The invention relates to an optoelectronic module, comprising a housing (11) having a first housing part (11) having a first cover surface (11a) and an opening (4); a mechanically flexibly designed organic light source (2) having an illuminating surface (2a); and a cover element (3) which is mounted on the illuminating surface (2a) and has a light-transmissive surface (3a) facing away from the illuminating surface (2a), wherein the organic light source (2) is introduced at least at some points into the opening (14), the first cover surface (11a) is curved and/or bowed, the size of the illuminating surface (2a) is at least 1 cm.sup.2, preferably at least 5 cm.sup.2, and the distance between the illuminating surface (2a) and the first cover surface (11a) is at most 1 cm, preferably at most 5 mm.

A cabin furnishing element for a cabin, such as a cabin of an aircraft, includes a panel having a panel body. The panel body includes an illumination surface having an illumination zone, and defines a lighting recess within the panel body relative to the illumination surface. The panel also includes a lighting system having a light source assembly and a light guide. The light source assembly and light guide are retained within the lighting recess defined by the panel body. The lighting system is adapted to selectively illuminate a portion of the illumination zone.

The laminated glass panoramic roof is a popular although expensive option offered on a growing number of automobiles. Much of its appeal comes from the sleek modern appearance that it gives to the vehicle. The opaque laminated vehicle roof, by removing vision and optical requirements can be produced at a lower cost. The opaque laminated roof, by retaining a glass outer surface, maintains the same exterior appearance, aesthetic and much of the appeal of a conventional laminated glass panoramic roof. The opaque laminated vehicle roof also allows for the use of alternate materials which can further reduce cost and weight while adding additional features such as installation hardware, fasteners, lighting, antennas and solar cells to the roof.

The disclosed subject matter generally relates to a lighting device including at least two optical output modules for jointly providing transformable output light. The transformable output light is transformable a diffuse light output and a light output that has higher contrast than the diffuse light. Accordingly, the inventors realized that an enhanced user experience for vehicle occupants is provided by a lighting device that can seamlessly transform its output light between diffuse light to more high contrast light. For example, a vehicle interior component may be illuminated with a diffuse light when it is in one state, e.g. when it is not used. In a second state, when the component is used or intended to be used, it may be illuminated with a high contrast light to provide the user with more helpful assist light.

A transparent illumination system and related light guide plate is provided. The system is configured to facilitate total internal reflection propagation of light through the light guide plate despite low index of refraction differences between the glass material of the light guide layer and the adjacent layer. The system includes a light source, such as a laser diode, and an optical element to fan out light from the light source in the plane of the light guide plate. The light guide plate includes internal light extraction features.

A light-emitting device includes: a holder having an elongate shape and flexibility; and a flat light-emitting element held by the holder and having a rectangular shape and flexibility. The holder includes a frame portion extending in a longitudinal direction of the holder, and a holding part protruding from the frame portion in a plan view. The frame portion of the holder and the flat light-emitting element overlap in a lateral-view direction, and the flat light-emitting element is joined to and held by the holding part.

The present invention provides a lamp for a vehicle including a housing in which an open surface is formed, a first substrate on which a light source is mounted and which is disposed in the housing such that the light source faces the open surface, a second substrate electrically connected to the first substrate and perpendicularly coupled to the first substrate, a terminal part coupled to an end portion of the second substrate to be in contact with a terminal of a socket connected to an external power source, and a lens coupled to the housing to cover the open surface, and thus may provide an advantageous effect in that areas of a heat sink and the substrate are minimized while electrical connectivity is secured.
