The apparatus comprising a lens module; an image sensor; a light source; and an optical unit, wherein the image sensor is spaced apart from a rear of the lens module so that the image sensor and the lens module are formed to operate as a camera, the light source is disposed to be coplanar with the image sensor and disposed at a peripheral portion of the image sensor, the optical unit is disposed in front of the light source so that light emitted from the light source is directed to a rear end of the lens module, and the camera-puddle lamp integrated apparatus is formed to operate as a puddle lamp by the light source and the optical unit.

A rear view device for a motor vehicle includes a base assembly for arrangement on the motor vehicle, a moveable head assembly attached to the base assembly, and an actuation mechanism, the actuation mechanism including a fixed part attached to the base assembly and a moveable part attached to the head assembly, where the actuation mechanism allows movement of the moveable part with respect to the fixed part in one or more axes.

An automatic side mirror camera system for a vehicle where the camera system eliminates blind spots. The vehicle side mirror has a built-in video display portion, enabling drivers to see both the mirror and the camera display at the same time. A camera is housed inside the side mirror housing, and turns on automatically when the turn signal is turned on by the driver. The automatic side mirror camera system may also be connected to a backup camera, and automatically display the view from the backup camera whenever the vehicle is in reverse. The automatic side mirror camera system may also be connected to one or more proximity sensors located on the vehicle so that the camera display turns on automatically if one of the proximity sensors is triggered.

In accordance with the teachings described herein, a rearview device for a vehicle is provided that includes a moveable head assembly; a base assembly to be fixed to the vehicle; an actuator assembly; and a cradle configured to attach the actuator assembly to the moveable head assembly and/or the base assembly and a vehicle with such a rearview device.

Floor projection device for a motor vehicle for producing at least one floor projection, wherein the floor projection device has an illuminant and a projection means, wherein the illuminant is configured to generate and at least partially emit light onto the projection means, wherein the projection means is configured to project the light which is emitted by the illuminant onto the projection means, in a state of the floor projection device integrated into the motor vehicle, onto a carriageway as a floor projection to the side of the motor vehicle, wherein the floor projection comprises at least two light segments separated from one another, wherein the illuminant has for this purpose at least two individually controllable light sources, wherein each light segment is assigned at least one light source, wherein the projection means has a focal point or a focal line, wherein at least one of the at least two light sources is arranged offset relative to the focal point or focal line of the projection means, wherein a first portion of the light is emitted along a first beam direction, which is directed directly onto the projection means, wherein a second portion of the light is emitted in a second beam direction, which is not directed directly onto the projection means, wherein the floor projection device has absorption means and/or deflection means, which are configured to at least partially absorb and/or deflect the second portion of the light such that the second portion of the light does not reach the projection means.

A vehicular door mirror device is provided which includes an engagement claw provided on one of a lamp unit and a mirror housing being engaged with a latching part provided on the other of the lamp unit and the mirror housing, wherein the mirror housing includes a housing main body that has a mirror housing recess part and is pivotably supported by a base member, and a cover that has the slit formed therein and is mounted on the housing main body so as to cover the housing main body from a side opposite to an open direction of the mirror housing recess part, the cover being provided with a restriction part that restricts displacement of the engagement claw toward a direction in which the engagement claw disengages from the latching part. The lamp unit is thus prevented from detaching from the mirror housing even under an external impact.

A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror reflective element, a mirror back plate, and a blind zone indication module having a light source that is electrically powered to emit light. When the light source of the blind zone indication module is electrically powered, light emitted by the light source passing through (i) a light-transmitting portion of a housing of the blind zone indication module and (ii) a light-transmitting aperture of the mirror back plate illuminates an icon that is viewable to a driver of the vehicle who views the mirror reflective element. Illumination of the icon is responsive to a blind spot detection system of the vehicle detecting presence of another vehicle that is traveling in the same direction and in a lane adjacent to a lane that the equipped vehicle is traveling in and that is approaching or is overtaking the equipped vehicle.

A lamp includes: a housing in which an accommodating portion for accommodating a sealed member is arranged; a lens which covers the accommodating portion and is bonded to the housing; and a resin bonding material which is in contact with the housing and the lens and bonds the housing to the lens. Besides, the housing includes, as the accommodating portion, a first accommodating portion having an elongated shape, and a second accommodating portion having an accommodating part wider than that of the first accommodating portion, wherein a first abutting surface of the housing and a second abutting surface of the lens in the second accommodating portion are formed in a manner that the respective surfaces thereof have an uneven shape. The resin bonding material is in contact with a protruding surface of the housing and a wall portion of the lens.

A multi-function rearview device for use with a vehicle includes a housing configured to be attached to the vehicle and to be moveable relative to the vehicle, a rearview element including at least one of a reflective element, a camera and a display element, a bezel formed at an outer portion of the multi-function rearview device surrounding the rearview element, with the rearview element being attached to at least one of the bezel and the housing, one or more light assemblies providing at least one or more light function indications, including a Human Machine Interface (HMI), and at least one sensor, the sensor controlling the one or more light assemblies or the display element.

An apparatus for implementing a plurality of functions using a micro lens array may include a light source for generating light, a collimator that forms the light from the light source as straight light and emits the straight light, a road surface pattern array that outputs a road surface pattern indicating a travel direction of a vehicle on a road surface while the light emitted from the collimator passes, and a turn indicating array disposed spaced apart from the road surface pattern array in one direction, and outputting a signal indicating the travel direction of the vehicle while the light emitted from the collimator passes.
