, the light sources of the lighting module are secured to one and the same planar substrate in order to facilitate the incorporation thereof in the interior of the motor vehicle and to facilitate the establishing of the electrical connections with the electrical circuit of the interior and also relates to a motor vehicle interior including such an interior lighting module.

An illuminable vehicle component includes a visible side and a component surface that is arranged on the visible side and provided with a three-dimensional structure pattern. At least one first light-producing device is arranged in a defined position relative to the component surface such that light emitted thereby illuminates first structure portions and generates a shadow that is cast on second structure portions. At least one second light-producing device is arranged in a defined position relative to the component surface such that light emitted thereby illuminates the second structure portions and generates a shadow that is cast on the first structure portions.

A lighting device includes a light source unit that outputs light, an elongated light guide including a first end surface on which the light is incident, a second end surface located opposite to the first end surface, an emitting surface, and at least one held portion provided on at least one of the longitudinal side surfaces different from the emitting surface, the light guide guiding the light from the first end surface to the second end surface, and a housing including an attachment portion to which the light source unit is attached, a housing portion that is open at an end portion on the attachment portion side and includes a housing recess to house the light guide and an exposure opening exposing the emitting surface, and a holding portion that holds the light guide in the housing recess by sandwiching the at least one held portion.

A seating assembly is provided herein. The seating assembly includes a partition disposed between first and second seats. The partition includes a panel movable between a stowed position and a deployed position along a track assembly. A first lamp is configured to project a first image onto the panel.

Provided is a high decorative illumination device that utilizes a lenticular lens sheet. An illumination device includes a lenticular lens sheet and an LED light source. The lenticular lens sheet is curved in an X direction, and a convex surface is formed in a concave shape. The LED light source is positioned inside the convex surface of the lenticular lens sheet. First and second reflection components from first and second bright points which are acquired by reflecting irradiation light rays from the LED light source from plano-convex cylindrical lenses are incident on left and right eyes of an observer who observes the illumination device. The observer observes a virtual image as if a light emitter is present in a position in which the first and second reflection components cross each other.
