Disclosed is a fallen object detection apparatus and method for controlling a component to continuously provide a service, provided by a communication device, when the communication device has fallen inside a vehicle. A fallen object detection apparatus inside a vehicle includes: a monitor configured to monitor an inside of the vehicle in which a passenger and an object are present: an identifier configured to identify that the object is a communication device capable of being connected to the component inside the vehicle in response to determination that the object is determined to have fallen on the basis of a monitoring result; and a processor configured to connect the object with the component and control the component to continuously provide a service, provided by the object, when the object is identified to be the communication device.

The invention relates to a lighting device for a motor vehicle's interior that includes a first optical module, a plurality of selectively activated light sources that are mounted on a support; an optical element for collecting light rays from light sources; the optical element further including primary positioning members and the support that includes primary complementary positioning members; the optical element mounted in such a way on the support that primary positioning members collaborate with primary complementary positioning members.

A display apparatus includes: a substrate having a first surface; a light source that is disposed to the first surface of the substrate; a display plate that is disposed adjacent to the first surface of the substrate; and a light block body that surrounds the light source between the substrate and the display plate. The light source includes a light source body that emits light, a light source base material that has a mount surface, the light source body being mounted to the mount surface, and a mold portion that transmits the light and covers a circumference of the light source body on the mount surface of the light source base material. The mount surface is positioned closer to the display plate than an end face of the light block body, the end face being adjacent to the substrate.
