Signaling system for vehicles, specific to warn the rest of users of the road that the opening any of the doors of the vehicle is going to occur imminently, before this opening occurs, which is achieved in the first place, with the installation around the outside mirrors of the vehicle of a set of powerful flashing lights (2R/2N), completely surrounding said mirrors by the mirror part, warning lights that will be oriented to be seen horizontally, and to the exterior of the vehicle so as to be easily seen by the users of the road and at the same time not to bother the driver. And second, this set of warning lights are connected to presence sensors installed on each of the interior handles of the vehicle doors that will allow detect the hand before it touches any of the interiors handles or concrete system of opening the doors, when the occupants are ready to operate them to open and exit, thereby gaining an essential time that does not exist until now.

A vehicle mirror device includes a housing, an imaging device, a light projection device, and a light shield unit. The housing is attached to a side portion of a vehicle and holds a mirror. The imaging device is attached to the housing and includes an image light acquisition unit disposed in a lower surface of the housing in a vehicle-mounted state. The light projection device is attached to the housing and includes an infrared irradiation unit disposed in the lower surface of the housing and disposed side by side with the image light acquisition unit in a left-and-right direction in the vehicle-mounted state. The light shield unit is provided on the lower surface of the housing and blocks infrared light going from the infrared irradiation unit toward the image light acquisition unit.

A method of making a rearview assembly includes operably coupling a rearview device with a front housing. A bonding material is applied to the front housing and a printed circuit board is operably coupled with the front housing. A rear housing is engaged with the front housing. Energy is applied to bond the front housing with the rear housing.

A rearview device for a motor vehicle includes a moveable head assembly, an actuator assembly having a fixed part and a moveable part, the moveable part being attached to the head assembly, a motor cradle configured to attach the actuator assembly to the moveable head assembly. A method of assembling a rearview device comprises providing the rearview device and attaching the actuator assembly to the moveable head assembly using the motor cradle.

A vehicular illumination module configured for mounting at an exterior portion of a vehicle includes a housing, a printed circuit board accommodated in the housing, and first and second light emitting diodes disposed at the printed circuit board. The first light emitting diode (LED) is operable to emit, when electrically powered, visible light, and the second LED is operable to emit, when electrically powered, infrared or near-infrared light. The first LED is electrically powered responsive to actuation of a key fob or detection of a passive entry device to provide visible ground illumination at the ground near the exterior portion of the vehicle. The second LED is electrically powered responsive at least in part to operation of a camera at or near the exterior portion of the vehicle to provide infrared or near-infrared light in the field of view of the camera.

A vehicular lighted exterior door handle system includes a lighted exterior door handle assembly and a light module disposed at the door handle assembly. The light module includes at least three illumination sources linearly arranged at a circuit board and individually operable to emit light. With the door handle assembly mounted at a door of a vehicle, the individual illumination sources are operated responsive to a user input that is actuatable by a driver of the vehicle to activate a turn signal indicator system of the vehicle. With the door handle assembly mounted at the door of the vehicle, and when the illumination sources are operated to emit light responsive to actuation of the user input, an operation sequence of the individual illumination sources is varied between at least a first operation sequence and a second operation sequence based at least in part on movement of the vehicle.

A rearview mirror having a display instrument function and a control system thereof are provided. The rearview mirror includes LED lights, glass and a glue-filled fluorophor located between the LED lights and the glass. Light rays emitted from the LED lights pass through the glue-filled fluorophor and are directed towards the glass. The glue-filled fluorophor includes a body and an extension portion, the body is flush with the LED lights, the extension portion is above the body and higher than the LED lights. Light-emitting areas are formed on outer surfaces of the body and the extension portion. The control system of the rearview mirror includes an OBD, an MCU and LED lights. The OBD is configured to acquire information on rpm and vehicle speed, and transmits it to the MCU. The MCU receives the information, generates control information and transmits it to a corresponding LED light for display.

An electric system of a vehicle including an electronically controlled braking system. The electric system has a steering angle sensor unit, at least one control module, at least one first inertia sensor and an electronic braking system central control unit EBS ECU. The at least one control module is external to the steering angle sensor unit. The at least one control module is also external to the EBS ECU. At least one of the at least one control module has mounted within it one of the at least one first inertia sensor.

A camera-puddle lamp integrated apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus comprising a lens module; an image sensor; a light source; and a translucent mirror, the light source is disposed so that light emitted from the light source intersects an optical axis of the lens module in the first area and disposed in a second area outside the first area, at least a portion of the emitted light is incident to the rear of the lens module by the translucent mirror and projected in front of the lens module through the lens module so that the camera-puddle lamp integrated apparatus operates as a puddle lamp, and image light passes through the lens module from a photographing area and at least a portion of the image light is incident on the image sensor through the translucent mirror so that the camera-puddle lamp integrated apparatus operates as a camera.

The optical assembly disclosed in the embodiment of the invention includes: a lighting module having a resin layer and a light emitting device inside the resin layer, and having an exit surface for emitting surface light to one side; a reflective portion having a recess in a lower portion of the exit side of the lighting module and an aspherical curved surface at the bottom of the recess; and a transparent cover on the recess to reflect the surface light to a set region.
