Light conductor device and meter device including the same
A light conductor device receives light from a light source. The light conductor includes a radial conductor including an annular body, a conductor base, and outer segments. The annular body extends in a circumferential direction. The conductor base extends from the annular body inward in a radial direction. The conductor base extends in the circumferential direction. Each of the outer segments extends from the annular body outward in the radial direction. The outer segments are arranged in the circumferential direction and distant from each other in the circumferential direction. The annular body is located between the conductor base and the outer segments in the radial direction to bridge the conductor base and the outer segments into a single piece.

Sheet light source using laser diode
A sheet light source is described that has a width in a front-to-back “x” direction, a length in a left-to-right “y” direction, and a height in a bottom-to-top “z” direction. The sheet light source includes a bottom conductive surface, a laser diode, a transparent conductive sheet, and an adhesive material portion. The laser diode is mounted on the conductive surface in the “z” direction. The transparent conductive sheet is laminated onto the laser diode and the conductive surface in the “z” direction. The adhesive material portion is located between the conductive sheet and the conductive surface, and binds the transparent conductive sheet to the laser diode and the conductive surface. The adhesive material portion further enables photons, emitted substantially in the “x” direction from the laser diode, to propagate therein to an edge and be output.

LIGHTING DEVICE FOR MOTOR VEHICLES
A lighting system for a motor vehicle passenger compartment includes a light beam shaping device and an projection optical element configured to convert the light beam into an output beam. The beam shaping device is configured to emit a pixelized light beam formed of a plurality of sub-beams.
ILLUMINATED CUP HOLDER ASSEMBLY
A cup holder assembly includes a lens and a cup holder liner. The lens is configured to receive light from a light source and direct the light towards a perimeter edge of the lens. The cup holder liner is composed of a light transmissive material and is disposed above the lens. The cup holder liner includes a peripheral wall that has an interior surface defining a receptacle. The lens extends beyond an exterior surface of the peripheral wall to define a perimeter edge segment of the lens that protrudes from the exterior surface of the peripheral wall to the perimeter edge of the lens. The lens is configured to emit light from the perimeter edge segment into the peripheral wall through the exterior surface thereof to illuminate the interior surface of the peripheral wall of the cup holder liner.
MULTI-BEAM VEHICLE LIGHT
A vehicle light includes a lighting unit with multiple light-emitting elements (LEEs), one or more couplers, a light guide and an extractor. The lighting unit has a curved elongate extension. Each of the couplers has an input aperture coupled with one or more of the LEEs and an exit aperture coupled with a first edge of the light guide and is configured to couple light from the LEEs into the light guide. The light guide is configured to propagate light via total internal reflection to a second edge of the light guide. The extractor has an input aperture coupled with the second edge of the light guide and an exit aperture configured to emit light into an ambient environment.
