A turn signal unit for an external mirror for a motor vehicle is designed to radiate a flashing light forwards in the direction of travel with the turn signal unit and the external mirror in the installation position at the side of the vehicle. The turn signal unit includes a light source and a lens disposed in front of the light source. A film with alternating light transmissive and non-light transmissive structures is clamped in the space between the light source and the lens. The film is clamped via a clamping structure which includes structure that is part of the lens and/or a housing portion of the turn signal unit.

Disclosed in a lamp for a vehicle, the lamp including a light source configured to emit light, and a pattern conversion unit disposed forward of the light source and configured to form two or more types of light distribution patterns by receiving the light emitted from the light source, in which the pattern conversion unit includes a light-transmitting member disposed to face the light source and configured to transmit the light emitted from the light source, and a polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) member provided to be in close contact with one surface of the light-transmitting member.

Vehicle exterior lighting systems may be equipped with fascia mounted lamp assemblies. The proposed systems are capable of controlling a fascia lamp assembly to reveal the lamp assembly within the vehicle fascia and then produce various lighting effects based on sensed vehicle conditions. Exemplary fascia lamp assemblies may include a conductive lens that can be charged in order to reveal the lamp assembly within the vehicle fascia.

A lamp for the rear of a vehicle is disclosed with a light transmissive cover having a red first illuminated surface area and a clear second illuminated surface area. It has a first LED light emitter located directly beneath the red first area, a second LED light emitter located directly beneath the clear second area, and a third LED light emitter, also located directly beneath said clear second area. The third red LED light emitter is for emitting red light through the clear second area simultaneously with light transmitted through the red first area, whereby the first and second areas are adapted to collectively form a contiguous red illuminated surface area.

A lighting apparatus includes light emitting elements having an emission peak wavelength of 400 to 510 nm, a first phosphor having an emission peak wavelength of 485 to 700 nm, a second phosphor having an emission peak wavelength of 510 to 590 nm, a third phosphor having an emission peak wavelength of 600 to 700 nm, and a color filter having transmittance for light with a wavelength of 600 to 730 nm that is 80% or more and transmittance for light with a wavelength of 410 to 480 nm that is 3% or more and 50% or less. The color filter transmits a part of light emitted from the first phosphor, at least a part of light emitted from the second phosphor, and at least a part of light emitted from the third phosphor. Light transmitted through the color filter is emitted to the outside.

A semiconductor device includes a first substrate, a semiconductor device includes a first substrate, a color filter layer over the first substrate in an effective pixel region, a second substrate over the color filter layer, a joint member joining the first and second substrates, and a pattern layer over the first substrate outside the effective pixel region. The color filter layer has a color filter material and the pattern layer has the color filter material. In a planar view with respect to a surface of the first substrate on which the joint member is disposed, the pattern layer is disposed between two portions of the joint member, the two portions being separate from and adjacent to each other. In the planar view, the joint member is not disposed between the pattern layer and an end of the first substrate closest to the pattern layer among ends of the first substrate.

A lighting device for a motor vehicle includes a cavity, at least one illumination source arranged in the cavity, and at least one detection system which is arranged in the cavity and includes an emitter and/or a receiver designed to transmit and receive electromagnetic waves in a predetermined wavelength range. The lighting device includes a trim arranged in the cavity and behind which the emitter and/or the receiver of the detection system are arranged. The trim includes an interference filter which is transparent in transmission at wavelengths in the predetermined wavelength range and is reflective for the wavelengths transmitted in the visible spectrum.

To provide a vehicular lamp capable of making a desired light distribution on a light shielding member while having a simple configuration. The vehicular lamp comprises a first and second light source each having a light emitting surface and being arranged in a predetermined parallel direction; a single condenser lens for condensing light emitted from the first and second light source; a light shielding member provided with an irradiation slit through which light condensed by the condenser lens is partially passed; and a projection lens for projecting light passed through the light shielding member to form an irradiation pattern.
