Multiple light sources are arranged in an array. A light guide member receives light emitted from the multiple light sources on its back face, and outputs the light thus received from its front face. The light guide member has a base portion such that its back face faces the multiple light sources and such that it extends in the array direction of the multiple light sources. Multiple back-face protrusions and multiple front-face protrusions are formed such that they protrude from the back face and the front face of the base portion. The front-face protrusion has multiple continuous faces in the circumferential direction along the front face of the base portion.

The present invention aims to improve the visibility of a display drawn on a road surface and to providing a high alerting function for passengers of other vehicles and pedestrians, etc. A drawing device 1 for vehicles that draws a display 10 on a road surface 200 by using an anther colored light. The amber colored light is irradiated such that a brightness contrast calculated using the road surface drawing brightness and the background brightness is at least 0.2, when the display brightness is considered the road surface drawing brightness and the brightness of the environment around the vehicle is considered the background brightness. As a result, the brightness contrast between the road surface drawing brightness and background brightness increases, thereby improving visibility of a display drawn on a road surface and providing a high alerting function for passengers of other vehicles and pedestrians, etc.

A vehicle reflective assembly is provided herein. The reflective assembly includes a lens and a housing attached to the lens. The lens includes a reflective assembly portion. A base layer having reflective characteristics is disposed on the lens in the reflective assembly portion. A photoluminescent structure is disposed on the base layer and is configured to luminesce in response to receiving an excitation light emitted by a light source. A reflective layer is disposed on the photoluminescent structure and has one or more reflective beads configured to reflect a first portion of incident light directed towards the reflective assembly portion and allow a second portion of the incident light to pass therethrough. The second portion of the incident light includes the excitation light therein.

The present invention relates to a rear lighting and/or signaling device, notably for a motor vehicle, comprising a light source, a transmission surface and means for distributing at least a part of the light from the source on the transmission surface, the distribution means comprising a matrix of micromirrors that can each be driven according to at least two different inclination positions. Another source is present and a mode of operation allows the illumination of a part of the micromirrors by the source and another part by the source.

A lamp for a vehicle includes a lamp unit including a plurality of light emitting areas arranged in a direction; a mode determination unit configured to determine a selected light emitting mode among a plurality of light emitting modes of the lamp unit; and a control unit configured to cause at least one of the plurality of light emitting areas to generate light having a first color or a second color based on the determined light emitting mode. In particular, the plurality of light emitting modes comprises: a first light emitting mode in which the light of the first color is generated from the plurality of light emitting areas; and a second light emitting mode in which the light generated from each of the plurality of light emitting areas is changed from the first color to the second color sequentially.
