Vehicle exterior optical device having molded plastic device to control lighting output
An optical device configured to be attached to a rear of a vehicle to provide exterior lighting, and to control the direction and intensity of the exterior lighting. The optical device having a socket configured to be attached to the rear of the vehicle, a light positioned within the socket and configured to emit light rays, an inner lens positioned within the socket and configured to receive the light rays, an outer lens positioned within the socket and surrounding the inner lens, and a molded plastic device positioned in front of or attached to the outer lens to create a cut pattern to allow the light rays to be focused in a desired area.
LAMP FOR VEHICLE AND VEHICLE INCLUDING THE SAME
A lamp for a vehicle and a vehicle including the lamp. One aspect of the present disclosure provides a lamp for a vehicle, the lamp including a first light source configured to emit light, a light guide unit having one side facing the first light source and configured such that the light emitted from the first light source enters the light guide unit, a rotary shaft having one side fixedly coupled to the light guide unit, and a power supply unit configured to provide power for rotating the rotary shaft.
Single Point Alignment for LED Prescription Optics
A vehicle lamp includes a substrate, a lens having a pivotal attachment to the substrate and defining a lamp chamber between the lens and the substrate, at least one light source provided in the lamp chamber, an alignment portion integral with and extending from the lens parallel to the substrate and having an aperture, and an adjustment mechanism extending through the aperture and the substrate, the adjustment mechanism configured to adjust alignment of the lens with a single-point adjustment.
LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE
A light emitting device includes: a light emitting unit; an optical member configured to transmit or pass light emitted by the light emitting unit, the optical member including: a first region configured to transmit or pass light having a first chromaticity; and a second region configured to transmit or pass light having a second chromaticity different from the first chromaticity; and a movable member configured to move to change a distance between the light emitting unit and the optical member along an optical axis of the light emitting unit.
Dynamic adjustment of forward lighting projection lens using photochromatic material
Systems, apparatus, methods, and computer program products to enhance the operation of a light system. A light apparatus includes an optical member to project light, one or more elastically deformable position adjustment members, and one or more light sources. The elastically deformable position adjustment members are operable to adjust a mounting position of the optical member, and include one or more photochromatic regions to facilitate movement of the one or more elastically deformable position adjustment members from a contracted state to an expanded state in response to exposure to UV light. The one or more light sources operable to selectively emit illuminating UV light in a direction that contacts the one or more photochromatic regions to thereby adjust a mounting position of the optical member and change a direction of light emitted by the lighting apparatus.
Lamp for vehicle having a light guide coupled to a rotary shaft
A lamp for a vehicle and a vehicle including the lamp. One aspect of the present disclosure provides a lamp for a vehicle, the lamp including a first light source configured to emit light, a light guide unit having one side facing the first light source and configured such that the light emitted from the first light source enters the light guide unit, a rotary shaft having one side fixedly coupled to the light guide unit, and a power supply unit configured to provide power for rotating the rotary shaft.
VEHICLE LIGHT DEVICE WITH AN OPTICAL ELEMENT PINNED WITH A FLEXIBLE BRACING ELEMENT
The present invention relates to a motor vehicle light device that includes an optical deflector, at least one bearing element, and a pinning element. The pinning element has a bracing element bearing a contact portion, the bracing element at least partially surrounding the optical deflector, the contact portion bearing against the optical deflector. The optical deflector, the bearing element and the pinning element are arranged so that the optical deflector is at least partially gripped between the bearing piece and the contact portion, so that, in a direction running from the bearing piece to the contact portion, the contact portion is rigid and the bracing element is elastically deformable.
ONE-PIECE LENS WITH DRIVEN WHEEL SECTOR
The present invention relates to a vehicle lighting device including a lens intended to deflect the light rays emitted by a light source and including a wheel sector with a driven surface. The wheel sector is made in one piece with the lens as a whole. Also included is a driving means with a driving surface such that the driving surface is in contact with the driven surface, and movement of the driving surface drives movement of the lens.
LIGHTING DEVICE
A substrate supports a light source and a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to be able to control lighting and lights-out of the light source. The substrate is supported to a conductive housing. The housing is configured to couple with a transparent cover through which light emitted from the light source is to pass. The housing has a through-hole. A connector unit has a connection part and a terminal holding part. The connection part is arranged outside the housing. At least a part of the insulating terminal holding part is arranged in the through hole. The terminal holding part holds a conductive terminal. The conductive terminal is coupled to the substrate and electrically connected to the control circuit.
LIGHTING APPARATUS
A lighting apparatus is disclosed with a light generating device, at least one collimator lens, first and second parabolic mirrors, an optical diaphragm embodied in a light reflecting fashion, and a spherical mirror. The diaphragm is arranged between the parabolic mirrors, extending as far as a common focus of them. The parabolic mirror, the device and the lens are arranged so that light emitted by the device and collimated by the lens is directed onto the first parabolic mirror reflection surface and light reflected by the first parabolic mirror reflection surface impinges on the second parabolic mirror reflection surface or on the diaphragm. The spherical mirror is arranged so that its focus is arranged at the common focus of the parabolic mirrors and light reflected at the diaphragm impinges on the spherical mirror reflection surface and is directed from the reflection surface onto the second parabolic mirror reflection surface.
